Three UK has unveiled the Nokia Lumia 620 and bundled the smartphone with its rate plans and at a reasonable price. The low-cost handset is currently out to be seized and buyers may find it stocked with a number of e-retailers as well. The service provider seems to be moving fast, given that it has laid claim over the device within a week of its launch in the nation.
The Lumia 620 together with the Lumia 920 will be shipping with dedicated pre-loaded Nokia apps. For instance, users could add motions to inanimate pictures using Cinemagraph, while the Transport feature should provide options during travelling. Moreover, City Lens serves as a guide around town with its ability to combine the camera and viewfinder.
Seeing as the handset is powered by Windows Phone 8, its 3.8-inch capacitive touchscreen display shows off a UI flaunting Live Tiles at a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels. With an intention to make viewing possible even under extremely sunny conditions, the screen utilizes the ClearBlack technology.
Internally, a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor which ticks at a clock speed of 1GHz has dual cores. Even though the integrated 5MP camera doesn’t tag along a Carl Zeiss lens like that of the Lumia 820, it manages to grab an LED flash and auto focus with a two-stage capture key. In addition, there is a VGA secondary webcam in order to allow video conferencing.
Apart from an inbuilt storage capacity of 8GB, users will spot a microSD card slot that should permit an expansion of up to 64GB. 512MB of RAM should act as a vital assistant to the CPU. As per the company’s claims, the embedded 1,300mAh battery could deliver talk time of up to 14 hours to 2G owners, whereas those on 3G may derive around 10 hours of talk time or 330 hours of standby.
The Nokia Lumia 620 has been made available at a cost of £17 a month without a down payment on the Essential Internet 100 plan by Three UK. Buyers could opt for the Ultimate Internet 100 scheme to enjoy All-You-Can-Eat data at £20 per month. The carrier is also offering the device at £169.99 on Pay As You Go. As mentioned earlier, the handset can be picked up even via e-retailers such as Clove for £227, while Expansys has put it up for preorder.
