In the test, get set, go ...
Curious, we have fallen to the very small packaging and the Nokia freed. The box is just twice the size of the Windows Phone (WP) per se. Where's the manual?
It is not a case, but only the instructions for initial operation.
This page manual is illustrated and in addition there are in the WP a film showing how the rear shell is removed to insert the battery and SIM cards.
Simcards? Correct, because the Nokia WP it is possible to use not just one but two SIM cards, which is super convenient, especially for users who are not only privately, but also professionally need to use the phone or want.
Conclusion: for me and also for the parents no problem
The WP is now on, battery and 2 Sims are used, the setup instructions and - instructions can be read on the display. The complete initial setup takes a maximum of five minutes. All instructions are self-explanatory and as with the Android a user account must be set up, which only but is used to identify and need not be used.
A manual - a complete - there are, but only on the phone itself in the list of all applications can be found at L -. Lumia help and advice. But this still has to be downloaded.
Conclusion: For newcomers would have a printed manual better for Smartphone Kenner enough the on-screen instructions completely.
The smartphone itself is externally well finished. The orange peel is a beautiful eye-catching and it is barely visible, that the rear wall is ever removed. Madness. The WP is very comfortable to hold, regardless of whether it is small or large. On the left side of the WP is no button on the right side are two. Up a long, this is, for example. For the volume control and the smaller button below, is to toggle.
Conclusion: For Androidnutzer or Samsung fans, the arrangement is unusual (right On / Off, left control and at the center of the button to return to the main menu), but my parents as newcomers arrive super clear it.
The screen itself is super - impressive color and a very good resolution. The surface itself is here completely new to Androidnutzer and requires familiarization. Instead arranged symbols, there are now tiles. DC is really only fast access bar on the settings (eg Wi-Fi), and notifications are displayed. This is as if drawn like a curtain down the Android.
When Nokia WP, there are not only above this navigation bar, but also below. This is important to return to the main menu or from all sides back. In addition, you can jump from the ledge directly above the Lupemsymbol into the net. With other smartphones, there is a button, here as I said not. Positive thing is that so much space is saved and the window viewing larger.
The tiles can be arranged as you like. Here, every user can decide for himself whether he wants to have a lot of display or little, whether it reflects certain apps based large tiles, located at Whatsapp individual chats brings eg. On the screen or anything prefer a quite small. The facility joy are no limits. The design is also color-changeable, depending on the mood, so to speak.
In addition to the main menu, there is a kind of second side. This is the store, can be found in the already already installed applications. Some of these are as equally, useful and not. Some, like XING and CEWE, act as advertising. If you like, this can also uninstall without problems.
The Windows Phone is still not as much as in terms of Android Apps. Instagramnutzer find a beta version, which in my view is, however, just like the normal version. Quiz duel users will find a highly simplified and not really nice app, but for now and use this is okay. Other important apps like Whatsapp and Facebook are well represented.
As Androidnutzer I am happy and have lots of fun with the WP, however, it takes time getting used to already. Allen Smartphonneulingen can offer the WP lot and my parents are super happy and get on well with them.
The battery lasts very well - on average as in the Androidsmartphones - over one day. However, it is of course also depends on how often you use your smartphone.
A funky device, which inspire the one, the other is upset. An evaluation is very difficult, but I hope to have given a good insight into the WP. I as Androidnutzer give 3 stars, 5 stars my parents, because they have no comparison. I think a mixture of 4 stars is aptly.
Thanks for reading the review.
