Better than the first impression

Have the Nokia Lumia get asked as a service telephone available 635. Had before the Samsung Ace and was satisfied. Priced are both in the same league, therefore hence the comparison to Android or Samsung.

Optics / housing: First impression represents the outer precious, could be confused already from afar with an iPhone. Only the most necessary ports and around quite closed, there is only one division of the display and shell. The shell made of simple plastic, but with a pleasant feel and without blemish. The shell separates from unconventional device. When peeled from the top down, dissolves by deformation.

Display: High-resolution, I see no difference to the HTC One mini and Sony Xperia S. The Berührempfindlichkeit is very good, I have with touch panels often the problem is that my Brührungen be detected immediately. Not the case here, very fluently and immediately triggering.

Call / letter: Removing or laying is intuitive. The voice quality is good, sometimes a bit poor. That means the other party sounds a bit quiet or noisy, this was not the case with the same participants with the Samsung ACE. To point silently you can fortunately use the Laustärkenregel on the side. What then raise the volume, but also the noise. In telephone conversations with good quality, the noise does not increase so much.
The keyboard is very good. Particularly praiseworthy the wiping function works perfectly.

System: My first Windows Phone. It is impressively fast and fluid, after a short adjustment period clear and tidy. Many functions can be easier than in the Android and no menu or apply like, for example, app uninstall apps attach / remove from the main screen to open apps. Individual things can, however, customize not as beautiful and elegant as in Android.
The biggest flaw is in the apps. Many applications that are a matter of course Android or Apple, to work here either poorly or are non-existent. The best running apps are mostly of Windows itself. There are also good third-party apps such as Amazon, GMX, Tuna, UC Browser, WhatsApp etc. These work very well and are sometimes even fast than Android, regrettably constitute these a minority.

Conclusion: if you can only live with the most important / famous apps and with the simple Windows design has no problem. Receives a low-cost, fast, well-equipped smartphone here. What with his performance may well provide the established brands Parole. Personally, I find it better than the Samsung Ace, only the voice quality could be a bit high.
