Customer Review

Not because it was particularly favorable, but because my daughter (22) had so much annoyed about the iPhone that she wanted to change for some research on a Windows Phone. The battery of the iPhone 4 already weakened so much that it was usable only several hours after charging and then had to be reloaded. In addition, the wireless reception was not really good and it always took ages to build pages in the integrated browser. With a limited budget this smartphone remained.

My son (18) with a Samsung Galaxy has been on the road and the "spider" app drew upon, also looking for a new smartphone. After a few hours of play with your phone my daughter he gave me the money in his hand and said, "Please order me also, I find the Lumia class". So a few days later ordered the 2nd Smartphone., This time not in yellow, but in black.

As Android disciples of course I just looked at the Lumia 630. I myself own the Galaxy S3 and S4:

Workmanship and design:
==========================
The Nokia Lumia 630 makes a high-quality impression, despite the low price. The two cover in black and white can be easily and stand without effort and do not feel like cheap plastic on. So you have changed the SIM card or battery quickly. The lid is securely attached and does not wobble. The battery cover there is still next to it in white, orange and green. Blue I missed and do not understand why you can not continue to provide it blue. Are the volume buttons and the on / off switch on the right side. In particular, the dimensions have it done to me, because the Nokia Lumia 630 is not much bigger than an iPhone, and significantly smaller than, for example, my Galaxy S4. Thus, it sits comfortably in your hand when calling.

Display:
======
At first glance falls on: There is no comparison with the S3 or S4. The display of these two smartphones are better by far. But then I remember the price: about 130 EUR. Because of course you can not expect a display in full HD. But this is not even enough for 854 x 480 pixels for HD. Nevertheless, one does not feel to look at a low cost display in the display in IPS technology. As with Samsung displays this 4.5 "wide display with Gorilla Glass 3 is protected against damage. In summary it can be said that the display is qualitatively reasonable price and be seen despite the low resolution pixels only at very close look.

Features:
=========
What struck me the same: The battery can be changed and you can use an additional microSD card, which is not the case, oddly enough for the higher priced Lumia models. So you can expand the 8GB onboard up to 128 GB proud. With a 1.2 GHz quad-core processor, most apps should run smoothly, considering that time not so long ago could not even boast a top notebook with such processing power. However, I have already received the feedback that it should depend on some, larger games like the free "asphalt" and himself convinced me. Most ran but properly. I guess for gaming freaks this smartphone is then not necessarily the first choice.

Bluetooth 4.0 and Wi-Fi are of course standard, but only HSPA is provided as a mobile data connection, ie no LTE! I would not expect for such a low price.

Voice and music quality:
====================
The voice quality I find very good and no worse than my Galaxy S4. The built-in speakers sound quite reasonable and have a high volume. Of course, there is a lack of bass, so a Bluetooth speaker is a good investment (this I have written 2 reviews)

Camera quality:
============
I have some test pictures taken with the 5 megapixel camera, which disappointed me a little. The Lumia 630 has a simple fair-weather camera, that is, if it is outside during the day light, the images are very good, but once it gets darker and even indoors, the images are quickly blurred. Party snapshots can therefore succeed only partially, particularly since no lightning is present. Skype is also not possible, because this is missing the front camera. But here we can say for the price it was to be expected and the quality of the pictures in order, relative to the price and the pictures from Sunday outing succeed so definitely.

Operating System:
============

The operating system is the brand new Windows Phone 8.1 comes to the application. Operation with sliding tiles makes me really fun. But it is important that the known Android rebar is available with this new version, which means you can now also here the screen pull down and get quick access to Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or display settings.

I do not want big describe the operation now, only this: Compared to Android and Apple, it takes some getting used to, but then you get very well with the tiles cope and I was the Windows Phone 8.1 so far as convinced that I probably after the contract end will switch to the Lumia 930.

Battery:
====
Nowadays hardly a battery lasts longer than one day. So even with my Samsung smartphones. Here, the Lumia 630 does not need to hide. On average, 1-2 days were possible, depending on the use.

Conclusion:
====
For the price, the Nokia Lumia 630 has a very good quality which does not have to hide behind the a quality and expensive smartphone. Was saved "only" on the equipment. Nevertheless, there is the brand new Windows Phone 8.1 operating system which can be operated intuitively and smoothly.

Who is not necessarily hardcore gamers and can do without some features, here gets a smartphone with a very good price-performance ratio, so that I may forgive conscientiously 5 Stars.
