Although I am a great-Android (mind you the only one in my family ... Accordingly, I have to constantly discussions with my iVerwandtschaft afford) I chose here for a Windows Phone. See the big square box in the pictures always so simple and intuitive from ... Why specifically the Nokia Lumia 625? It is equipped against the 630 model with a front camera and a flashlight, which I think particularly as a flashlight for especially useful. In addition, the screen is quite large, so it can also be read quite well without glasses.
The big day arrived, beautifully packaged gift. Of course, the joy of the unit was quite large, at least in Opa .. Grandma said, now he would play all day on the phone and not have to worry about the guests - she knows her husband is really good, because that also occurred; - ) The removal of the display film was also here, as with all new appliances, a magical moment. I had (loaded a lot of updates that will last!) The unit already prepared so that only the SIM card had to be used, and you're able.
Of course, nothing went immediately. I have first of all the basic functions of the phone tells him maybe a couple more times than once ;-). When he had a rough idea, we have made us the details. The day after the birthday party he has played around and tried like crazy. Meanwhile, he is really good with the Smartphone clear - what I am particularly pleased that he can not just do what I told him .. When I visited him recently, he has teamed up with Cortana (voice control) entertain and independently a app downloaded, which seeks the best gas price ..: D I gave him previously explained how to ever get into the AppStore!
A few more sentences to phone itself: The display is alright, my Super AMOLED display like me of the sounds but much better. Because you definitely see the price gap. Otherwise, the phone also makes speed technically a solid impression. I have not played 3D render Game care for everyday things, it is super. The camera is perfectly fine, the camera button is great. You can use it even focus like a 'proper' camera with autofocus (ie 2 pressure stages). The body of the device has the back a beautiful rough surface that does not feel cheap. Currently, a protective cover drum before him but too bulky for my grandpa. Without casing, the device is formed quite thin and comfortable, but a bit slippery ...
Conclusion: A truly effective device for which you actually get some. The latest Windows Phone version which you get immediately via update makes the software finally useful. Cortana do a good job and the tile pattern of Windows Phone is also easy to use our seniors. My grandpa is well understood, but something funny is the "Options" function within the apps (eg contacts). The best view before times.
The device is therefore suitable for old and young well. The price is really good and the service easy. If you also considering imposing a smartphone Greenhorn a device, then this is certainly a good choice. It offers the advantages of a smartphone combined with the simplicity of a 'senior handsets'. But it is important that its disposal is also physically contact, so lives nearby. Then the smartphone pleasure nothing stands in the way :-)
Have Fun!
