Review:

Nokia Lumia 630 is an amazing device. It's design and built quality are just so premium. Now talking about the Windows Phone 8.1 OS, then I promise you dear reader that I will post a detailed review of Windows Phone 8.1 once the official rollout begins. But it's a great OS with numerous amount of major and minor changes. The display of this smartphone is good as it uses the ClearBlack display technology and the IPS panel acts like a cherry on top. The resolution is although a bit low.

Nokia is also known for the image quality of their smartphones and camera quality of this phone is also above. Although, you cannot even think of low light photography because the flash is missing. The device has a 1.2 GHz Quad-core processor and I would definitely say that it deserves a thumbs up. The overall performance is smooth and totally lag free. Although, many of you will complain about 512 MB RAM but Windows Phone 8.1 is a very lite OS and it is optimized to work on low end devices with very limited amount of RAM. My gaming experience was also awesome but here you will feel the need of 1 GB RAM as many games will not work on this device. The battery backup is also average.


                                

Verdict:

I really like the built quality and design of this device. Nokia is now giving a tough competition to Moto G with their Windows Phone. Nokia Lumia 630 is readily available in stores and shopping websites but Moto G is exclusively available on flipkart.com (in India). Between Moto G and Nokia Lumia 630, I will choose the Nokia Lumia 630 being a Windows Phone and Nokia fan. I will rate it 4 out of 5.
