Here's what the Nokia Lumia 620 phone has to offer the user. We have analyzed the characteristics, and now it's time to move on to the appearance of the device.
Design
The design of Nokia Lumia is almost nothing like the design of the flagship devices. And just this is one of the highlights of the 620th model. The fact is that the freshness of the appearance (if you can call it that) of the device gives the phone some kind of unusual look. At the first glance at the phone, you understand that the dimensions of the device are too small. The screen frame is made with minimal distances. From the top edge, the indentation is reduced tominimum value. It is due to this solution that our Lumiya has a more compact appearance compared to other competitors. If you start talking about the screen, you can immediately say that its size is very close to the size of the display on the iPhone 4S.
Angles
On the back panel, the ends are rounded. This allows you to hold the device firmly and securely in your hands. It should be said that the rounding of the corners of the smartphone contributed not only to the reliability of the hold, but also to the convenience. But we are not talking about only hands: you can perfectly transport the phone in your trouser pockets. At the same time, the user will not feel any discomfort. Let's remember the same "Lumiya" of the 920th model. Many users complained about the sharpness of the corners as a disadvantage of the device. The situation in the case of the 620th model is exactly the opposite.
Color design
Let's not stray far from the comparison with Nokia Lumiya 920. If we talk about color diversity, then the 620th model is clearly ahead. She has a blue design option (matte). There is a possibility of registration in light green color. This is probably the brightest color in the line of corresponding devices. The panels of the device can be called a feature of the 620th model. The thing is that, unlike other phones, here the panels do not carry functionality. Well, let's say they do not have chips that help charge the phone remotely, wirelessly. Or they don't provide additional protection. Rather, the panels in this case are exclusively an element of unusual design.
Overlay technology
The official representative of Nokia in our country has already commented on this issue. In his address, he spoke about the technology for creating overlay panels for Lumiya 620. It turned out that they added a second layer of polycarbonate. It can be either translucent or transparent, or colored. It is superimposed in any case on top of the main layer. And this technology at the output allows you to get an additional color. In this way, the originally planned color depth effect is achieved. It's quite difficult to notice it in the photographs, but any user who picks up the device will personally make sure that the words of the company's official representative carry weight. Many users have already noted that the branding seems to float above the surface of the layer. Very well, a similar effect can be seen in glossy type panels. Especially the ones dyed light green.
Color Options
According to some data, matte type panels are the most popular among buyers. It is yellow, black, white. The blue color is no less in demand. There are currently 7 different panel colors for the 620 model on the market. Thus, the choice exists quite good. The panel in the phone is not very difficult to change. To do this, you just need to create an emphasis on the camera module of the device, and then drag the edges of the panel you want to remove.
About dimensionsoverlays
It should be said right away that these interchangeable elements are rather bulky. If you remove them, then the device will look miniature, and nothing else. Nevertheless, no matter what the representatives of the company and users who have familiarized themselves with the 620 model say, the panels help in some way protect the phone from damage. The thing is that the side ends are covered, as well as the back surface of the device.
Location of elements
And now let's talk about what hardware elements are on the edges of the phone. First of all, we note that the speaker is located at the bottom end. It is present on the back as well. On the side ends there are buttons for controlling the camera, a button for blocking the device, as well as a swing for adjusting the volume of the phone. At the bottom there is a microUSB connector. It is not provided with a cap. On the top edge there is a standard 3.5 mm connector. This is a wired stereo headset input.
Platform
Many flagship smartphones running the Windows 8 operating system are equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon platform. Our model uses, probably, the youngest chip from the corresponding family. Installed graphics accelerator Adreno 305. Yes, the hardware stuffing is not the most powerful. But who said that at the same time the phone becomes uninteresting and unnecessary? The difference can be noticeable in the newest games. Nevertheless, visually it will be quite difficult to catch the difference in the operation of the two types of devices. One might even say practicallyimpossible. Let's also not forget that the screen resolution is not bad, which again allows the device to "not slow down" in the course of performing various tasks.
This is about the processor and video adapter Nokia Lumia 620. The firmware for the device is on the official website of the company, from there you can always download it to install it on your device. And we continue to deal with what technical characteristics the device has. We won't see anything particularly interesting. RAM is set at 512 megabytes. Not a little, but not that much. The golden mean, as they say. At the same time, the amount of long-term memory is 8 gigabytes. Of these, only 5 GB is allocated to the user for storing personal data. The rest go to keep the system running.
Among the communication modules, we note Wi-Fi, which works with bands a, b, g, n. The user can turn the 620 into a mobile hotspot with a SIM card. After that, other devices can be connected to the access point, be it a smartphone, tablet or laptop. There is no wireless charging module, as well as LTE. There is Bluetooth version 3.0. The GPS function is supported. In general, we can say that the set of communication modules is quite typical for the corresponding device.
