Nokia has just announced earlier today its newest addition
to its Windows Phone 8 lineup – the Lumia 620. And this device is the company’s
most affordable WP8 handset yet, which puts it in the position just below the
Lumia 920 and 820 with a price of around 230 euros or approximately P12,300.
In terms of its specs, it’s clearly placed just below the
Lumia 820. For starters, the Lumia 620 has a 3.8-inch TFT capacitive
touchscreen compared to the 820’s 4.3-inch IPS screen. It also has a lower
pixel density at 246 pixels per inch. Moreover, its RAM is halved with only 512
MB worth of RAM compared to the 820’s 1GB. There will also be support for
microSD expansion of up to 64 GB.
The rear camera has a 5 MP sensor capable of capturing
images with a maximum resolution of 2592x1936 pixels. There is autofocus, LED
flash, geo-tagging and video recording at 720p at 30 frames per second. There’s
a front VGA camera for video calling.
In terms of performance, the Lumia 620 is powered by a 1 GHz
dual-core Krait processor on a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 chipset with Adreno 305
GPU. There is a built-in accelerometer,
proximity sensor, compass and A-GPS support and GLONASS. The phone’s browser
would likely support HTML5 and there will be a 7GB free SkyDrive storage that
comes with purchasing the phone. It will run on the latest build of Windows
Phone 8 and will have a standard Li-Ion battery rated at 1300 mAh.
