Nokia Lumia 620 has been given a dual colored shell (Changeable Dual Colored Shells that is built to last as the color goes all the way through so that even if there are scratches it wont show) that houses a smartphone which delivers everything you'd expect from the Windows Phone 8. Live Tiles means the ability to personalize your "Start Screen" with people and apps that truly matter to you and on the plus side, you get to watch them update in real time. All this is shown on a ClearBlack Display that brings every detail to life even if you are under direct sunlight.

Overall the Nokia Lumia is a pretty powerful device, despite it's current position as an entry level introduction to the new Nokia Lumia line. It runs smooth without any lag issues and camera pictures turn out to be great considering that it only uses a 5MP camera. It is true to its campaign of easy to use especially with the Windows 8 platform. It packs just the right amount of features and so much more that it truly brings a lot to the table considering that is priced to compete with others in the budget range.

How it shall perform on a a day to day basis, that is something that I would like to get to hear about from Nokia Lumia 620 users. If you happen to have this unit, I would appreciate the feedback and your thoughts on the device. Simply leave a comment below.

Till Next Time...
