Nokia Lumia 635: reviews. Nokia Lumia 635 smartphone: specifications, price

At a time when the market for mobile deviceswas a fierce struggle for leadership between Apple and Samsung, another strong player - the company Nokia, acquired by the giant in IT Microsoft, took a pretty solid position in the market. So, a new line of smartphones Lumia, managed by the operating system Windows, was introduced. In particular, a year ago the Nokia Lumia 635 model was launched, the review of which we will carry out in this article.

Lumia smartphones on the mobile market

To begin with, it should be noted that smartphones Lumiaare presented on the market quite a long time, and for all this time they have already managed to take quite good positions, having won the trust of customers. These phones have a number of undeniable advantages even before the seemingly indisputable leaders of Samsung and Apple (we'll come back to this comparison more than once).

First, Lumia is managed by Windows Phone, whichalready gives some kind of alternative to those who are tired of Android and iOS. Secondly, Lumia have a pretty design, and this is an obvious plus in the event that a person doubts which model he wants to purchase. Thirdly, Nokia is famous for its cameras, which can be attributed to the arguments for buying the 635-th model. Finally, fourthly, the Lumia smartphone will cost less than Apple and Samsung, but in quality, it will leave competitors far behind.

Design and body of the device

As already noted, the appearance of devicesNokia is on top. Despite the fact that the body is made of glossy plastic, on which there are fingerprints, the phone has a firm bright design, developed with the use of smooth corners. Thus, the phone looks like a toy. This, in fact, attracts attention.

In general, the Nokia Lumia 635 (overview of this clearlydemonstrates) the layout of the navigation keys is standard: they are on the side of the phone. The mobile device lies in the hand easily, is pleasant enough to the touch, although it can give glare in the sun. The disadvantage of such a beautiful coating of the case can be called its susceptibility to scratches: they will be clearly visible on the glossy surface.

Lumia Camera

Let's pass to one more "chip", which possessall Lumia. These are high-quality pictures. Nokia Lumia 635 features in this regard is quite high. The device is equipped with a camera with a resolution of 5 megapixels, which can make a photo 2592 by 1944 pixels. This is more than enough to get an excellent picture. Partly also helps the auto focus function, which makes images even clearer. At the same time, the camera can independently recognize faces, due to which portrait photos go much better than those of the same Samsung.

Nokia Lumia 635 (the instruction confirms this) can also do video shooting at a rate of 30 frames per second. There is also a function of marking on the ground (Geotagging), as well as a 4-fold zoom.

Processor and Operating System

Let's move on to the processor, which is built into ourLumia 635. As stated in the technical specifications, the model comes with Qualcomm Snapdragon 400, a 4-core module that allows the phone to work at a clock frequency of 1.2 GHz.

What is the use of Nokia Lumia 635? Reviews note that such a "filling" is enough to react without delay to any user actions and perform various tasks. In addition, the mobile works on Windows 8.1, due to which the device is maximally optimized for effective assistance, so it's extremely difficult to see how the phone "buggy" or slows down. As a rule, Nokia Lumia 635 copes with all the tasks quickly enough. The characteristics of a smartphone can be called quite decent.

We should also mention the comfort of working with WP. It is obvious that many who have transferred to this platform from Android and iOS, it is unusual to act according to such logic. This can explain a large number of negative reviews about the quality of the device. In fact, you just need to take into account that Windows Phone is no worse and no better, it’s just different. Even the configuration of the Nokia Lumia 635 is not the way we used to do it on Android devices. And, buying such a phone, you need to understand this.

However, those who want to use the phone underits management will quickly get used. Although, of course, one can argue about which operating system is more convenient. True, the leader in any case will be the brainchild of Google. It’s not even the Nokia Lumia 635 that’s guilty, but the developers who have chosen just such an architecture of their system.

Windows Mobile Interface

With an interface that is offered by operatingWP system can be found, if not live, then on the official website of the developer. As you can see, this OS is presented in a slightly different format. This is the desktop, on which available applications appear as a grid. Anyone who initially goes to Lumia feels some limitations due to such an unusual construction of the Nokia Lumia 635 interface. However, reviews say the opposite: that WP is an advanced system, which is a real pleasure to work with. Obviously, the principle of "taste and color ...".

Graphic characteristics of the Lumia 635

Characteristics of graphics issued by the smartphoneIt can also be called another Lumia strength. The device uses a fairly strong graphics engine paired with a colorful IPS-display with a resolution of 480 by 854 pixels. This bundle provides to match the bright and colorful body and excellent color reproduction of the screen. Due to this, the phone can be called even more lively and attractive. Reviews about Nokia Lumia 635 confirm this: the phone seems much more beautiful due to such graphics. In addition, it is possible to work with images and multimedia: show your photos, videos, movies and more. A 4.5 inch display size allows this.

Nokia Lumia 635: equipment

Complete set in which mobile is on saleThe phone is primarily interested in those who want to purchase it. However, in this case, no intrigue can be made from what comes with the Lumia 635; there is nothing extraordinary here. In the box is a phone, charger, headset. The smartphone is offered without any additional installation drivers and devices. Everything is extremely prosaic and practical, despite the defiant bright design.

By the way, on sale there are five different colors of the model 635, so the buyer has a choice. Again, this can be called another nice bonus for those who appreciate the style of the mobile device.

Cost of apparatus

Do not forget about the cost of the phone asone of the criteria for its evaluation. It should be noted that since the device was released about a year ago (in April 2014), now it is, of course, considered obsolete, and therefore it is quite difficult to find it on sale. Most likely, you can find second-hand models, which, due to a sharp jump in prices, will cost more than at the time of the release of the device.

Last year, the Nokia Lumia 635 price wasset at 6990 rubles. Even as part of the cost of equipment in 2014, this proves that this mobile device belongs to the budget category. Now, for example, a more refined Lumia 640 model will cost the buyer 14,990 rubles. The class remains the same, only the list of functions and capabilities of the device is increased.

Results Pros and cons of the device

Let's summarize our review of mobiledevices. The first thing that pleases Nokia Lumia 635 is the price. Yes, the device can be called affordable with confidence, so it will suit both a business, busy person, who appreciates the style and wide functionality of the phone, and a schoolboy, who will simply like this model. Regarding the appearance, you can also note the Nokia brand glossiness of the model, which can also be seen on the iPhone 5C cover. Visually, it seems that the smartphone is covered with some kind of plastic shell. In general, it looks quite attractive. Even the 635th model has a good camera that allows you to take wide, high-quality images, and, of course, a non-standard operating system Windows Phone 8.1. You can generally speak about it separately. It is a versatile tool that is highly optimized for a variety of tasks. WP shell literally "flies"; accompanied by visual special effects, it can be called functional and pleasant to work with. Lumia also has a good screen.

Now about the shortcomings. You can start again from the display. Although the transfer of colors in general and images in particular, the model 635 is at a height, the disadvantage can be called too glossy texture of the surface, on which the user's fingerprints are clearly visible. The same can be said about the body of the smartphone, on which they are also clearly visible. The second negative point in working with the phone is the lack of a front-facing camera, which could serve as an excellent tool for creating selfie shots.

The third nuance of Nokia Lumia 635 (instruction,by the way, he doesn’t mention it) you can call the inability to control the smartphone while the hands are in gloves. This is a significant drawback for countries where winters are characterized as prolonged and cold.

You can also note the absence of metal inserts in the phone case: it is entirely made of plastic. Of course, this does not make practical Nokia Lumia 635. Reviews confirm this.

Finally, it may also seem inconvenient to someone.Windows Phone platform. In order to handle it, you need a habit that, of course, is not the case with the owners of devices on Android and iOS. However, do not be in a hurry to be disappointed if you first bought Lumia. It may well be that he is not quite good.
