Even short review The characteristics of the new Nokia Lumia with 2 SIM cards are impressive, and using this bright smartphone leaves an unforgettable impression! Work, play and communicate, watch movies and listen to music in highest quality— 4 cores and 2 SIM cards will help in any matter. Forward!

If you were waiting for an inexpensive dual-SIM smartphone running operating system Windows Phone, then you have a reason to rejoice. Nokia Lumia 630 Dual SIM meets exactly these requirements, in addition, the device is powered by a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor, equipped with 512 MB of RAM and 8 GB of internal storage. The cost of the smartphone is estimated at 2000 UAH. On paper everything looks very interesting, let's try to figure out what impressions the smartphone leaves in practice.

The smartphone comes in a flat cardboard package. Inside the box is Charger, second cover and paper documentation. Unfortunately, there is no USB cable or any headset.

Design and ergonomics

Externally, the smartphone practically does not stand out. In general, Nokia Lumia 630 Dual SIM is a mid-price smartphone from Nokia. Replaceable covers make it easy to change appearance smartphone, which can be considered an advantage. It is worth noting that the device can have one of three colors for the back cover: white, orange and yellow. At the same time, as mentioned above, the smartphone comes with a second cover. In any case, it is black, so even if you buy a smartphone with a yellow main cover, you can easily turn the smartphone into a less bright one that does not stand out from others thanks to the black cover. We received a version with a white lid for testing. All lid options are made of matte plastic.

Covers the front surface protective glass. At its top there is a voice speaker, below it is the manufacturer’s logo. There is a microphone at the bottom of the front side. There is a plastic frame along the contour of the protective glass; it does not protrude above it. The sides of the body are beveled in relation to the back side. The left side is devoid of any controls, but on the right there are volume and power keys. By the way, due to the beveled sides the pressure is not as clear as we would like. The top end contains a 3.5 mm audio jack, and the bottom has a Micro-USB connector. On the back of the smartphone there is a 5 MP camera lens, the manufacturer’s logo, and at the very bottom there is a hole for the multimedia speaker. In order to make it easier to remove the lid, the manufacturer did not bother to make a protrusion, so this process is not entirely easy. Removing the cover, we get access to a battery with a capacity of 1830 mAh, two slots for SIM cards in micro-SIM format and a slot for expanding microSD memory.

The build quality of the device is good. When you press hard, there are no squeaks from the case, but even when you press lightly on the screen, streaks appear. As for ease of use, the small dimensions of the device allow you to comfortably operate it with one hand.

Operating system and shell

The smartphone runs under the operating system Windows systems Phone 8.1. Compared to Windows Phone 8.0, it became possible to select a screensaver for selected tiles, finally added the ability to continuously enter text, the ability to search for a smartphone and much more.

Now the notification shade can be customized to suit you. All this is just part of the changes that have affected latest version Windows Phone. The set of programs is well known from the company's past smartphones and includes navigation program HERE Drive+.

Hardware platform

Like most mid-price smartphones, the Nokia Lumia 630 Dual SIM works well famous processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 400. The processor contains 4 cores with clock frequency 1.2 GHz, and Adreno 305 acts as a video accelerator. Volume random access memory is only 512 MB, the built-in storage capacity is 8 GB, which can be increased if desired using microSD memory cards. Complaints about work wireless networks No. The reception speed of GPS satellites is very good and practically does not depend on the presence of an Internet connection.

In terms of performance, no critical problems were found. But on startup standard applications, such as the camera, for example, some settings items, not to mention third party applications, you can see the words “Loading” or “Resuming”. In principle, this slowness can be attributed to the frankly small amount of RAM. Otherwise, we have a pretty nimble device in front of us.

The volume of both speakers is high, but at the maximum volume the multimedia speaker begins to wheeze. The sound in the headphones is not bad. Not being an expert in this field, I can only say that most users will like the sound. And here standard means There is no recording of the conversation from the line, but this can be fixed by downloading the appropriate application from the store.

Despite the presence of two SIM cards, only one radio module is installed in the smartphone, which is why when talking on one of the SIM cards, the second one becomes inaccessible. If everything is clear in the hardware implementation, then the software implementation of the two cards is interesting. On the main screen there are two tiles of messages and a call log, that is, one tile for each SIM card. Possibilities fast switching there is no between them. On the one hand, this is good. Especially for more convenient separation between personal number and workers. If there is no such need, then you should get used to such an implementation. Well, if the second SIM card is used only for the Internet, then the tiles on the main screen can be easily removed.

Things are already noticeably better with video playback, but not as good as with Android smartphones. Full list Supported codecs include: H.263, H.264/AVC, MPEG-4, VC-1, and supported video formats: 3G2, 3GP, MP4, WMV, AVI, M4V, MOV. The list of supported formats and codecs is small, but at the same time this is already something compared to previous ones Windows versions Phone.

Playing video files

As mentioned above, the smartphone is equipped with a removable battery with a capacity of 1830 mAh. There are no surprises in terms of autonomy. Under average loads, the smartphone can work for up to two days. As can be seen from the tests, some Android smartphones, under equal conditions, demonstrate better results. You can see the results of autonomy testing in detail in the table.

To listen to music, we used a standard player, volume at 24 out of 30 possible, MP3 files with a bitrate of 320 Kbps. In reading mode (Tucan Reader), all wireless communications are disabled, including data transfer to mobile network, and the display brightness is set to 200 km/m². Navigation includes route guidance in the HERE Drive+ app. Brightness set to 200 km/m², all data communication modules are disabled. When playing a video, the display brightness is set to 200 km/m², the sound volume in the headphones is at level 24 out of a possible 30. When playing a video from YouTube (MetroTube), the display brightness is set to 200 km/m², the sound volume in the headphones is at 24 out of 30 possible levels.

Display

Nokia Lumia 630 Dual SIM is equipped with a 4.5-inch IPS screen with a resolution of 845×480 pixels with ClearBlack technology. The display is protected by Gorilla Glass 3. But there are serious complaints about resistance to fingerprints, since there is no oleophobic coating. As a result, fingerprints are almost always visible on the screen, which are very difficult to remove. Screen viewing angles are close to maximum. Despite the low resolution, screen grain is invisible to the naked eye. In sunny weather, the information on the display remains legible.

The results of display brightness measurements show the following: at maximum brightness 300.7 cd/m², 50% – 101.1 cd/m², minimum 14.51 cd/m² (default values). It is worth noting that in the absence of an automatic brightness adjustment sensor, the user is able to adjust the brightness only within three values: high, medium and low. Despite this, there is a way out - adjusting the brightness profile. Thanks to this option, the user can not only change the brightness within specified limits, but also swap the maximum brightness with the minimum and vice versa. The minimum brightness value can be record low, from 1 cd/m². Subjectively, the display has good color reproduction, and the ability to adjust color temperature and color saturation can be useful.

Camera

The device is equipped with a main 5 MP camera with autofocus and f/2.4 aperture and a focal length of 28 mm. It can record video with a resolution of 1280x720 pixels (720p) at a frame rate of 30 fps. There is no flash.

The quality of captured photos and videos is primarily affected by the conditions under which they were taken. In good lighting conditions, photos taken with a smartphone look quite good, but when insufficient lighting You shouldn't expect anything like this from the camera. In general, the quality of the camera can be called no more than average. There is no front camera.

The Nokia Lumia 630 uses a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 (MSM8226) processor. It is based on the ARM Cortex A7 architecture, equipped with an integrated Adreno 305 graphics adapter and runs at a clock speed of 1.2 GHz. A similar processor can be found in devices such as ASUS Padfone E and Padfone Mini, Sony Xperia M2, Samsung GALAXY S4 mini and Motorola Moto G. The amount of RAM is 512 megabytes. The smartphone is equipped with an eight-gigabyte flash drive.

All these interesting facts about the insides of the Nokia Lumia 630 mean absolutely nothing. This device is a perfect illustration of the fact that judging smartphones by their hardware is not the smartest thing in the world. Their performance is influenced by too many factors that do not fit well into primitive tables with technical characteristics.

In order not to go far, let's take another smartphone from the same manufacturer: Nokia X. This is the same cheap device Nokia, which can still be compared with the Lumia 630. Its hardware is weaker in all formal respects, but it is impossible to notice this with the naked eye. It doesn't slow down or make the user wait.

Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about the Lumia 630. When switching tasks, this device pauses for a few seconds every now and then. And “several” in this case does not mean “one or two,” but rather “five to ten.” Running simple system applications may drag on even more. It's annoying.

The device's lithium-ion battery, according to the same stupid tables, has a capacity of 1830 mAh. This is another meaningless figure, from which it is impossible to understand how long the smartphone will last without recharging. In order to find out, you need to look not at the characteristics, but at this screenshot.

The Nokia Lumia 630 phone entered the market back in 2014. The price of the new product was about 8 thousand rubles; of course, the company planned to sell it at a higher price, but Android smartphones of the same level were much cheaper, and the company had no choice but to reduce the cost of the device to a reasonable price. This model is called MoneyPenny internally, which means good value price quality.Looking at the functionality of the Nokia Lumia 630, we can assume that this is a budget device with inexpensive components, but Windows Phone has a very smooth work with the hardware, delivering good performance and you can be sure of this; the absence of phone brakes causes only pleasant impressions.

An additional panel is included in the packageblack, as they say for every day. The model was created for fans of Windows Phone, the device shows the advantages of the updated operating system, in addition, there is a two-SIM device Lumia 630 Dual SIM, which is a huge plus for Windows Phone. The phone has a youthful design and offers colorful interchangeable panels. The device entered the market in five color solutions: orange, yellow, green, black and white. Of course, a bright gadget attracts the attention of others. Back cover Nokia Lumia 630 phone Made of polycarbonate, the lid is reliable and you don’t have to worry about its appearance over time. It is not painted, it is the original color of the plastic. The phone does not play or stick together; there is a feeling of reliability after use. The size of the device is 129.5x66.7x9.2 mm, weight 134 grams. Thanks to the back cover, the phone fits perfectly in the hand and creates a pleasant tactile sensation.

On the right side of the phone Nokia Lumia 630 we see the device's on/off key and a paired volume key. The manufacturer has made 3 screen brightness modes (low, medium, high) without any fine tuning. At the top end there is a minijack connector for a headset, and at the bottom end there is a microUSB connector. Slots for microSD cards and SIM cards can be seen under back cover next to the battery. The screen of the device is 4.5 inches on an IPS matrix with a resolution of 854x480 pixels. ClearBlack technology is used here to increase brightness in the sun and the screen becomes more readable. The display is covered with Gorilla Glass 3, protecting it from scratches. In addition to its 8 GB memory, the manufacturer offers 7 GB in OneDrive cloud to store your data. You also have the option of installing a microSD card up to 128 GB.

The Nokia Camera app is such a sly fox. Since the smartphone’s flash has gone under the knife, when shooting in a dark room, processing algorithms come into the fight to bring images into a more or less human appearance. As a result, the result is far from artistically beautiful, but if the purpose of the shooting was to preserve important information(in an unfamiliar city in a gloomy metro dungeon, photograph a map of unreadable stations or immortalize something else important. It will turn out like this (in original resolution), as in the gallery below. Moreover, in the first picture you can see in which dark corner the rest of the photographs were taken. In the following - the result of the work of the application and the camera.

Competitors and line neighbors

If in a segment expensive smartphones and in the middle price category Windows features Phone devices are not yet up to the task of becoming a truly worthy alternative to Android and iOS, but in the budget sector they have an excellent advantage in the form of a smooth interface, usually a decent camera, decent body materials and a screen with which any sun is not scary . In the case of the Nokia Lumia 630 Dual SIM, the advantages also include a slightly more thoughtful interface for working with two SIM cards, convenient integration of Skype with a screen protected by the magic of Gorilla 3. In the segment of Android smartphones, competitors of this model are the LG L70 and L90, which will be more expensive, but with a better display, Samsung Galaxy Win or Core and Lenovo S720, as well as a whole bunch of B-brand devices. Each of the solutions will have its own advantages; on the Android side there will be more applications from Google Play and a variety of forms and characteristics, on the Nokia side - fast work, an excellent case and the fact that it is not Android (among your friends there are probably people who find this OS unpleasant for aesthetic reasons).

Bottom line

Nokia Lumia 630 Dual SIM is one of the most interesting offers in its price category with support for two SIM cards. Even small improvements in Windows Phone 8.1 were a big breakthrough for the platform. Thus, in terms of comfort, the OS has practically reached the level of its competitors, despite the fact that there is still work to be done. Microsoft Nokia Lumia 630 Dual SIM gets several new ones useful applications, for example, for fitness or for managing SIM cards, searching for tickets and tracking news, as well as a more humane menu. From Nokia - an excellent camera, although lacking a flash, a number of branded applications for image processing, high performance, high-quality housing and screen. If you are not attached to any applications from Google Play, for which there are no alternatives in the Marketplace, and the model suits you in terms of price and capabilities, then I recommend choosing this one. However, it does have a serious drawback - the lack of a front camera. If you like to communicate with loved ones using video calls with mobile device, then with this smartphone you will have to forget about the habit. It will also not be the best companion for those who like to take pictures in the dark. Otherwise, the device looks very appetizing for the money.
