The Nokia Lumia 630, Lumia 635 and Lumia 930 - first impressions

class=”textContent lead”>

Nokia has used the Build 2014 conference to showcase three new smartphones running Windows Phone 8.1. The point, of course, the flagship Lumia 930 and Lumia 630 affordable Lumia 635 and I had the opportunity to see how they appear to live. read more

When Nokia set on a Microsoft system, it was easy to hear the murmur of discontent. Many people have seen to this point proven Android – a platform with a wide hinterland services and applications. Since then, events have passed a lot of time, and we all managed to forget that the Finns could ever produce smartphones with the system other than Windows Phone. The balance of nature was, however, effectively disrupted as appeared on the horizon spectrum smartphone – Nokia based on the Android platform.

Spell crumbled as quickly as it appeared. Nokia X runs on Android, but it has been completely modified and completely cut off from Google services. This means that – apart from the possibility of using applications written for Google software – the lack of any similarity to the systems present in devices from Samsung, HTC, Sony and LG.


appearance and performance

Nokia X looks a bit like a thicker and slightly more angular Lumia 520 Maybe it lacks finesse, but definitely not ugly – especially in color covers. The front panel fills the screen, rather broad frame and touch the system “back”. On the top edge is the headphone jack and volume control on the right and the “power”.

Finns are trying to make their equipment was the best performance possible. It is no different in the case of model X. The entire smartphone is embedded in a housing made of thick and opaque plastic, which effectively builds scratches and greasy fingerprints. Both elements are folded exactly what makes a compact and robust design.


Specification

a beginner, because it sent him your Nokia smartphone with Android in the first place pay attention to the display. 4-inch IPS panel presents itself properly – both in terms of brightness and color reproduction. If we add to this a decent resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, this effect should be satisfactory. Slightly more negatively response to touch – screen does not respond excessively quickly, and sometimes not at all, “notes” issued commands. This topic definitely do better cheap Lumie.Podobnie is the battery. Cell with a capacity of 1500 mAh need to load every day, so more than lumia 520 (1430 mAh). Improved optimization software would certainly improve the situation.

Under the hood we find a smartphone dual-core Qualcomm MSM8225 Snapdragon S4 Play aided by the Adreno 203 GPU and 512 MB of RAM. This would have given specification can cope with well-optimized Windows Phone, but unfortunately it is not able to meet the demands of a modified Android. This can be seen quite ponderous operation of the system – for example, scrolling icons on the home screen – especially if you are on the widgets.

Camera is another weak point of the test smartphone. The pictures are devoid of detail, and the colors pale. Do not forget, however, that the matrix has 3 Mpix and the smartphone represents virtually the lowest price ceiling.


Software

Nokia X is running Android 4.1, but Android in the Android is like a cure. The manufacturer has put a great deal of work to modify the system and align it to the Windows Phone’a. Worse, absolutely resigned from Google services (mail, maps or store Play) and replaced them with their own counterparts. This means that we have a Google Account for Nokia X what any other and is only used to set up the mailbox. If you are on another smartphone with Android happened to us to buy any app or sync your contacts with your account wyszukiwarkowego giant, it’s certainly not we use them on Nokia X.

There are free maps for it here Maps and the Nokia Store with selected applications. Subject additional software, however, is complex and it is worth devoting a few sentences. Well, in theory smartphone Nokia X should run most applications written for Android. To them you need to copy the installation files to a memory card and start using the file manager. This manner of working, which we checked out a few games. Nokia does not guarantee compatibility with any application, but as a consolation ensure that the adaptation of existing programs to the system model X developers should take up the day job.

 Test HTC One M8 - metal work of art

perfect smartphone certainly does not yet exist, but HTC One M8 closer to that name than any other Android device. There are many indications that the Taiwanese competition once again showed how it should be designed with high-end equipment. In the following test, I … read more

Software Nokia X even visually resembles Android. Thanks to the home screen icons that resemble Windows’ tiled, far closer to a mobile system from Microsoft. There is not even three characteristic system keys. In Nokia X the role of only one – the “back”. With its help, you can undo an action, run the Fastlane, which is a list of recently closed applications combined with notifications from Facebook and go directly to the main screen. Access to the application options get when you move your finger from the bottom to the top. The opposite movement is growing while the beam with several switches and a shortcut to the settings. If this component was not deprived of the notification, it is worthy to be called alive pulled out of Android.

Nokia attempted to maximum simplify their software. Turns out it’s pretty good, because the service smartphone does not cause problems and soon we know almost everything about him.


Summary

Nokia X will be sold primarily in markets emerging, where it counts the low price, two slots for SIM cards, and access to the most been pro. The theory is also a good option for people who are just getting started with smartphones. In fact, I find it hard to find a good reason why I should buy Nokia X for 490 z? instead Lumii 520 for 430 z?. Yes, thanks to X have access to the applications of Android, but the Lumia beating her on the head on the screen, software, equipment, fluidity and speed and battery life. And those who need to use a dual SIM smartphone, I recommend to wait for the Lumia 630 – even better equipped and operating under the control of the great Windows Phone’a 8.1.
