The Nokia Lumia 620 kicks off the year in fine style, offering one of the freshest and brightest looking entry-level smartphone looks around. Pushing innovation in design, Nokia created a smartphone with a dual-colour shell that is interchangeable.
It’s based around a 3.8-inch TFT display with 800 x 480-pixel resolution that comes with Nokia ClearBlack technology, so you’ll get a great user experience both indoors and out.
In terms of tech spec, the Nokia Lumia 620 measures 115.4 x 61.1 x 11.02mm and weighs in at a highly portable 127g. It runs on a 1GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor and is backed by 512MB of RAM. One of the most appealing features of the Nokia Lumia 620 has to be the wealth of colours that are on offer, from matt finishes such as yellow, white and cyan, to the dual-shot orange/yellow or lime green/yellow finishes that add a brand new level of personalisation.

Marko Ahtisaari, Nokia Executive Vice President of Design, introduced the Nokia Lumia 620 at the Le Web 2012 in Paris, France. He spoke about his admiration for Finish architect Alvar Aalto and the idea of ‘a gentler design to life’. This means focussing on the things people routinely do maybe 50 or 100 times a day and make them better, rather than focussing on things that don’t really matter.

Dialphone was the first phone reseller to give the Nokia Lumia 620 an unboxing and hands-on review.

This device runs the same version of Windows Phone as the high-end Lumia 920, something which is unlikely to occur with  platforms such as Android, and anyone looking to acquire a cut-price handsets running Google’s OS would be wise to consider Nokia’s new device.’

What really struck us about the design of the Nokia Lumia 620 is that while the 3.8-inch screen offers more space that that of the Nokia Lumia 800, the phone is actually smaller and more compact! The curved body of the shell gives it an amazing feel in the hand and everyone we’ve shown it to has commented on how good it feels resting in the palm of your hand.
