The Nokia Lumia 620 comes powered by a dual core processor running on the Windows Phone 8 (WP8) OS with 512MB RAM over a 3.81 inch touchscreen. This is a powerful and the best smartphone with WP8 for under Rs. 15,000.
Lumia 620 Box pack
It’s a small box that houses the Nokia handset, user guide, 1300 mAh battery, travel charger, micro USB to USB cable and earphone of a very good quality. You also get some special offers from Airtel and FCbarcelona calling. Sar value is 0.84 W/Kg.
Design and Display
The Nokia 620 is not that slim, it’s 11mm thick and the weight is 127 grams. There are 3 touch navigation buttons on the front side. The screen is with clearblack technology and the display is clearly visible even under direct sunlight. The rear side is matt finish, you can choose from many colours like White, Cyan, Magenta, Black, Yellow etc. You need to hold the case and push the camera Lens away to remove the back cover.
The display screen is 3.81 inches supporting 800×480 pixels resolution with 16M colours. Multi touch is supported and there are magnetic, light, accelerometer and proximity sensors. The viewing angle is really good, the picture is sharp, the touch is smooth and responsive.
Processor and Performance
The Lumia 620 is powered by Qualcomm Krait Dual core processor clocked at 1.0GHz coupled with Adreno 305 GPU. The performance is butter smooth and there is also access to the store to download additional apps and games.
Memory, Storage and OS
The RAM of 512MB is more than sufficient to run the WP8 OS over the dual core processor. Add to it there is an internal storage space of 8GB and micro SD slot for adding max 64GB additional storage cards. Of the 8GB space about 2.52GB is used.
Camera of 5MP resolution
The 5MP auto focus camera quality is good there is a dedicated camera button that works just like on compact / SLR cameras. You press the button a little and it will focus and then press it all the way down to capture the shot.
The interface is simple and easy to use with minimal settings. There are various modes like panorama, smart shoot, Bing vision and Cinemagraph, plus option to find and download more lenses. There is built in LED flash and the camera can record videos in 720p (HD) resolution at 29fps. There is also a secondary camera. I have not checked if the handset can play full HD (1080p) videos but I doubt it will. If you own the Lumia 620 let me know if you can play full HD videos.
Connectivity
The handset supports 3G (21Mbps HSDPA), 2G (EDGE/ GPRS), there is built in IE 10 browser, micro USB port, Wi-Fi with hotspot, micro USB port, GPS with A-GPS / GLONASS that works with Nokia Maps, Bluetooth 3.0, NFC and Single micro SIM support.
Others / Games
The loudspeaker / in call sound is loud and clear. For gaming there are some pre installed options like the Angry birds but you need to download the data. You can also connect your Xbox account with this handset.
Battery
The 1300mAh battery gives a standby time of 330 hours and talktime is over 8 hours to 14 hours depending on the network. For moderate users the handset will easily last for a full 24 hours on a single charge.
Nokia Lumia 620 Review
If you are a Nokia fan and/or a fan of the Windows Mobile operating system, this is the best you can get for the price. The display quality is excellent, the camera is pretty good, the performance is buttery smooth and price just right.

Nokia Lumia 928 Specs Leaked: Release Date Set For June Or July this year and nokia lumia 877 may cum wid 41mp camera in end of 2013
I had purchased it a week ago for indiatimes, and must say its great buy.
Few things are bothering me.. First is frequent memory full during web browsing, even on UCWeb browser. Can we get operamini to work on it?? Second thing is its call quality it not par with my old nokia N8, and during calling the sound listen by me is quite harsh like my chinese mobile. Is this problem felt by me or its quality is not upto mark??
Bought this phone 6 days back from flipkart .
The phone looks cool & the display is wonderful , easy to hold in your hand.
It performs very smooth & the camera quality is good . The call quality is exceptional with good speakers .
Hi gogi, i have heard that temple run in on compatible on lumia 620 bcoz of only 512mb ram while i used to run that on spice mi 425 on 256mb ram……..
Can u confirm whether it is able to run that ?
Does wp8 lacks in terms of apps? I really like wp but want apps and games, is lumia 520 a better option?
gogi sir, can we make a androide phone into windows theme look?
Thats wrong.Nokia did right.Your opinion relates that its biased towards android.Samsung already had a good market share and they are best at making android phones after nexus devices.There was on chance for nokia,also nokia is a different,what they do differentiate them from others.So,windows was a smart choice,you see now there is no chance for samsung in windows.
And as far as i know,iphones and nokias are the only phone that don’t use android.
grave digger if you know A LOT of people HATE SAMSUNG due to the plastic feel and a lot of other things so if Samsung stays out of WINDOWS territory it a lot better they should be happy with the free things available like the Android OS. so Samsung Stay out.
P.S:I love android, love Nokia, Love Windows HATE Samsung
P.S.S: The day Nokia and android come together will be the best day in history
I will buy an Android from Nokia even if they sell it for 60K+
NOKIA ROCKS!!!!!!!!!
I agree 100 percent. Nokia should change asha phones from s40 to android.
Nice to hear that Mr. YashKhatri, but the reason Nokia didnt get into android was based on its false assumptions of android being a crap market and little did it know that this market would open to such wonderful competitive environment where the end user (we the customers) would get what we want without having to brag for money (how iphones and windows loot).
It would have been nice had Nokia joined in, but good for them they ended up losing a big market.
If you can buy 60k+ phone, then its your choice and no one can question it 🙂 but we middle class people have enough choices to enjoy all features in our simple yet budget friendly devices all thanks to android and samsung and indian mobile companies.
Its more like win-win situation for you and me 🙂
Dude, it seems that u r die heart fan of Nokia, Reality is Nokia is almost out from the race of smartphones and Samsung is on Top, another mobile company which is now second largest mobile company in India is Micromax. Windows mobiles has lot of limitations and hence not widely accepted by users… Even Nokia Asha series phones are totally flopped. Nokia can only make come back if they get android OS otherwise they have to satisfied themselves what they have right….POOR NOKIA…
wait for just 1 year nokia will made a strong comeback…
Do agree. Nokia is the best mobile brand in the world
dear gogi.several sites and user reviews are reporting that lumia 620 or any wp8 phone can not stream video content.withouth video streaming,half the charm of a smartphone is gone.please verify it gogi

Hi I have not checked that but you probably might want to install some app. Also on the site they have mentioned “YouTube browsing and video streaming”. I believe there will be youtube support and without it the phone will.. you already mentioned it..
Hi, i bought this phone. It has same issue of not able to stream youtube video when connected to wifi network :(:(
On 3g connection it is able to play streaming video
don’t know what’s the issue 🙁
Lol,who said?
It supports youtube video streaming very well.People don’t know anything about wp8 here and make a fool of themselves.My god i can’t stop laughing. XD
grave digger.you may lol as much you wish.but wp8 has no app for youtube.marketplace offers only a youtube site shortcut in the name of an app.metrotube was the only app for youtube.but as youtube belongs to google,google keeps changing their youtube api to discourage the use of nonandroid phones.if you still have your lol,please name a wp8 application for youtube which is application and not a youtube mobile site shortcut.can you name one please?
search for metrotube its awesome….
http://www.wpcentral.com/windows-phone-8-version-metrotube-now-available
+point of nokia wp8 handset is u’ll get awesome apps like here drive,nokia music….

and never blame windows its got lot of potential….
in future windows may combine windows and windows phone os…,
windows blue????
Agree 100%.
Hey gogi,
Is there wifi hotspot facility available in lumia 620 and also one important thing, i cannot understand xbox live games………
Shall i need to have xbox to play xbox games in windows phone ?
Yes there is option to share net connection (Wi-Fi hotspot – connect up to 8 devices).
Thx Gogi, please let me know what is xbox 360 live feature in nokia lumia 620 ?
What is the launch date of 720?
hey gogi;
Do we get interchangable covers free or to pay extra for that!please reply asap!
Not free but I guess you can get it for extra payment if you seen the video the whole cover gets separated so it is possible, not sure if Nokia will be giving that option but they should.
WP8 is awesome os. it doesnt need quad core cpu or octa cpu. it runs flawlessly on dual cores and 512 mb ram.nokia cameras are the best in the world and built quality is superior. facebook twitter runs live in wp8. NOKIA+WP8= AWESOME
620 is very good mobile and the graphice looks better than lumia 920
Awesome phone. If Nokia had gone with Android along with windows then nobody would have been able to touch Nokia. Even now if Nokia adopts android, Samsung’s and HTC’s would be biting the dust. Nokia’s hardware quality is just impeccable.
Its true ! Currently am using Nokia N73 its been around 5years am using it no issues and i never went service centre for ma phone ! Though I never change my battery too though its too week now but still my phone working awesome.
Can whatsapp run on this?
Yes there is the Whatsapp for windows phone.
THNKS I am a first time buyer of smart phone wht do suggest should i go for this or wait for 720 and waht is the differnce in resolution ?
The only real difference between Nokia lumia 620 and 720 is screen size and camera.
720 has bigger screen and improved new camera with an aperture of f/1.9 lenses and sensor size of 3,choice is yours.
And 720 is quite thinner at 9mm 🙂
an awesome fone….
Dear Gogi Bro
Serious query
which battery is much better between LION VS LITHIUM ?
i heard that lithium battery are dangerous and risky.
What?
Li-on itself is lithium-ion.
Maybe your asking for li-po which is lithium polymer battery.
Both are same but the difference is li-po is more power efficient and is mostly used by htc.Not a big deal though.Not risky at all for normal users.
Price should have been 10k.
Wait for Lumia 520…….same specs minus the front cam………
hello gogi,
see that image uploaded by umimobile

Congrats gogi
Nice phone
Gogi sir I heard that windows 8 has apps problem no good apps and games are available is that true?
No there are no issues, yes android has a lot more apps / games in their store as compared with WP store. But still are many apps, so its good to go.
Hi Gogi bro.. Can you please tell me some disadvantages of Windows OS over Android OS.
Well both are different OS, with totally different interface. But the number of android users are more as compared to windows phone. If your usage is limited to surfing, watching movies, music, navigation, phone call / sms etc, social network, photography and playing some games then it does not matter what you choose. Also note that since many users use google service (gmail, talk etc) you will need to install those apps on Windows phone.
Just a few limitations.
You don’t have a dedicated file manager on windows phone.Downloading not supported on ie 10.Games are over 100000 but still comes nowhere near that of ios and android.And if you are more likely to use google products better keep out of windows phone,because even google’s services are half baked for windows phone.For social,browsing and stuff wp is better.I’d rather pick wp8.
We can download UC browser, which can download and is a good browser. And There are google talk clients, google translate etc… available, wp8 has grown a lot!
If I had spare free 15 thousand hari pattis, I would have thrown on this as second companion as a windows phone next to a android.
The price – to most users – seems a bit more, but in the end it will satisfy when compared with a similarly priced Android phone in hardware, overall performance, and user satisfaction standpoint.
And of Windows OS, well some may love. I do but Android too.
So Lumia 620 is sweetly priced recipe with perfect icing on the cake.
gogi
what about umi x2?
any news? plz update us
How is the basic signal reception of the phone. Some reviewers say, it has got very good signal reception and some say very bad. So what is your experience. How much you rate this phone out of 5 interns of signal gain?
I am asking this question because i want to buy this phone if and only if it provides good signal reception. Please help…
Please give me a personal suggestion as I have Rs. 10 K to 12 K to spent in smartphone. Which phone should I choose ?? can I go for Galaxy S ?? Right choice or not.
not at all galaxy S at this point of time is worth only 4-5 K max with the hardware and software in it so I say you either buy lava xolo q800 or save some money by going for xolo A700 it’s twice better than galaxy S and half the price almost 8000 only you can get it for even cheaper rates if you find in markets
wheres the tiger cub bro
Ha ha, I will include it next time, every time.
Please include it without fail.it is really very cute.
You are also an Android fan….
hmmm.
Awesome phone better than canvas HD and it can play full HD videos without any lag, its a superb phone 🙂
play full-HD clips, and all formats including MOV and AVI were natively supported by the phone. And it has NFC too
Doesn’t make sense to compare l620 with mmx a116.,both r different OS. both has their own advantage and disadvantage.
Well frankly speaking the device native resolution is only 800 X 480, so 1920 X 1080(by HW) is still going to be downscaled(presumable by SW) to the native resolution. So the 1080p playback shouldn’t really be considered a feature for a phone that does not have a 1080p screen unless you have only 1080p clips and you don’t want to convert them to a lower resolution.
Gogi bro one spelling mistake it should be clearblack display and not clearback.
Thanks naynesh, corrected.
which has better camera?
this or canvas hd?
thnx
If you had 15000rs what would you prefer? this phone or canvas hd?
just asking your personal preference…
thnx
Aakash, I would go with Android (HD).
kool..:-)
wp8 obviously ! i dont give my money Chinese made junk with mtk processor . Samsung htc and sony really made junk in this price range ….
Dude, just see inside battery panel, Nokia smatphones are also made in China…
Hi Gogi…. U Haven’t Shown How Much Free Ram is Available as Well Processor and Gpu… as U always show in other devices…Thanx….
Sameer I got it for a limited time and did not get time to download the benchmark for the same.
why doesn’t any Indian Chinese brand go into budget sub 10 k phone with decent specs with windows phone OS installed
it not open source like android … need to enter so many licensing agreements to become microsoft window mobile partner …. its like a huge investment for these Chinese domestic …even big players like sonys not interested in wp8 .
Thank teja, in other words windows phone OS is not free.
lolz thanks guys and gogi sir personally i like the WP 8 OS it too good but android is the best. can any one tell me which of other OS ate free to use thanks in advance
Microsoft will end official software support for Windows Phone 8 and Windows Phone 7.8, in mid-2014. It will leave Nokia up the creek without a paddle.
By that time nokia lumia wp8 will be upgraded to wp9….
so your support will automatically expands…
no other company supports like nokia…
Nokia is awesome in service and support
Hi Yash, As per the MWC, media reports and Nokia India site, Lumia 520 & 720 will supposedly be launched in April first week, expected price 10 k for 520 & 18k for 720.
520 will have same specs as 620 but with a 4″ screen and same CPU & GPU minus front camera
also mention can it play full hd videos or not..
Gogi can u compare canvas hd ( android ) vs nokia 620 (windows) coz u have both f devices…specially show difference between android and windows os…gaming,navigation, easy of use, etc etc should be included…
hey gogi can u plz do the unboxing video of
Micromax funbook 3g and Karbonn a6 plz
Nice review…but forgot to mention that it can play 1080p video flawlessly by default.
Aditya, It can play 720p videos but have not tested if it can play 1080p videos.
I’ve tested 1080p video playback on my cousin l620…and i was stunned to see that it was smooth like butter. Although hardware is capable to handle 1080p video but i had doubt due to low(480p) regulation…but nokia and ms has done great job…hats off nokia…keep it up.
Great 1080p at what FPS?
Sorry i had not noticed fps, but 2morrow i’ll update after checking it.
hello gogi sir, plz tel me can i play games on this windows phone. like all games racing and action
Gogi,
When will Nokia Lumia 720 launch in India and at what price. Do you know what are its features?
Sahil…720 expected to hit store in April and price would be around 20k.
