Nokia, which we knew as a company where mobile phones first appeared, is now officially a branch of Microsoft. Nokia Lumia. 630 DUAL SIM Black (phone) is its first development after this transaction has been concluded, but it is obvious that the device was in the development stage for some time before the arrival of the new owner. Nevertheless, it is obvious that in many respects the new phone is different from the previous one, so, of course, his appearance is the beginning of something new.
WP Overview of Smartphone 630, 630 Dual SIM
This phone was the first WP smartphone to run the update released last year for WP 8.1. Actually, at the same time in 2014, Nokia introduced as many as three new smartphones under this updated platform - Nokia Lumia Dual SIM, 635. Discussion (with an emphasis on a "two-minute model) of their advantages and disadvantages and will be the main content of our review.
The manufacturer announced that the aforementioned updated OS will be available for the entire row of Lumia smartphones from the 8th Windows.
General for Nokia Lumia 630 and Nokia Lumia 630 Dual SIM Features include:
- 4.5-inch FWVGA (480x854 pixels) ClearBlack LCD display with 3 and pixel density 221PPI;
- CPU with a clock frequency of 1.2 GHz type Snapdragon 400 with four cores;
- RAM on 512 MB;
- ROM to 8 GB;
- 5 megapixel back chamber with autofocus;
- lack of anterior front camera
- 1830mAh battery.
- MicroSD extension cards up to 128 GB are also supported.
Models 635 and 630 will be supplied with WhatsApp, Wechat, Nokia Camera, Here Maps and pre-installed free Nokia Mixradio. They also have the function of low-power sensorcore sensing, intended for the "next generation of exercises and exploration applications", such as Bing Health and Fitness.
Appearance and user sensations
Nokia seems to be able to come up with dozens of variations on the same topic: colorful polycarbonate cases, black front panel, all buttons on one side and simple lines, but different shapes and curves. External Nokia Lumia 630 Dual SIM characteristics are no exception, although this time the form is more flat and block than usual. This is a pure rectangle with the sides that narrow to the back, which makes it easy to keep it in the palm. The back cover discovers slightly.
Smartphone Nokia Lumia 630 Dual Sim Black with 2 SIM cards is shown in the photo below.
On the front surface of the housing is empty, except for the Nokia logo at the top, the navigation provides on-screen buttons. Power switch and are on the right edge, but there is no camera turning button, also controlled by the on-screen button. The left edge is completely empty, and from above and below there is only a headset connector and micro-USB ports. The back side is almost completely empty, there is only a camera lens and a round hole of the speaker, in addition to the small Nokia logo in the center.
A few words about packaging and additional devices
Phones Nokia Lumia 630 Dual Sim, prices, reviews whose characteristics are the subject of our attention, go on sale in the company (which is quite natural) packaging. As for the boxes in which telephones are packs, it should be noted that in Nokia (this applies to all Microsoft devices) switched to a smooth white design instead of block blue rectangles that we saw with each Lumia that have been produced so far. Moreover, the model 630 is not supplied with a headset or even a USB cable. The charger has a fixed wire with a Micro-USB fork, and we really need to wonder how much money the company will save, not equipping the standard charger with a removable USB cord.
Nokia Lumia 630 Dual SIM - Description
Characteristics of this model are primarily determined by a fairly powerful processor, which is the faithful Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 with an integrated Adreno-305 graphics. However, there is only 512 MB of RAM, which is a significant step backward compared with 1 GB in a cheaper model 525.
According to other manufacturers lately, Nokia used a special processor to enter the sensor, which allows you to turn off the power and extend the life of the battery. Sensorcore, as it is called, is associated with Bing Health and the Fitness application, which can act as a pedometer and activity tracker. If we consider the actual Nokia Lumia 630 Dual SIM characteristics, then the presence of this option will not be for the model 630 a big advantage, since it clearly has modern sensors. Devices are higher than a high class, such as the following model 930, will use it much more efficiently.
And what in the 630th model with memory and screen?
You get only 8 GB ROM, which is somewhat compensated by support for microSD cards up to 128 GB (at least, so approves the manufacturer). 4.5 inches diagonally, but has a humble resolution of 480x854 pixels. This is definitely the lowest pixel density that we have seen for a long time. We can say about the Nokia Lumia 630 Dual SIM, the technical characteristics of the screen of which are not ideal that the market expected from its appearance more. The accuracy of color reproduction is also not impressive, as well as small viewing angles. It does not annoy the graininess, but the text in applications and on websites reminds us that it was customary to consider high quality ten years ago.
The screen is proportional to a bit more than Lumia 525, and its permission is very slight more than 16: 9, which is quite good, because a little vertical space is lost under the on-screen buttons (which are almost constantly visible).
Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support is up to date, and there is also GPS. The only sensor seems to be an accelerometer - no even to help customize the brightness of the screen automatically. That's all the main Nokia Lumia 630 Dual SIM characteristics. This model has a somewhat unbalanced list of functions - it exceeds in some parties other phones in their price range.
Software
The biggest highlight is, of course, a rather significant update of the OS from Microsoft, with a large number of improvements, large and small. For example, a new version of the intelligent voice assistant. "Twigs" work for all practical purposes, but this is not such a feature to separate it separately.
Another noticeable change in the Nokia Lumia 630 Dual SIM software characteristics is adding, finally, shadow notifications that Microsoft called Action Center. Just like in Android and iOS, you can stretch down from the upper part of the screen the lining that displays the notifications with which you have not had anyway. When you pull down the Action Center shadow, you will see advanced information about your notifications in the form of "icons", such as the battery level in percent. There are also four convenient labels: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, camera and brightness, and you can change them on other options, but not more than four.
The brightness control manual, since the model 630 does not automatically adjust it, and the chamber shortcut releases somewhat replenishes the absence of the corresponding physical button. Of course, I would like to be more shortcuts, but it can only be done through the web application of the OS setup.
What gives the 630th "two-time"?
Nokia Lumia 630 Dual Mobile Phone, whose characteristics we consider will be the first Dual-SIM windows background, has several unique strokes in this regard. To begin with, there are two different types of applications - telephone and "Messages", which is a very strange and confusing circumstance that potentially impedely master the device. Icons for each SIM card are only slightly different in color (and the first set is transparent if you use the new background photo option). You will deal with a separate list of history and mailboxesAlthough the list of contacts remained common, and you can send a message or call from another SIM card and even from its other applications. This can help keep workers and personal connections separately, but not everyone likes this approach.
On some new WP smartphone applications
Nokia Lumia 630 Dual SIM phone, whose characteristics we consider, has several new applications and settings. Thus, the Battery Saver option does exactly what reflects its name, and allows you to check which of the applications led to the greatest battery charge consumption. Data Sense allows users to identify data utilization limits, and Wi-Fi Sense is a unique tool that can automatically sign you in password protected Wi-Fi Points Access that your friends used in the past. Another tool called Storage Sense allows you to manage applications, cleaning "caches" and the distribution of user data between internal memory and microSD card. The existing settings for the keyboard currently allow you to drag the finger between the letters, working in the so-called. SWYPE-style. Skype and OneDrive are deeper integrated, and Internet Explorer. Received several internal improvements.
Have you been preserved in the 630th model the usual problems of WP smartphones?
While a lot common problems They were eliminated, Windows-phones are still characterized by their own unique problems. Buttons on the screen are visible even when playing video on full ScreenThe "Back" button behaves illogical, and the Marketplace platform still works not so effectively as Google Play or IOS app store.
Model 630 comes with a set of additional functions known as Lumia Cyan, which includes an extended set of photo applications. There are also other features of Nokia: Here Maps, Here Drive + and Nokia Mixradio. Surprisingly, a very, very useful option Glance Screen, which in other models Lumia allows you to see notifications when the screen is turned off, has been removed.
Lumia 630 comes with a large number of third-party applications as well: BOXTV, EVERNOTE, Facebook, Flipkart E-books, Gameloft Gamehub, Line, Paytm and Zomato.
Camera
Nokia has always equipped its phones in many cameras for cameras, and this time we have CinemaGraph, Creative Studio and Glam Me for different effects, ranging from animation. Functions in Nokia Camera applications include shutter speed control and manual focus, and you have quick access to ISO and white balance settings.
Microsoft in its operating system Windows Phone Provides users much less freedom than, such as Google in Android. If you can install one of the "green robot" from the branded application store to turn everything from the legs on your head, then it will not work with WP. Therefore, every major update - and it is also the first to be the first for WP8 - perceived with a special interest and trepidation.
We will tell about all innovations in the appropriate section, in the meantime, we will concentrate on the first smartphone that Windows Phone 8.1 is installed. So, Nokia Lumia 630 is a typical inexpensive "windphone" from the famous Finnish company. Its official price is 7,990 rubles per version with one SIM card and 8,490 per "two-minute".
⇡ Appearance and ergonomics
If the author of this material tie the eyes and give a few smartphones into the hands, among which one will be from Nokia - to find out to the touch will be completely simple. Lumia 630 is made in the same style as other modern devices of the company: the case is made of matte polycarbonate, and among the color solutions there are traditional bright options for Lumia. IN this case This is orange and yellow. For restrained style adherents, white and black version are provided.
Nokia Lumia 630 - Various color solutions On the official photo
In terms of ergonomics, some minor changes occurred. Perhaps the most noticeable of them is that the three standard hardware keys on the front panel - "back", "menu" and "search" - have become sensory and moved to the display. All Facial Smartphone Panel Covered protective glass Corning Gorilla Glass. 3, successfully protecting the display from the appearance of scratches and other damage.
Nokia Lumia 630 - Facial Panel
Location of hardware keys and connectors standard. The on / lock button and the volume control keys are on the right end. The only thing that should be noted is: in Lumia 630 there is no camera button - for the first time in the entire history of the devices on WP8. The universal audio jack is put on the upper face, and the Micro-USB interface is on the bottom. Left end is empty.

Nokia Lumia 630 - Side
The back panel matte, due to this, the device reliably lies in the hand and does not strive to slip out of it. The polycarbonate lid leaves pleasant tactile sensations. The "back" from the device is removable, under it is a battery with a capacity of 6.8 W · h (1830 mA · h, 3.7 V), as well as connectors for microSD and two micro-SIM. The possibilities of hot replacement "flash drives" is not provided - with installed battery It is simply physically not able to remove from the connector.
Nokia Lumia 630 without rear cover
Nokia Lumia 630 is very compact. For a person who is accustomed to five-day smartphones, a gadget with a 4.5-inch screen diagonal looks somewhat unusual. It is very convenient to use it with one hand. Weighs smartphone 135 grams - a little, hands do not get tired even with long-term communication with the device. The thickness of the case is 9.2 millimeters, Nokia designers, as usual, decided not to chase supernas competitors. And can not polycarbonate smartphone be very thin.
Nokia Lumia 630 - Rear Panel
We have no major claims to build quality, except when checking the stiffness of the body to twist and break on the screen, color divorces appeared on the screen. Obviously, the matrix is \u200b\u200bnot protected very well - with a smartphone worth being careful.

There are many advantages over the smartphones of the middle class with the Android operating system. The first smartphone with Windows Phone 8.1, sold in Russia, has become Nokia Lumia 630.
The Nokia Lumia 630 case is made of polycarbonate. Smartphone is produced in several colors: yellow, green, white, orange, black. But at the beginning of sales in Russia will not be available not all, but only white, orange and yellow, but in the kit it will be a black panel. Judging by a large number of model coloring, it can be said that the company is counting on large sales of Lumia 630.
The overall design concept remained the same - the apparatus was beveled corners, the entire front side is covered with solid glass, the phone has small sizes and weight, and it is comfortable lies in his hand. The quality of the materials used in the housing, in a favorable side differs from Chinese and Korean smartphones.
At the end of the phone there are buttons for adjusting the volume, camera button and screen lock. At the top of the phone there is an audio connector, and in the bottom connector for connecting microUSB.
For the quality of communication to this smartphone, as well as all the devices of Nokia, there are no complaints. The speaker is quite loud, so the interlocutor is heard well, there is a noise suppression function
Performance and software
The Nokia Lumia 630 has a 4-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor with a tire frequency of each 1.2 GHz. ADRENO 305 is used as a graphic accelerator. There are no complaints to the speed of operation, the system works quickly.
Unfortunately, only 512 MB of RAM is installed in the smartphone, so some games with high system requirements They will not go on it. But there are not very much such games, so this deficiency is not so significant. Included memory in the 8 GB apparatus, which can be increased by installing the card microSd memory. This model supports working with two SIM cards. There are all the familiar data transfer options in the phone: Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi and GPS.
Screen
After creating a smartphone Lumia 625, with a display of 4.7 inches, Nokia decided to return to the traditional size for middle-class smartphones. The Lumia 630 smartphone uses a 4.5-inch diagonal display, with a resolution of 854 x 480. Despite the not very high display resolution, the image quality displayed on it is quite high-quality. The display has large viewing angles and its image is clearly visible on the bright sun. The polarization layer ClearBlack allows you to make a picture of saturated juicy colors. Coloring can be configured to your taste, although the palette, which is initially configured, is quite normal and does not particularly need any settings.
Camera
The camera used in Nokia Lumia 630 is absolutely common with a resolution of 5 megapixel. But at the same time, it is not poorly configured by software, which allows you to take pictures with good clarity and color reproduction. To control the camera in the phone used nokia applications Camera, which allows manual mode Configure all shooting parameters. Several examples of the photo.
Battery
The capacity of the battery installed in the smartphone is 1830 mAh. With medium loads, it is enough for approximately 1-1.5 days of work without recharging. When playing video in 720 HD format, the phone is able to work for about five hours.
Conclusion
We can safely say that by releasing this model, Nokia has made a significant step forward. Because before that, telephones on Android and iOS operating systems were very strong competition, but since the Lumia 630 is installed Windows Phone 8.1, then this model will definitely find a large number of buyers.
Choosing a smartphone, buyers certainly pay attention to the most different technical characteristics of the gadget. One of the important factors at the same time is the operating system that is installed on the gadget and with which it has to be constantly dealing. The choice may fall on Apple iPhone. Or Google Android, and in addition, on Microsoft Windows Phone. Most buyers are confident that only the first two operating systems are the main competitors. The last - Microsoft Windows Phone - they are simply not taken into account. And in vain. Windows Phone devices are a great combination of quality that has touch screen, strength of the case materials, operating system functionality, as well as processor performance. That is why Nokia Lumia WP devices, which have relatively recently changed their name on Microsoft Lumia, deserve special attention to potential users.
The advantage of new models
After the WP OS released its new version of 8.1, Nokia phones have many advantages over Android-smartphones related to the middle class. After all, WP 8.1 supports two SIM cards, background pictures located on "live" tiles, a notification center and other useful features. An ordinary buyer of Windows-smartphones seem much more familiar and friendly. At the same time, users please the high working speed of models, multimedia, a wonderful implementation of the camera, as well as the company's branded software company with its music and offline navigation maps.
Previously, Windows Phone provides users with insufficient freedom. It was much smaller than, for example, in Google, which uses Android. The latter allows, installing only one "Ponchon", located in the brand store of updates, change literally everything. WP this user did not allow this to the user, so that a large update of WP 8 was perceived by buyers with special trepidation and interest. And for the first time this version appeared in the Nokia Lumia 630 Dual SIM smartphone. This is an inexpensive model from the famous Finnish company. The price of the Nokia Lumia 630 Dual SIM is at the level of 7990 rubles for a version that has one SIM card, and 8490 rubles for the one in which two SIMICs are planned.
This smartphone is interesting to many users. He is the first gadget with the version of the Mobile Windows Phone 8.1, proposed by Microsoft. As a rule, such serious transformations begin their way with high-class devices. However, this time it was the budget and modest Nokia Lumia 630 Dual SIM for the new version of the platform. And this is quite explained. If the new OS behaves well on a modest apparatus, then on the flagship it will be simply great.
Familiarity with the world of Lumia
The Nokia Lumia 630 Dual SIM review convincingly proves that in this gadget there are several points at once, which are notpic for Windows Phone. First, it is supported by two SIM cards at once, which was mentioned above, and the touchscreen screen keyboard. Nokia Dumia 630 Dual SIM is quite good.
It does not provide for the presence of a USB cable and headset, but there is a shift panel. In a box, in which the phone is located, you can find another instruction, battery and charging. Nokia Lumia 630 Dual SIM case in the bundle of the gadget is not provided.
And the main notableness of this model is, of course, expected by many buyers of Windows Phone 8.1. Consider the characteristics of Nokia Lumia 630 Dual SIM Read more.
Housing
Reviews about Nokia Lumia 630 Dual SIM confirm the fact that the manufacturer has a standard design for this gadget characteristic of the Lumia line. In addition, the housing of this smartphone is a durable design capable of withstanding even random drops from height. In addition, the Nokia Lumia 630 Dual SIM smartphone has a pleasant variety of colors, which highlights it against the background of other models. This is due to the removable, easily replaceable rear panel.
The matte cover of the housing, the material of which serves as polycarbonate, the manufacturer has released in orange and black, yellow and green, as well as in white.
Cross-shaped rear panel reaches front borders. The latter, completely black, is not protected by oleophobic coating, and therefore fingerprints are well noticeable on it. Of course, this is not entirely convenient. However, it is worth remembering that the price of Nokia Lumia 630 Dual SIM allows you to attribute a smartphone to a budget class.
One of the positive points is the presence of protective glass Gorilla Glass on the front part of the gadget. This is a fairly durable material of the 3rd generation.
The only visible elements on the housing are the microphone and speaker.
The Nokia Lumia 630 Dual SIM gadget housing has several beveled side sides. It provides him with additional convenience in hand. Rear on the housing are speaker and camera. On the right side, the buttons can enable and turn off the machine, as well as adjust its volume. At the top of the device, the manufacturer posted a connector, the size of which is 3.5 millimeters. At the bottom of the panel there is a microUSB output.
Under the lid, you can detect a syllable for two different SIM cards or microSD, which is capable of maintaining cards up to 128 GB. They become accessible only after the rechargeable battery will be removed from the gadget.
The facial panel of the device was divided among themselves big display, Three touch buttons, a slot of a conversational speaker, as well as a miniature output of the built-in microphone. Pleases the owners of the gadgets of this model and their beautiful ergonomics. It allows you to make a comfortable long and continuous work with a tube. The user's hand is capable without special efforts Made to any touch or hardware button.
Externally, this model from Nokia is very similar to other smartphones included in the line of the same name. According to the reviews of the owners of these gadgets, the devices possess good quality assembly. First of all, it is reflected in the dense fit of the materials. At the same time, due to the special form of the lid, the body of the apparatus is performed almost monolithic. And this is despite the fact that the problems arising with budget smartphones relate to the quality of the assembly. But from users of this model, no negative reviews do not come to this account. Of course, from its budgetary characteristics of Nokia Lumia 630 Dual SIM it is difficult to break away, but they are all compensated by excellent production quality.
Among the serious flaws notes the absence special buttons For shooting. It is a mandatory attribute of only Lumia smartphones. In addition, in the model under consideration, the user will not see the hardware buttons under the screen. They are replaced with virtual.
Screen
If you consider the characteristics of the Nokia Lumia 630 Dual SIM, then among them it is worth noting the following: the gadget is equipped with a 4.5-inch display, the pixel density of which is 218 PPI. Similar characteristics for the budget smartphone are quite good. Its screen is wonderful under the dazzling rays of the sun. This is possible thanks to the use of Clearblack branded technology protecting from glare.
Some features of Nokia Lumia 630 Dual SIM are typical for this line. In particular, there is an item in the Gadget menu that allows you to increase or decrease the color security, as well as several correct color temperatures (if necessary). By the way, such a function is very clearly unreasonable. Due to this, color management is possible only when oriented to several images appearing on the screen. This process Very pleasant. It is simple even for the most unprepared users.
In connection with the budget variant of the smartphone, it does not have a lighting sensor. Setting up Nokia Lumia 630 Dual SIM on brightness is made thanks to three pre-installed modes - high, medium and low. The first one is the most optimal in the daytime clock on the street. The average mode is recommended for rooms, and low is used in the dark.
According to user reviews, the most pleasant impression performs the quality of the display, expressed in its maximum corners of the review and responsiveness of the sensor. This compensates for several pale colors compared to the benchmark, which is not possible due to the smaller SRGB space.
Hardware
Studied nokia instruction Lumia 630 Dual SIM does not bear any unexpected moments. And there are two reasons for it. First of all, the characteristics of the gadget fully correspond to its value. The second reason lies in the absence of the need for powerful hardware for windows work Phone. However, despite its modest parameters for today's standards, this smartphone into two SIM cards copes with the daily tasks entrusted to it much better than some serious models with Android. And this is a big plus of Windows Phone, which is celebrated by many users.
CPU
The Nokia Lumia 630 Dual SIM smartphone is the first state employee, which provides for the use of a 4-nuclear processor. It is SNAPDRAGON 400 Qualcomm MSM8926, which is made according to the 28-nm technical process and is equipped with Cortex-A7 cores. Such a solution is very common for segments of inexpensive gadgets in the Android world.
RAM
Its in the Smartphone Lumia 630 is only 512 MB. Despite such a small volume, the gadget interface works smoothly. In addition, Temple Run 2 is perfectly launched and installing about ten applications included in the Utensil Kit.
Nokia Lumia 630 Dual SIM distinguishes a slowness characteristic for state employees. It is thus open, and then all available applications are closed. The mode "for patient" is provided when the camera is working. However, users who kept the most advanced Android smartphones in their hands, note that they have a feeling that this employee conducts operations faster. The inexpensive apparatus on its naughty surpasses the Android Dualsim located in the same price category, equipped with the same 4.5-inch display. Of course, users no complaints have no complaints to the speed of applications. Not only the camera is not happy. Its start is delayed for 4-5 seconds, which does not allow you to make a quick snapshot.
Speaker
It is located in the back of Lumia 630. Users fully suits his work. The speaker plays loudly and gives a pleasant sound. The bell is heard even on a busy street.
Battery
Some negative reviews about the Lumia 630 smartphone relate to the heating of its housing, which is noted under load and when charging. What manufacturer is provided in Nokia Lumia 630 Dual SIM battery? This is a battery, the capacity of which is 1830 mAh.
According to the manufacturer, it is capable of ensuring the performance of the gadget for 16 hours when conducting conversations or 648 hours while standby. Judging by the reviews of users, they are confident that the phone charging is quite enough for the day of work. At the same time, 30% of the battery capacity goes to 2-hour video viewing.
SIM card work
What is attractive for Nokia Lumia 630 Dual SIM users? As mentioned above, this is a smartphone into two SIM cards. At the same time, both of them are active. However, only one slot is supported by 3G.
In general, the system was very convenient. For those who want to work with the first SIM card, you will need to open the phone application. It is fixed behind the same card. Here are your contacts and list of calls.
According to the quality of communication and its reception at the owners of smartphones, no complaints arise. The model provides for the presence of one radio module, so that the presence of a second SIM card has no effect during operation. However, the company was able to implement a unique scheme. It lies in the fact that the second SIM card is actively active in the case when there is a call on the main card. This became possible thanks to the use of X-DIVERT technology.
Camera
With good lighting conditions, the smartphone allows you to get quite high-quality pictures that are suitable for sharing in social networks. The Lumia 630 gadget camera has a resolution of 5 megapixel. However, it is bad that she has no flash. None in the smartphone and stabilization.
As for the video, his smartphone records with a maximum resolution of 720 p. The results of the filming, although not impressive, are good enough.
Sometimes the image is obtained too dark. However, the applications available in the smartphone are able to correct the situation. With their help, you can adjust the exposure, white balance, the velocity of the diaphragm, etc.
Nokia is widely known in the fact that in its gadgets pays special attention to photographs. Confirm this - the presence of two applications for pictures. One of them is Nokia Camera. With it, you can add the above manual settings. The second application is Nokia Creative Studio. With it, the user can decorate ready-made frames, while doing emphasis on the color chosen.
Application of new OS
There is no doubt that the development of Windows Phone 8.1 is the best product for mobile phones Nokia lately. In this model, users can work with folders and navigate the notifications panel. Pleases them and the presence of an assistant. All this was a significant step, which allowed users to continue to maintain loyalty to smartphones produced by Nokia, in which WP was used.
What innovations are present in this update? Nokia Lumia 630 Dual SIM has such important items:
Illuminated screen;
- quickly launch cameras;
- Wi-Fi;
- rapid access to all settings;
- Bluetooth.
And this is all in addition to the reports of the most recent events in the gadget. Of course, each of the functions described above in the notification panel could be sent before. However, it was done only if the user would be designed in the form of a "live" tile, which fell to the desktop. Here are just searching the right file In this, a considerable chaos sometimes took considerable time. Nokia Lumia 630 Dual SIM provides the ability to see required file. In the area of \u200b\u200bthe screen, which is deprived of unnecessary paints. And it is much easier and more convenient.
Especially relevant in this model is the presence of a point with the name "Camera". After all, as mentioned above, the individual key to start this application does not exist.
WP 8 provides the user with the ability to change existing list necessary for him useful features. As a result, only those applications that are interested in the owner of the smartphone can be located in the notifications menu.
Another advantage of the new OS is the presence of a Cortana assistant. It can be called by pressing and subsequent retention on the front panel of the search key. This assistant perfectly understands Russian words. At the same time, it is capable of, even with varying success, to recognize human speech. The difference from Google in this case is only that Cortana is still not able to politely remind the user when he leaves the party to not be late for the last bus. However, those who work in the development of Windows Phone are still ahead.
Another feature of the new version of the OS is the lack of ability to go to any of the accounts available without installing the correct time and the date. Without it, it is impossible to even send photos to Onerdive. But in this case, the developers can be forgiven. They still have a fairly big job aimed at the guidance of order in new smartphones. It concerns this and too long settings menu, where literally in multiple items are hiding the screen installation, as well as instructions for opening the player equalizer, which contradict the logic to the user.
However, today, in the almost bottomless settings, the user is able to find SWYPE support. She will need him for the keyboard. In addition, WP8 offers to use a data meter capable of limiting mobile traffic and automatically connect to the available Wi-Fi-network available in the availability zone. Allows this OS carry out and a VPN connection. The search for the necessary functions is significantly increased due to the lack of logic in the menu system. Users noted that each time they have to doubt the presence of a particular application. More comfortable menu possess later versions. In this regard, some smartphone owners are set to Nokia Lumia 630 Dual Sim Windows 10.
Despite the fact that the gadget in question belongs to the budget category, it has the Drive + application installed, which allows you to work for a navigator.
According to user reviews, Nokia Lumia 630 Dual SIM has a huge number preset applications. Sometimes it becomes just amazing how they are able to fit in memory of the smartphone, which is only 8 GB. The bulk of the developed applications belongs to Nokia. Among them are cartographic, as well as the PHOTOBEAMER projector, Nokia Mixradio, Ringtonemaker, Studio and others. There are in the model and familiar to the user of the Yandex application, such as the "Metro", "Electrics", "Search". The gadget provides the ability to read and download books using the pre-installed service "Litres".
WP8 allows the host smartphone to enjoy different useful applications, among which "health and fitness". It can carry out consuming and spent calories, as well as sporting results.
Firmware
Sometimes there is a need to restore normal work phone It happens with the Nokia Lumia 630 Dual SIM. The firmware in this case is the only option, and you can make it without contacting private craftsmen or to a service center.
What to do in cases where the smartphone stopped responding to commands, does not turn on, periodically freezes, does not find a network, not updated, etc.? To begin with, you can simply try to restart it and reset the settings. In extreme cases, you will need to reflash it using the official windows utilities Device. Recovery Tool.. The firmware "Lumia 630", as a rule, does not cause special difficulties even in not very experienced users.
From time to time "from under the pen" Nokia, or rather Microsoft, there are devices with amazing technical characteristics, such as Nokia Lumia 1020. They see the efforts of the manufacturer to attract attention to the devices with Windows Phone, not only to the software component, but also to the hardware. The recognizable design of the Nokia Lumia series and brave coloring options playing its role: often it becomes a determining factor when buying.
Microsoft does not stop and in the development of the Windows Phone mobile OS. It does not yet boast an equally enormous software ecosystem, like more popular platforms (Android and iOS), but ensures the decent stability of the work and the smoothness of the interface. And these are already arguments for those users who are satisfied with the most common and popular applications.
In our hands, a smartphone was hit, which, in addition to the most obvious advantage (support of two SIM-cards), has even other, not yet studied: Windows Phone 8.1 operating system. This is the latest version of the OS and this is the first smartphone based on it. Acquaintance with Nokia Lumia 630 Dual SIM We will start with technical characteristics, and software innovations will analyze in the appropriate section.

Supply and equipment
Nokia Lumia 630 Dual SIM is supplied in a dense cardboard package with high-quality printing. It is almost square, therefore it stands out from a number of traditional rectangular corporate packaging. The retractable design was already familiar with its feature: to see the smartphone itself and the rest of the contents of the box, you need to pull it out its inner part.
The facial part of the packaging demonstrates the device in three color variations: green, orange and yellow.
The reverse side of the box is more informative: the name of the smartphone is indicated, the equipment (battery, charger and manual), the manufacturer and the family of the processor used. In addition, we are reminded of used OS and branded software (Nokia Here and Nokia Mixradio).
The box is quite familiar with: the Nokia AC-20 charger, the Nokia BL-5H battery and the user manual. Unfortunately, there is no cable for connecting to a PC and headset. And if standard headphones rarely differ from the outstanding sound quality, the USB ↔ Micro-USB cable can be called the necessary accessory. Instead, in the box you can find a replaceable rear panel of black color - this is a pleasant surprise.
Appearance, Design
The design of the novelty helps to unmistakably determine that we have a smartphone of the Nokia Lumia series. Rounded corners and beveled sidewalls of the back panel are felt in the hand more pleasant to some "angular" competitors. At the same time, there is a reliable grip due to the acute corner between the plastic rear and the edging side. According to the contour of the front panel, between glass and sidewalls, a small plastic insert is provided, but additional protection for glass (for example, when the smartphone lies with the display) it does not provide.
Black frames around the display. Pretty thin. The smartphone has a small size and weight for their diagonal: although it does not hit the records of lightness and sophistication, but felt in hand comfortably. You can control the graphical interface with one hand.
The front panel is covered with a protective glass of Corning Gorilla Glass 3 with a very good corporate anti-reflective filter ClearBlack, but without oleophobic (fat-repellent) coating. Therefore, the display constantly appears clearly visible fingerprints. The base of the body and the removable rear panel, in this case, bright yellow, are made of practical polycarbonate with a pleasant to the touch (the smallest roughness) matte coating. The main panel practically does not collect fingerprints, the black is a little more brand.
The removable back side of the Nokia Lumia 630 Dual SIM case is represented by a solid panel, which includes the side control buttons. For her removal, it is necessary to press on the protruding angles of the back panel from the front side, but to do this, due to small sideboards, is not very convenient, because the finger is very often clench.
The panel itself holds very well and reliably, besides there are no backlash, no gaps. This is partly achieved thanks to several seals pasted on the inner side of the panel. Its removal opens access to two Micro-SIM connectors, MicroSD card reader, as well as a removable battery. Downstairs she covers a fairly large main speaker.
On the right side panel there is a traditional volume adjustment rocker and the screen on / locking button. Left sidewall is made solid. Only there is only one 3.5 mm audio jack. Below, also in proud loneliness, the Micro-USB port settled.
The assembly of the smartphone is very good, exactly as the level of hardness of the case. The novelty does not bend and does not change its geometry with moderate twist. Only one nuance deserves attention in this case: at a pressure of glass, minor divorces are manifested, but not at the point of applying force, but along the sidewalls of the display.
On the screen itself only hollow dynamics and the Nokia logo. The front camera, an indicator of events and lighting sensors and approximation in the Nokia Lumia 630 Dual SIM is not.
There is no and familiar for devices with Windows Phone touch keys at the bottom of the front panel - now they are drawn on the screen, which has become possible due to the latest version of the OS - Windows Phone 8.1. However, their functionality remained the same: "Back" (when held - "Menu of running applications"), "Home" and "Search" (when held - "Voice Management" (in the English interface, the corporate assistant Cortana is launched, which appeared in WP 8.1 ))
In general, the smartphone is very convenient. Thanks to the small size, it goes well in his hand. The manufacturer also took care of the good ergonomics of the location of the side buttons for both the left and right hand. They are well defined and easily pressed, so they will be convenient for most users.
However, it will still have to get used to the novel. First of all, it concerns the touch buttons of the OS: they are unusual and quite compact, so the initial operation is a subconscious feeling that it was not possible to press the first time.
Display
The diagonal of the screen is 4.5 inches, which a few years ago was a very impressive value, however this moment This is a very typical indicator. But the resolution of 854 x 480 points is rather modest, although it is often found in low-cost smartphones. As a result, the pixel density is 217 ppi (dots per inch). The smoothing of the interface performs a good operating system, but in third-party applications, when surfing on the network, view photos and video, pixelization is already noticeable. This also applies to large fonts, but small things seem slightly blurred.
The rest of the display used is quite good: the IPS matrix has excellent viewing angles and has a pleasant color reproduction, albeit a bit displaced in the direction of warm shades. It is also characterized by good contrast, partly at the expense of Clearblack technology, making a black color deeper. In addition, there is no air layer between the matrix and protective glass, so that the picture looks more alive and glances.
A pretty good display of the display illumination, which is quickly adjustable only within three values: low, medium and high. But in the system settings, you can more accurately configure each of these values \u200b\u200bwithin relatively wide range (independent for each of the values). Nokia Lumia 630 Dual SIM does not have an illumination sensor, therefore, there is no automatic adjustment of the brightness of the backlight.
Also in the settings you can calibrate the screen. It is useful if the specific instance of the phone does not quite correctly displays colors.
The sensory substrate, as usual for smartphones with Windows Phone, processes up to 5 simultaneous clicks and offers an increased sensitivity mode, which is useful for working with a smartphone in not too thick gloves. However, the support already, it would seem traditional for Nokia Double-touch devices for unlocking.
The camera at the Nokia Lumia 630 Dual SIM is only one - the main one, which is pretty good (especially at the programmer) module with a resolution of 5 MP and the function of automatic focus. The sensor of the format ¼ inch is supplemented with optics with a diaphragm F / 2.4 and a constant focal length of 28 mm.
The camera's work provides branded by Nokia Camera.
In general, the photos are obtained rather pleasant both in color reproduction and on white balance. The sharpness is also very good, including in poor light conditions. Video recording is carried out only in 720p format and has quite good quality.

The external speaker work pleased: the sound is loud and pleasant in the entire frequency range, only the sound detailing is falling on the maximum volume. The quality of high and medium frequencies is very good, there is even a hint of a low-frequency range. The disadvantage, in fact, one: when the smartphone lies the screen up, then the speaker, the hole is on the back side, muffles. This is especially noticeable on soft tissue surfaces.
A pleasant impression left a conversational speaker. He moderately loud and provides a pleasant sound detail. However, this state of affairs is perceived as a dance for production under the Nokia brand.
User interface
As noted above, the Nokia Lumia 630 Dual SIM model has become the first smartphone with Windows Phone 8.1, and therefore we will pay great attention to updates and changes in this section.
The most notable innovation was the Cortana's voice assistant, passing now to refinement before the release of the final version. To work with it you need to install english and the English region in the OS settings. Also need active account Microsoft.
Cortana works not bad: it recognizes well (even sometimes incorrect interpretations occur) and has a nice voice, but while not so many functions and third-party requests are available (you will be spoken on the status of the beta version). Some requests give out funny answers, but usually it gives simple answers to one or two words. In some cases, it becomes more verbose and the whole process resembles more communication with a personal assistant. For example, when creating reminders, Cortana not only confirms the transition to the reminder mode, but also sets the necessary clarifying questions: "What exactly?", "What days to repeat?", "What days?". In general, there is potential, and it is very good, since even in such a state the assistant is more sociable than its Android-analogue.
The "Silent Hour" mode appeared. When it is activated, the phone does not give sound signals when new messages or calls arrive, and the answering machine features Cortana.
Now you can create folders on the main screen, assigning arbitrary names to them. It is very useful for ordering information.
On the main screen, another change appeared: you can now install photos as a background image. True, tiles not all applications are supported, so the result is very often quite interesting from a visual point of view. Added and the possibility of increasing the density of filling the main screen, which becomes useful on devices with a large diagonal.
Finally, it appeared separately controlling the volume of calls and multimedia. This was not enough in previous versions Windows Phone.
There is a more or less full-fledged center of notifications with fast settingscaused by brushing from the top of the screen down. The menu contains only for four positions, but the choice of specific items is performed by the owner itself from a fairly extensive list of available settings.
The keyboard, in fact, remained the same, but appeared support for the Word Flowless set mode (SWYPE analogue), which works quite well. In addition, there is no predictive input that simplifies the writing of the majority of standard words.
Starting from version 8.1, Windows Phone starts supporting virtual system buttons. There are even their settings for them. If the phone provides their physical analogs, then virtual buttons You can disable if you wish.
In addition to the listed, there is a corporate app for tracking health - "Health and Fitness". It allows you to keep records of consumption and consumption of calories and follow the sporty results. Moreover, sports are not limited to running, walking and cycling. In the list of activities that can be tracked, there are literally all kinds of sports to which GPS-trekking is applicable.
Hardware platform and performance
The Nokia Lumia 630 Dual SIM model is based on a fairly productive 4-nuclear processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 (MSM8926 model name). The maximum clock frequency is 1.2 GHz. It is built on the basis of the 28-nm microarchitecture ARM Cortex-A7 and is equipped with L2 cache 1 MB. Qualcomm Adreno 305 with a working clock frequency of 400 MHz is used as embedded graphics. This adapter provides support for OpenGL ES 3.0, OpenVG 1.1, OpenCl 1.2 and DirectX 9.0c.
The main minus of the hardware platform, in our opinion, is the amount of RAM, which is only 512 MB. Why Microsoft decided to save on the capacity of RAM, while setting a rather productive processor with a good graphics adapter, for us there was a mystery.
The volume of the built-in storage was 8 GB. To expand its expansion, the user has 7 GB of the ONEDRIVE cloud storage and the ability to install a microSD memory card with a capacity of up to 128 GB inclusive.
In general, the productivity of the smartphone is more than enough to perform almost all everyday tasks in the Windows Phone 8.1 environment. For example, ASPHALT 8: Airborne works without any complaints.
However, in the process of testing, one unpleasant moment was seen: the back side of the smartphone is quite heated. The temperature is not critical, but keeping the smartphone in the hands it becomes not entirely comfortable.
Communication and communication
Nokia Lumia 630 Dual SIM can boast two slots for installing SIM cards (MICRO-SIM standard). At the same time, the map in the SIM1 connector can only be installed after removing the battery, and for SIM2 slot this restriction is not provided. They work with one radio module in Smart Dual SIM mode and support 2G GSM and 3G WCDMA standards.
For high-speed information in the novelty, there are 802.11 B / G / N Wi-Fi modules (2.4 GHz) and Bluetooth 4.0 with A2DP support. Their work does not cause complaints: the compound is installed quickly, but during the entire test it remained very stable. Information download speed reaches 40 Mbps, and recoils - 20 Mbps (with general wired line 100 Mbps).
The GPS / GLONASS module (even the Chinese Beidou is supported), according to personal impressions, works without complaints. In the Nokia Here cards, the definition of the user's location occurs quite quickly.
Removable lithium-ion battery Nokia BL-5H relative to small capacity (1830 mA · h), but it is quite enough to safely provide smartphone Nokia. Lumia 630 Dual SIM day and a half operation at moderate load.
As a result of testing, viewing HD-video with half brightness of the display and included Wi-Fi modules and GPS discharged a battery in 9 hours and 16 minutes. In case of gaming application time autonomous work It is about 3-3.5 hours with 100% display brightness and Wi-Fi and GPS modules. In general, it is very good, especially in comparison with some Android devices with a similar battery container. Battery charging time is about 3 hours.
RESULTS
The smartphone will not be a revelation, if you look at its hardware characteristics. The combination of a quad-core processor and a small amount of RAM (512 MB) and may cause bewilderment at all. There are questions about the screen, which, with a rather large diagonal of 4.5 inches, has a modest resolution of 854 x 480 points. However, in practice, the interface of the operating system and most of the everyday applications work without a hitch, and the image on the screen looks high quality.
Therefore, the Nokia Lumia 630 Dual SIM model will clearly find its buyer. In addition, there is a whole category of users who are more important than a qualitatively assembled body, a good module of the main chamber, reliable operation of communication modules, the presence of two cards sim and a large, well-readable screen, rather than the record volume of RAM or the power of the 3D accelerator. And the catchy design will also become a plus in the piggy bank of this novelty.
We pleased with Windows Phone 8.1, which can boast of pleasant and necessary innovations, as well as the advanced features of personalization of their appearance. Not all applications of this OS need outstanding computing power, and not all users use such applications.
Additionally, the Nokia Lumia 630 Dual SIM is deprived of the Achilles Fifth of most powerful smartphones - the rapid discharge of the battery during active work.
The cost of the device in our market is about 2000 UAH. / $ 160, that, taking into account the novelty, it seems quite an adequate price tag.
