What are the reviews of the Nokia Lumia 730?
Its been a week since I am using this Awesome phone, at the price tag of Rs. 15200 (in retail market you may get it in Rs. 14500) this phone may bring shame to 20-22k phone in terms of build quality, performance and obviously camera.The new Denim update is too good, very stable. No other camera app can match the new Lumia Camera app on this device. There is seldom any lag in games. Display is crisp, clear and vibrant.The only drawback which people say about windows phone is app support, but that is not a problem as all the popular and worthy apps are now at the Windows Store, and in real world no one uses those nonsense 'cartoonify' and similar which android users boast of. Apps from Microsoft Corporation are very good.The Live Image from Lumia Camera comes as a bonus which you cant resist loving. the speaker on this phone is powerful. The Lumia Selfie app is as good as the Lumia Camera. The wide angle front camera can give any other phone's secondary camera a run for its money. Battery backup is pretty descent as well.
Why has Nokia released Lumia 720 with only 512 MB of RAM?
So, that people buy 820 or 920 who want more RAM. Also, as far as apps in WP8 go, it is quite different to how RAM is distributed for apps in Android. WP8 has proved a much better performer even on lower RAMs. Also, there are a few apps on MarketPlace which are limited to 1GB RAM phones. Even amongst those, most developers are making an optimized version for 512 MB. For eg: Asphalt 7 Heat, Nokia Xpress Browser, etc. Again, if you are a moderate gamer, 720 should be able to easily fulfill your needs. But, if you are a heavy gamer, then you would have to shell out more money!
What is it like to use a Nokia Lumia smart phone?
I was Android user before trust Windows Phone as my beloved partner. Back then in 2012, Android was not as good as today. In Gingerbread to Jelly Bean, I have to prepare for random freeze, restart, or just closed app. My first Android device is Samsung Galaxy Young. Yes, it's a low-end device. I enjoy it so much since it was my first time with touchscreen device which looks promising. I blame the low-end device for all troubles I had with Android. So, I tried to solve my problem at that time by buying a higher end device. It's Samsung Galaxy Note N7000. First Note generation which I adore for its good screen, S-pen, and many other breakthrough features. Unfortunately, it didn't solve the problem. Even in that device, I still experienced lags, force-closed app, and random freeze. Meanwhile, my work demanded me to have trustful connection - I had to quickly respond emails and messages as part of my work as translator.Then I tried something new. I bought a Nokia Lumia 820. I read some good review about Windows Phone. I also trust Nokia as a company which always produce reliable devices. I was pleasantly surprise since this new device really fulfilled my needs. It's smooth and reliable. It feels nice in hand, so trendy with catchy colors. I never missed any email, Skype message, or phone calls from my clients since I used the device. Live Tiles is cool and I use it optimally to make my work more productive. As conclusion, if you don't care about some trends (like playing Clash of Clans, flirting with Snapchat, or singing with Smule - Yes, the app gap really exists), this is a nice device. It's reliable. I love how the excellent camera give me confidence to take photos. I love how people see me different in a neighborhood dominated by Android and BlackBerry (Yup. BlackBerry is still king in my region).Currently, I use Lumia 1020 as my daily driver, although I also have some other Lumias. My family also use Nokia Lumia and they love it.
Is it worth it to buy a Lumia 535 or should I go for an Android phone?
EDIT: Now that Lumia 640 has launched I suggest you go for that one instead.Let me lay it down for you.The pros1. A smooth running phone:Windows phones run smoother than their similar spec Android siblings. No ifs and buts here. And even after prolonged usage it doesn't feel laggy. Most problems are solved by a soft reset- just restart the phone.2. A phone that won't feel old after a year of use:Microsoft are still providing updates to all the Lumia WP8 devices, even promising Windows 10. Windows phone 8 launched in October 2012-nearly two years and a half ago. For comparison Nexus 4 launched at the same time. And it is the only android phone getting updates from that time.3. Simple interface:Obviously you won't get the exact same experience as android. But, people who say that WP is hard to use have either never used it or never given it a chance.4. Start screen:Some hate it some love it, but the fact is- It gives great glancable info. Most of the times you won't even need to open the app to find what you need.5. Great online user communityGo to http://www.windowcentral.com. Virtually every WP query you have can be answered here.But there are some problems1. The app storyThere is no snapchat, the official instagram app has not been updated for ages and most big-name apps simply don't have the same level of functionality or just don't look as good as their android and iOS counterparts. Some games are also missing.But, there is a silver lining. As Windows 10's nears its release, with one app that can run on phones and PCs- the platform is starting to look a better place to develop apps for.And there are some great third party alternatives to the official apps- 6tag for instagram is one example.2. The touchscreenWith the Lumia 535 the touchscreen is not responsive enough. This is firmware issue and can be fixed with updates- no word on that yet though.It all comes down to what YOU are looking for in the phone.
Windows 10 will have Google Apps. Should I buy a Lumia phone?
Even if google apps were integrated or not. Its very good to buy Lumia Phones.Because the amount of security that it provides is lot more when compared to android.Live Tiles is one best feature that it have.Mostly, the speed. Although it used 512MB or 1 GB of ram, it is very fast and it wont stuck at any point of time which shows how it is built. But even with 2GB of ram most android phones strucks alot with the apps that it has.The recent study said that even if you hardreboot the phone our data in the phone is not lost in android. (which will be a big exploit).Android's Factory Reset Doesn't Delete Everything. Here's How to Really Wipe Your DataEven google apps were included in windows, it will be an added advantage to buy Lumia.
I am thinking about buying a Lumia 535. Is it good to shift from Android to Windows? Are Windows Phones easy to use?
Previously, was also going to buy the Lumia 535. But, after extensive reviewing on the net and watching numerous reviews on YouTube, I found out that :Pro's :- Great price at INR 7000.- 5MP cameras, both in the rear & front. Though, the front one has impressed a lot more of people.- Battery is a 1905 mAh battery, which can power the phone up until 1.5-2 days on moderate usage.- 5 inch display powered by a Snapdragon 200 processor, bundled with 1 GB of RAM.Con's :- Touch is less-sensitive & over time, the problem increases. Just google "Lumia 535 touch issue" or watch any review about 535 on YouTube, then u will have an idea.- In sunlight, the screen is hardly legible.- Screen resolution is less (qHD), but that's great for the price though.So I came to the conclusion that due to its continuing touch issue, I won't recommend this phone. Instead, go for the Lumia 640, which is priced at around INR 9000 & has a lot more features than 535 !
Is Nokia 2 good to buy?
No, i would not recommend you NOKIA 2 because of some reasons. Before telling you the reasons let's look at it's features.It has a 5 inch HD screen with a resolution of 720×1280 pixels.Comes with 1 GB of ram and 8 GB of internal storage which can be expanded upto 128 GB.Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon's 212 processor.Has a battery capacity of 4,000 mAh which can easily last you for a full working day.Runs on Android Nougot 7.1.1 with Stock Android experience and regular monthly security updates.Regarding cameras, it has a 8 MP rear and a 5 MP front.Only 3 basic sensors are there : Compass, Ambient Light Sensor and Accelerometer.My opinionThe cost of Nokia 2 is about Rs. 7,000 which is available online like in Amazon or Flipkart and in offline stores as well. The screen quality is really good considering the price point and that too runs on Stock Android with Nougot out of the box. Also, the battery capacity looks to be great. So seems reliable right. But no as it seems to be. It only has 1 GB of ram and 8 GB of internal storage with a very low quality processor that is Snapdragon's 212 which was released i think 3–4 years back. Nokia should understand that it's 2017, atleast they should have given 2 GB of ram and 16 GB of internal storage with Snapdragon's 430 or 410 processor. It's not that you are not getting options with these specifications. Look for Redmi 5A or Redmi 4 it has a much better specs compared to Nokia 2. So, don't waste your money purchasing this shit. It only has the brand value nothing else.Hope you got it. :-)
