By now the new Family member of the Lumias seems to be on everybody's lips but is it good enough to be remembered tomorrow?
With reduced specs compared to ist older brothers, the Lumia 620 could drive users into compromises in the future (within 2 years since this is the current lifetime cycle of a smartphone) for example not being able to install certain Software or updates that are crippling the device (iphone). Even Microsoft says that future features may not be available on devices with less than 1GB of RAM. On top of that Windows Phone is a quite young platform that is still evolving and growing and maybe not even Microsoft can tell where it will be in the future especially hardware-wise. On the other hand Nokia proved that it can deliver software updates on low end phones like the lumia 610 without rendering them unusable, quite the opposite, they make them even more feature rich and smooth.
What do you think? Is the Lumia 620 worth buying for a 2 year lifetime cycle or should people opt out for a 720 which has (probably) 1GB of RAM?
