Lumia 535 or 630?

[SeoMonster]

Hi everybody,
I'm looking for a new phone and I can't decide between the Lumia 630 and the Lumia 535.
My main use is email, web browsing, whatsapp, youtube, etc.

I know the 630 has less RAM, but the processor is better than the 535's.
So, for a daily use, which only should I pick?

Thank you!

That's a really tough decision. L630 has better screen (the ClearBlack tech), but smaller. L535 may have slower processor but 1GB of RAM gives better multitasking.

I have both, if you dont need the front camera and the flash go for 630. Amazing device, very fast and no touch screen issues like the 535.
The 535 would have been a great phone if it didnt have the multitouch bugs..

Aren't those bugs issued with the update that's seeding for L535?

What about multitasking? I've read someone saying Internet Explorer closes on 630 if you try to access a heavyweight webpage.

630 is a pretty good device but the 512mb ram era, is simply fade away.
It will often crash when browsing (throw you out of the browser for no reason) and
doesn't have an oleophobic coating on the display, meaning your fingers won't slide easily on it and it will collect grease all of the time.
On the other hand 535 has poor touch (inaccurate and buggy), poor display quality and the CPU is nowhere near as good as the one in 630/730/830.

If you want to buy something that you won't have any problem and you won't regret overtime, get a lumia 730/735.
It has great display, great performance and great battery life, so you can't go wrong buying it!

Not all of them, the multitouch bug is still there.

Yes thats true, 535 is way better in multitasking. I havent seen a single resuming screen yet.

I agree with Alfa Kapa, 730 is great choice, but I guess you can't afford that one, but I'll still go for 535. Yes, there are some touchscreen issues, but MS sent an update that solves the problem.

Unfortunately it only slightly improves the touch response. The issue is far from solved.
