Do you feel that is an upgrade from Lumia 620? That is something a lot of people would want to know.Okay, it's time for my turn, then
I ended up buying this phone for ₱7600. That's roughly $174, and that's a shade of the official SRP at ₱7990.
That's the first thing that struck me. Nokia is selling this for just a few hundred pesos more than the 520.
Then, the box was finally shown, and its contents displayed in front of my eyes.
Well, I never really thought I'd see such a halfhearted effort from Nokia/Microsoft, from the box at least. (Side note: The charger that came with my 630 is rated at 750 mA. The charger that came with my 620 is rated at 1300 mA, and isn't fixed to boot!)
Well, it's good to know that the phone is always better than the box it came in.
First off, build quality. It feels impressive. That's all I have to say. If you've owned a Lumia, you know what to experience.
The difference in speed or stability between this and a 620 is rather negligible. That said, I could say this of all WP devices. The differences really boil down to how quick the animations are on your respective OS version.
Now, the battery is mind-boggling from the perspective of a 620 owner. What can down my 620's battery in four hours takes twice as long to do so on my 630. Mind-boggling, I say.
The screen is great, though mine apparently doesn't handle whites well. The software keys/buttons aren't as bad as they sound, as well.
Well, since I did own a 620, there are a lot of things I missed out on by buying this. I miss Glance, and Double-tap-to-wake, and those are some major feature we're dealing with.
While the phone is better than the box it came in, it resembles the box too much, though at the end of the day, it gets the job done.
It's an upgrade. However, I feel it was done halfheartedly. Had the 620 been a massive disappointment, or the 520 had not existed, this would've seemed like a great phone.Do you feel that is an upgrade from Lumia 620? That is something a lot of people would want to know.![]()

However, it feels fitting to compare this to the 625 instead. This is a much better version of the 625.
how the real life battery endurance when on dual sim? plan to get one for daily driver too, btw am also from pinas
So far it seems like a day and a half without problems. Maybe can be stretched to two full days. I use mails, phone of course, messaging and some browsing.
With my previous phone if I didn't use data at all battery life got up to three days.
Found these tips in a comment section of one WPC article. Try those..I also have the 630 DS, and it is difficult to get one full day out of the phone. It constantly gives me warnings about battery draining quickly, and yes, it reaches 20-30% around 5 pm (from 7 am unplugged). So while I am happy with the phone, I would not dare to say, that anything more that a day it is possible for me (with my usage pattern of course).
I have two questions to those who already bought Lumia 630 DS.
1. Can we type in landscape mode in text messaging?
2. Does Lumia 630 DS have live tiles?
