Lumia 720 or Lumia 630?

[2uiam]

The screen of my Lumia 720 cracked. Should I spend 150,00 to have it repaired or buy the Lumia 630 for 133,50 euro?

Why fix your old technology when you can get the newer cheaper and it's far superior?

I would fix the 720 because the 630 is NOT far superior.

sure, benchmarks are better, but what do you give up?
You give up the better battery of the 720.
the far superior camera with flash! the front facing camera!
The option for Qi wireless charging!
a superior display! with Glance, double-tap-to-wake, and the sensors the 630 doesn't have!
etc
etc

Thanks for the replies. In the end I bought the 630. And I am glad I did.

The performance is much better, I have hardly any resuming time. The difference in speed is quite noticeable. Eg with Skype, which I need for my work. Price was only 129 euro.

Battery seems to be doing well too.

I hardly ever used glance, double-tap-to-wake, the flash and front facing camera on my 720.

Edit: I will return the phone tomorrow. Battery doesn't last long enough and I want a better display.
