Good replacement for 620?

[Internaut]

Beloved employer rolled out smartphones to all employees, last year. The engineering staff were all given 620s. Functionally, the 620 is fine. It works as a business phone and uses Airwatch MDM to connect to the office. There's just one problem (and, for a business user, it's a kicker): the battery life is absolutely atrocious. Does the 630/635 improve significantly on this?

Nokia Lumia 630 - Full phone specifications

630 has Battery life Endurance rating 55h

620 has Battery life Endurance rating 36h

So there is an improvement.

Lumia 720 has good Batterylife as well.
1520 of course, but i guess it is too expensive / too big for you.

Thanks. I'm just after a cheap/reliable replacement for the corporate phone (and prefer WP for this purpose). It looks like a 63X would be perfect for this.

Ah, the battery life is understandable, the 620 has (I think) the smallest battery in the lineup.

Also worth noting that upgrading/sidegrading to the Lumia 720 or the 625 are also fine options with much larger battery packs.

Go for 720 if you want more juice.

As far as I know, size- and specs-wise, this is far closer to being a cheaper companion to the 720 than it is a cheaper successor to the 620.

Then again, I am getting this to replace the 620, so C'est la vie.

I've upgraded from 620 to 630 myself, and its absolutely fantastic. Just about everything is better. Bear in mind the following though;

- There is no advanced audio settings (i.e. equalizer);
- The 630 misses 2 sensors, proximity and ambient;
- I suggest using a lockscreen password because of the lacking proximity sensor;
- Screen is better (except it's a fingerprint magnet compared to 620);
- Battery is better.

That's about all I can think of. The screen really is nice though and can't see a difference in sharpness between 620 and 630.
