Not googles you can download a square area. “Here” is not an F ing name! Is there some translation issue where it doesn’t sound something stupid in Finnish? Oh, one aspect about it that’s great, you can download maps for entire regions or countries. It’s a real challenger to google maps but for the love of god, change its name to Nokia maps. The horribly named “Here Maps” is really not bad at all.
#NOKIA LUMIA 635 REVIEWS MANUAL#
Like most budget phones, it didn't handle low-light well and the auto white balance could sometimes be a little off - but you can tweak the settings in manual mode.Nokia apps, they really need to get a mention as there is a bunch of them and they are all pretty good. On the back of the phone is a 5-megapixel camera, which I found capable of capturing adequate, although hardly outstanding photos. Overall, the phone performed well for voice calls, but since call quality depends on network, location, and many other factors, you might experience different results. Even with the microphone held closely to our mouths, voices sounded far away and flat. The speakerphone on the Lumia 635 didn't work well in testing. The Lumia 635 also did well outdoors, blocking a significant amount of background noise from traffic and even heavy construction so that our partner could here us easily. On our end, the call sounded clear and natural, without much distortion. On calls to a landline and a cell phone, our main testing partner noted that voices sounded clear, but had a bit of an echo. We tested the call quality for the Lumia 635 on T-Mobile's network in San Francisco. While network strength varies by city, keep in mind that the Lumia 635's Category 3 LTE modem is going to be less capable than the Category 4 modem we see in other phones.Īccording to FCC tests, T-Mobile's Lumia 635 has a digital SAR of 0.61 watt/kilogram. The diagnostic results were low and slow, between 2 and 9Mbps down and 5-9Mbps up. We tested the Lumia 635 in San Francisco using T-Mobile's LTE network. I found it every bit as adequate as its sibling, providing swift and responsive navigation, and fast camera launch times - it even handled some gaming. The phone has a 1.2GHz quad-core processor stuffed inside - again, the same as you'll get on the 630. If you keep the brightness down and use the phone more cautiously, you should be able to get through a day. Still, it's a very demanding test and the screen was on max brightness the whole time. It seems that 4G radio has taken its toll. By comparison, the Lumia 630 had dropped to 73 percent after 2 hours of video looping and 32 percent after 5 hours.

Indeed, on my drain test, the 635's battery level had dropped from full to only 36 percent remaining after three hours of streaming Netflix with the screen on full. The Lumia 635 has the same 1,830mAh battery as the 630, but with its more demanding 4G LTE radio, I wasn't expecting to see as good battery life.
#NOKIA LUMIA 635 REVIEWS SOFTWARE#
Nokia has loaded some of its own software on board, including its Here Drive app, which gives turn-by-turn GPS satellite navigation, Here Transit, which provides local information about public transport, including live departures, and Nokia MixRadio, which lets you listen to curated music playlists for free.
#NOKIA LUMIA 635 REVIEWS WINDOWS#
If you're into mobile gaming and checking out the latest app store releases, Windows Phone will not suit. Big names like Netflix, Spotify and Skype are present, but it nearly always receives new apps long after iOS or Android. Its downside is that the app store is still quite poorly stocked. It's fun to use and isn't too difficult to get to grips with either - Windows Phone is a good platform for smartphone beginners. The 635 runs the latest Windows Phone 8.1 software, made up of colourful live tiles scattered on a scrolling home screen. If you want to get the most from your Netflix shows, consider opting for a higher resolution display. It's quite bright too and has decent colours. Text and images aren't quite as sharp, but it's perfectly adequate for tweeting and Facebook stalking. The 4.5-inch screen has an 854x480-pixel resolution, which is less than you'd find on the Moto G. It has 8GB of storage as standard, but there's a microSD card slot for you to keep your music, photos and videos on. The plastic is sturdy and easily capable of taking a few knocks and bumps, while the toughened Gorilla Glass 3 will prevent the glass front from getting too many scratches from keys in your pocket.
