Nokia Lumia 630/635 – Specs, Price, Features and Launch 

Following the success of the highest selling Windows Phone, the Nokia Lumia 520, the Nokia Lumia 630 and 635 are two budget oriented phones that bring the best of Windows Phone 8.1 at an affordable price point. This budget friendly duo is notable for quite a few things. First of all, the Lumia 630 is the first 3G dual SIM Windows Phone, and will introduce Windows Phone 8.1′s dual SIM handling capabilities. It will let you designate separate tiles and colors for calls/messages/emails from each SIM, and even lets you designate which contacts should use which SIM. Secondly, the duo introduces SensorCore, a low power motion sensor that helps in fitness tracking, integrated with the Bing Health and Fitness App. Thirdly, these will be the first two phones to feature onscreen buttons instead of hardware buttons. Other highlights include a ClearBlack screen, expandable storage, changeable covers, and the addition of LTE on the Lumia 635. The only difference between the two is their network capabilities, while the Lumia 630 is 3G only and comes in a dual SIM variant, the Lumia 635 includes 4G LTE connectivity but no dual SIM. These phones are expected to be launched in May, first in emerging markets like India, China, Brazil and the like, and will carry the following pricetags:

• Lumia 630 Single SIM (3G): $159
• Lumia 630 Dual SIM (3G): $169
• Lumia 635 Single SIM (4G LTE): $189
