Second Nokia Lumia Windows Phone 8 arrives in Phl

MANILA, Philippines - The second and most affordable Windows Phone 8 smartphone, the Nokia Lumia 620, is now in the country. 

The much-awaited addition to the Nokia Lumia range offers a more fun, youthful appeal, and compact design.

The Nokia Lumia 620 comes with exchangeable shells that use a dual-shot color technique to deliver new color combinations. Dual shot adds a second layer of colored, transparent or translucent polycarbonate on top of a base layer to produce secondary color blends and depth effects. 

Like the Nokia Lumia 920 and the Nokia Lumia 820, the Nokia Lumia 620 boasts exclusive camera lenses that transform the creative power of its five-megapixel main camera and VGA front-facing camera.

Cinemagraph adds simple animations to still photographs, while Smart Shoot creates a single, perfect shot from multiple images, even removing unwanted objects from the picture.

Also new to the Nokia Lumia 620 is PhotoBeamer, a free app that makes it easy for photos from the smartphone’s camera roll to be shared instantly on any Internet connected screen by pointing the camera at the PhotoBeamer QR code.

The Nokia Lumia 620 also features the full suite of Nokia navigation applications, including Nokia Maps and Nokia Drive.

Hold up the Nokia Lumia 620 and the exclusive Nokia City Lens will instantly display information on the local surroundings overlaid onto buildings as seen through the camera viewfinder.

Aside from these exclusive experiences, users can get the most out of this new Nokia Lumia smartphone with Windows Phone 8. Do more with Microsoft Office, Xbox Live, 7GB SkyDrive cloud storage and surf the Web faster and safer with Internet Explorer 10.

Also enjoy customizable Live Tiles update direct from the Start Screen, People Hub that brings all personal contact information in a single location, and the Me Tile that allows people to check into their location, post an update, set chat status, and monitor notifications across Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter.

The suggested retail price of the Nokia Lumia 620 is P11,600. Make a statement in black, cyan, green, white and yellow.
