If you opt for a green Lumia 630, you'll get green matching buttons for volume and power on the sides. The 630 casing is made from plastic and has a nice matte finish. However, maximum screen brightness is respectable at 396 cd/m2. We also noticed uneven backlighting, most prominent at the top of the screen when you use a white background for the menus. There's no auto brightness sensor and adjusting in the OS only allows three settings: Low, Medium or High rather than a slider scale. It's got a basic 854 x 480 resolution so means images and pictures are not as pin sharp as budget rivals like the Moto G (1,280 x 720).ĭon't expect the Lumia 630 to compete with 500 plus premium devices such as the iPhone 5s (1,136 x 640) or Galaxy S5 (1,080 x 1,920) when it comes to the screen technology either. But is the sub-100 hardware the weak link?Ī number of compromises have to be made to hit the budget price point with the 4.5in IPS display the most prominent casualty. This brings a number of crucial features like a notification panel, enhanced keyboard and more MDM policies. The Lumia 630 is the first smartphone to ship with Microsoft's Windows Phone 8.1 software.
