Microsoft has updated the low-end 630 with LTE connectivity and a larger price tag to match.
In June this year, the Nokia Lumia 630 was released — a small, cheap, Windows 8.1 handset of the type that the company has managed to sell in decent numbers. Not long after, the 635 appeared — another small, cheap Windows 8.1 handset. The difference? £30 and 4G connectivity.
What helped Windows Phone build its (still small) market share was this device's predecessor, the 520. At a reasonable £130, the 635 handset is certain to appeal to the bunch of buyers looking for full-fat smartphone experience without the equivalent price tag.
One obvious way to keep costs down is with the screen size. At 4.5 inches, it's at the smaller end of the smartphone spectrum, and with 854x480 resolution and FGWA, it's not the sharpest you'll find at this price point, but decent enough. Put next to the 930's Full HD 1920 x 1080 screen, for example, it stands up surprisingly well.
