Pros
- Windows Phone OS
- Good amount of Internal Memory
- 1.4 GHz processor
- Good quality primary camera
Cons
- No secondary camera
- Windows Phone OS has a very limited number of apps
- No provision of expanding memory storage
- With Windows OS, one cannot transfer files via Bluetooth
In this era of Android smartphones, there are very few takers of Windows OS based smartphones. However, this phone can compete with any Android phone in its class. Here, the camera and processor have good specs, though, there is no secondary camera. However, one cannot expand the storage capacity of this phone with memory card. However, 8 GB is more than sufficient for many users. If one is a fan of classic Nokia phones and not much interested in Android Phones, one should definitely go for this phone, as, the peer Android phones do not have the specifications similar to this one. In the initial stage of this phone, there was an issue with the call ending and battery stand-by time. However, it’s been declared later that both of the issues have sorted out in the recent upgrades.
