  • Whats app could not install

  • Whats app not working

  • My videos received on WhatsApp are not opening. Please guide.

  • Has anyone tried continuum on Lumia 638 by registry tweaks? If anyone has done please feel free to post the complete procedure for Lumia 638.I wasn't able to enable the interop tools customizable options on Lumia 638.

  • First change region to US, then install windows insider. Log in to insider app,proceed. You will be notified when win 10 is available. But purchase a portable charger before updating. After update your phone will b having max 3-4 hrs back up.

  • Jio 4g sim

  • I don't know why you are not getting update notification!! But I am using win 10 now. Its better than 8.1 very user friendly. But battery is draining in just 2-3 hrs. I recommend don't update if you're using your phone for calling purpose too. Phone is heating too much after the update. So think before you proceed!!

  • Hi, I have changed it to US but still not showing update for windows 10

  • without flashing Lumia with Chinese firmware you got Windows10 update?

  • Win 10 available for Lumia 638 officially..just change region to US. I am from India...I updated my phone to win 10 but the battery is draining so so fast...its draining from 100 to 0 in just 3 hrs...so think before you update.

  • You can do that in Cellular and SIM settings. Please refer to this article:

  • Yes, it does support 2300

  • Nokia lumia 638 supported 2300Mhz band?

  • it requires a 4g enabled sim card i guess...have you put any 4g sim except reliance jio ??

  • how to use 4g network on nokia lumia 638

  • All information (Flashing tutorial and Different firmware) are available at

  • With the Chinese Firmware, I got official Windows 10 upgrade.

  • how to flash using chinese firmware?? anyone help me plz...thanks in advance

  • you got official upgrade with Chinese or Indian firmware?

  • Sorry for my previous post. Got Windows 10 official update through "upgrade advisor" app. Thanks!

  • I flashed the Chinese firmware yesterday and can see the Equalizer and network changing options too! Only 4G and 3G available, NO 2G. However I am not seeing an update to Windows 10 yet. What needs to be done to get the update?

  • Thank you for the information. One more doubt. Do you see a 4G signal on this device after following this process? 3G and 4G net pack prices are same. So would I be able to see 4G signal or just 3G?

  • Yes Equilizer is available even after you upgrade to windows 10

  • English Yes No you cant change.. in first boot you can choose English language.. No you cant change network_type after you upgrade to windows 10. it will show just 3G but it stays in Edge. but when you have 3g data pack it will automatically switch to 3G.. after 3G data ends it comes down to Edge automatically...

  • Hi, When you flash the Chinese firmware 059W0P1 on Lumia 638, will you get to see English language or Chinese? What about network selection problem after I get the Windows 10 official update? Do I still cant select 2G/3G/4G manually in Windows 10 or you were talking about on Windows 8.1? Did you notice equalizer in this firmware?

  • Just flash your phone with 059W0P1 firmware.. download the firmware at lumiafirmware com

  • please Update phone plzzzzz

  • Please update my phone 📱 please please

  • 1.Lumia 638 India 059W853 didn't get the Denim Update hence no Windows 10 (Official OTA). Though you can get windows 10 via Windows insider app but we really miss the Firmware update that comes with Denim that includes Better battery backup better touch, Audio equalizer etc. So this method is useless.. 2. 059W7D8 is the another Product code for Lumia 638 India. and this has the latest Denim firmware. But we can't Install Windows 10 in any way in this Product code. So this is Waste.. If anybody just want Windows Phone 8.1 with Denim firmware on Lumia 638 India flash this firmware 059W7D8. 3.Here is my Fav Solution for Lumia 638 India for Windows 10. Just flash the China's Firmware 059W0P1 Which Has Denim firmware and it can officially upgradable to Windows 10 No Insider app required. But one small problem with this firmware you cant manually switch between 4G/3G/2G. it is automatic.. by default it will Show only 3G in SIM settings. It will switch to 3G or 4G when you have that active Data connection. like if I activate 3G Data then it will switch to 3G after the data ends it will come back to 2G that is Edge. Other than that Problem it working flawless.. and I am getting regular windows 10 updates as other windows 10 mobiles gets. Note : You have to download the English India Keyboard and English India Speech to enable Cortana after you upgrade to windows 10 in this China's Firmware. In this firmware you will get lot bloatware (China's useless apps) and we can easly uninstall them..

  • As far as Lumia 638 is concerned it is the worst phone launched by microsoft via online results without any kind of reception just to clear the stocks. So finally they forgot even launching this phone way back in December 2014. Microsoft doubt whether this phone exist. It is obvious that Lumia 638 is only upgradable to denim and windows 10 mobile only through windows insider program which contains a lot of bugs that could stop 638 functioning. But 638 still haven't got the official denim update yet. So no windows 10!! All windows 8 based phones got denim, but 638 was an exception as Microsoft didn't even bother to push the ota update.638 is one among a few window 8 based windows phones to qualify to run official windows 10 mobile. But Microsoft in India abandoned this phone. Due to lack of updates this phone started to degrade in terms of performance. Windows 10 Update for 638 is the only way to get rid of updates.638 users in India are screwed. This attitude of Microsoft makes me to regret for purchasing this phone. This 638 was sold with a promise that it is windows 10 upgradable, they even pulled out that webpage. On the contrary, 638 in other regions has got Ota windows 10 mobile official update in other countries except in India. No matter how many times we contact Microsoft they'll say "wait for sometime"which is ridiculous. Its because of their dodging skills and untrustworthy nature they struggle in the mobile world. Nokia did a way better job.

  • thanks buddy it worked

  • Just download #1tool app from store and you will get all shortcuts on your start screen

  • Lumia 638 is denim updatable I have just done this.......if you go to windows insider program app... Then your phone first update to Lumia denim if your running Lumia cyan... Then you will be able to update to windows 10

  • So bad I can't upgrade windows 10 other issues are very bad so next time I have been not buy any windows phone... 3rd party product..

  • Don't buy this phone. I just gave mine to service centre because mobile was dead. And Now they are saying that the Lumia 638 Model is not in service anymore so they are replacing my mobile with Lumia 630.

  • my phone cannot change to HSDPA only 3G

  • The 1GB RAM 638 will get Windows 10. When depends on the the phone operator/ country variant. Not all phones are getting the update at the same time too.

  • According to Microsoft website Lumia 638 it's Windows 10 compatible. Windows 10 mobile update is not available for Lumia 638 alone in India. When I enquired about this issue to Microsoft, they said that denim update will be launched officially for 638 and then only our phones can be updated to Windows 10. How long will it take to happen? No one knows.Microsoft India sucks because of unskilled developers who don't even bother to push Ota updates for even Windows 10 compatible devices.

  • When I want to watch a video it does not let me I makes me stressed out

  • It is nice mobile when compared the process.windows 10 preview build is very fast and accuracy. I compared with Lumia 638 with 640 xl it is faster , the windows 10 preview build.nice mobile with 5700 rs.

  • It has 1 GB of RAM, you might have seen 630 or 635......they are equipped with 512 MB RAM. 638 has 1 GB.

  • sorry, which one is true for the RAM 512MB or 1GB ? Because in another site, it's 512MB RAM, but here, 1GB RAM. Please somebody, tell me the truth

  • I am cashe from philipines I have this type of phone lumia 638 but it so hard for to set up for internet,, its my first to have this kind of phone,,, is there anybody can help me set up internet...

  • Charger port of this phone gives issues

  • If you want to play hd mkv video files you should download moli player

  • I know how to do that!Please read my comment at GSMarena.My name is Double M

  • Hey!Stark. I have a lumia 638 and I live in India.I know how to update it to denim and then to windows 10. First download "Windows Insider" app from windows store.Then register your microsoft acount as an insider account from microsoft.com. Then click get preview builds>fast ring>then go to updates>check for update>download. I may take a while and varies with internet connection.Then install lumia denim but note that you must have a free space of at least 1.5 GB in your phone storage. After successfully installing denim,then again go to windows insider and follow the previous steps but this time you habe to reboot/restart your phone.After restarting,go to updates>check for updates>download the latest windows techincal preview build and enjoy... Recently Microsoft has release build 10581 which has a lot of bug fixes and I am quite happy with this one... Thank you.Hope this works.Hit me back or you can send me a mail a mail at [email protected] if you have any inquiries!

  • anyone who knows anything about windows denim or windows 10 update please comment

  • I was a previe version 1.signin in windowsphoneappstudio.com. 2.download preview for developers from store 3.check ur phone 📱 update 4.update ur phone for denim 5.finally uncheck the box in preview for developers app.. Now u where ready with ur new version of Windows 8.1(denim)

  • Howw??

  • I got denim update for this phone...

  • Any update info? News of win 10 ? Or denim?

  • Sir! Did you got any official info? Cause w10 is about to release within 2 weeks.. N no denim update yet?

  • Actually build quality matters which is absent in Lumia535 even worse build quality than android phones but I hope a better build quality from lumia 638 and it's better than lumia 535 Since its 4G better chipset and ensures a better build quality,and it's more trusted than 535 as it is6++ series

  • It seems that you have no idea of windows operating systems. Otherwise you never commented like that. In windows it is very easy to share all the files with other any operating systems through SHAREIT

  • Is there any reasonable assurance that this phone will get win 10? Was plannin to buy this phone.. No denim! But win 10 cannot b ignored! Please reply! Thanks in adv!

  • after using this phone I came to know why windows phones are so worst compare to android phones, this phone cannot do one simple task of shareit, worst apps, no updates, no support for video files (most of them wont play). This is my first and last windows mobile, I regret buying this, planning to sell and buy a android phone.

  • Yes

  • when will lumia 638 get denim update??

  • I din'nt get the lumia 638 model in online where did i get that please reply

  • Like this phone looks best from the outside if you compare with other phones like Moto e. It has the best screen + gorilla glass 3(which is really tuf,I dropped it twice on its face but it didn't break,now I've put tempered glass on it) And 4G is really amazing and real fast. Talking about the processor,I have been using this phone since 4 months and didn't get hang! Even the high graphic games run really well. Overall amazing go for it,if your budget is low however if you need phone somewhere around 10K blindly go for Lumia 640.The best phone I've ever seen seriously And Lumia just lacks some app like YouTube,chrome(may be windows and google conflicts).

  • When you put the sim then it will automatically shows you the 4G option

  • Guys asphalt 8,modern combat 5,FIFA 15 ut games are awesome in this phone...this phone support higher end games without any lags loving 😍 it.waiting to download gta san Andreas....next,battery is just a drawback.missing front camera 📷..back camera is okkk with 5mp...overall better than any android phone at this price range... I just got this phone for 5600

  • If you don't have any problem with single sim then just go for it. The best phone you can buy in this price.

  • Better than all the phones I have used till now. Just put a 4G enabled SIM. It will show you 4G network. Battery is great. I am 24x7 connected on 4G network. Internet on. Play Asphalt few of a time. Battery lasts almost 24hrs. But... Now this phone is not available on sales... cause it was a limited edition phone from microsoft-nokia as one of the last products from venture. So, time is up. But this phone... Outstanding. It will get Denim before windows 10 for sure. So don't worry people...

  • Yeah its the best phone you can go for it. the best phone i have ever used. but i lost it on 27th aug'15 :-(:-(:-(

  • How can 4g used in this phone.there isn't 4g network mode in Lumia 638

  • Those who are worried about their update you can update your device cyan to denim. just go to settings>region>select china> restart your device then you can update your device to denim and after completing update just go back to your own region or where you left of. thanks.

  • nice and good product

  • It approx 5 GB dear, but after all necessary corrospondences software, like Skype, what's up , viber etc

  • Can anybody tell me.out of 8gb internal memory user available in only 4gb?

  • Great phone . I have a Samsung note 4 with me as my primary phone and Lumia 638 as my secondary, but I must say I always end up playing games, chatting and surfing with 638. Fantastic battery life even more than my note 4. I bought this phone thru Amazon marketplace in a bargain price of 5999 INR over a month ago , superb built quality. Go for this phone as an secondary device.

  • In this competitive world, the most extreme precious thing is time. And lumia 638 have 4G (with good bandwidth), as compare to lumia 535. But you see in $80 USD u can get 4G mobile. No doubt, Big screen, Flash, Sec. Camera, dual sim are key features of lumia 535, but again these features are not ful fill the requirement of 4G. that's while lumia 638 is better than lumia 535 for all kind of WI Fi based correspondence & gamings

  • forget this phone. lumia 535 is better. or if you have higher budget, choose lumia 640 or 640 xl.

  • Can you play motion censored games. I am asking because it does not have any censor

  • USD $80 with 4G (very good bandwidth) NOKIA LUMIA is #1 Mobile and it break all the records of other mobiles, especially LUMIA 535. Flash, Secondary Camera, Dual Sim are normally week points of this mobile. But as per BRAIN (configration) is extremely superb for WI FI & other commuication modes. And every primary key function is speed (for time saving). Because in minimum time & maximum corrospndence / communication / speed gaming is the top priority for any mobile.

  • yes you can bro

  • can we make skype call with back camera

  • no sensor light and no fhd videos.

  • When I compared the Lumia 638 and 635 here, I read they have same dimensions, and same display size, but different screen-to-body ratio. Its impossible! Look at the pictures: the s-t-b ratio and the display size maybe true, but the dimensions not correct!

  • yes

  • all good ...should be a dual sim phone not reading the pulse of customer thatswhy they lost the battle in mobile phone war

  • I have used Lumia 638 it is very awesome mobile battery back up is very good more than one day....net fast very super H+ in 3g ultimate mobile....

  • Does this phone have an ambient light sensor and proximity sensor?

  • if you want 4g then you can go for lumia 638 and if you want 3G, big screen(5inch), more battery, front camera, but i have used it it has touch problem

  • if you want nokia, you cant have it any more but you can buy microsoft phones because nokia is now of microsoft.

  • If this mobile come with LED flash and secondary camera, then this this will become massive hit.

  • Awesome and reasonably priced.Since a smart phone with 4.5 inch screen phone battery power needs a bit high above 2000 Mah. Anyway, good phone.

  • nokia please come back from past 9 years i was used by nokia phones only in my family,, like nokia 1600,,2626,,1100,,3110c,,asha 500 i like nokia phone only i never parchase any other brand and i never suggenst my freinds and family also hence it's reqwest please please plase come back

  • Lack of led Flash... please relaunch new model with led Flash... Nokia/Microsoft please give led Flash with autofocus camera in mobile price more than 5000 rs.

  • would this phone work on cricket?

  • i own this phone, but it doesnt have a gorilla glass 3. it does not have a front cam, a darwback and less battery but lasts longer than a android phone.

  • On site they say that this phone has a front cam n on here there is no front cam something wrong but it is 4g who right about the Nokia Lumia 638 4g.

  • nokia is one of the best company. most affordable in india

  • no front camera is drawback & battery should be more mah

  • Nokia Lumia 638 is best

  • 535 is a good deal

  • obviously, 535 if you are not having budget issues. 535 has front facing of 5 mp, and battery on 535 is more powerful than 638

  • There was a off yesterday .ended time 8 pm. This mobile avaliable at 6000 rs only at amazon.in.

  • I am looking to buy a windows phone.Should i buy lumia 535 or nokia lumia 638.

  • No gorilla glass

  • Buying android phone is no big deal BUT getting LATEST UPDATE is a big deal . U can get an android phone 1000 rs and also for 50000. There r more than 50 android manufactureing company

  • Did Microsoft get a new supplier?? How on Earth are they getting a 4G phone manufactured for Rs3,714?? Even the Xiaomi Redmi costs more than that. On Zauba, they have listed only 8,000 phones as imported into the country as A00022633 CELLPHONE 638 RM-1010 CV IN BLACK(SINGLE SIM,TOUCHSCREEN,S/SIZE:4.5)

  • Rubbish. Android has killed so many companies like Sony, HTC, Motorola (sold to Lenovo) and now even Samsung is bearing the brunt. Android has helped only Chinese OEMs like Lenovo, Xiaomi, OnePlus, Oppo and Huawei. Nokia went android with X series and failed badly.

  • lumia 638 is best

  • Its much better than lumia 535, lumia 535 has broken many people expectation due to its problem of touch and much more if u dnt care of camera in phone then its d best ever phone by nokia in this budget, after so many defective phone of lumia like 730(connectivity prob.) it is going to be a successful phone by nokia after so much time

  • Yes C.G.Glass & Lumia 638

  • Samir or anyone lumia 638 user Ans me. Does lumia 638 have a Cornig gorilla glass? And tell me which model is better betwenn 630 dualsim or 638? Please ans me.

  • Since Nokia has released Denim update three days before,for windows 8,1 OS for Mobile plateform,Did anyone receive it for Lumia630 and 638?? In the latest update, Microsoft has added Cortana feature enabled for some more countries including India, I checked but it says "No update available for your device". If anyone come across update or has information about cortana on these devices please let me know. [email protected]

  • Nokia pls come back. Microsoft is not capable to carry your legacy. They are following Samsung's way. They r making phone worth cheap plastic, bad touch, pale screen etc, like Lumia 535,532,432 etc etc etc. Pls come back.

  • Never- Nokia has packed with AMAZON to sell Lumia 638 by online only. so u could not get it in the open local market. u have to purchase by AMAZON.

  • Anyone got Denim update????

  • rise up nokia you can do it,,,,,don't lose your fate

  • When will it become available in store in Kolkata ?

  • It's a low price phone. Flagships are slim.

  • best phone but front camra nothing its weeknes so relese lumia 640 with front camra

  • so microsoft targeting budget customer's. nice marketing strategy to find out what is in taste of customer's so that high end phones can be manufatured with requirements. nbOE5mw4

  • Sorry its 9.2 mm not 9 inches but in my concept at that time I want to say 9.2mm but wrong typing only; however, 9.2 inches is very thick compare to other models from other company. Oppo only 4.9mm, vivo only 4.8mm, Iphone only 6.9mm, samsung only 6.7mm, Huiwei only 7.5mm. In term of competition Nokia will never be the best in term of this spec. Low CPU, Low Ram, Plastic, many unnecessary edge of the screen

  • 4.5 inche cpu 1.2 ...

  • how different be twine this telephone and alumina 530 ?

  • Friendship with Microsoft will kill Nokia. Good phone, but with Android it would be worth to buy

  • Not of my use without front can If we use 3g Front cam compulsory require for 3g calling

  • where can i buy this phone? why i cant find in amazon.com/amazon.de/alternate.de/.uk and .... :-/ HELP

  • Its 9.2 mm yar not 9 inche... Get facts correctly.. And about Chinese phones they are using mediatek chipset in processor which is the worst chipset for smartphones.. Qualcomm and Intel atom are best suited for smartphones...

  • This mobile has built in object sensor which turn off screen while calling

  • why doesn't it have Proximity sensor ? what is the use of Sensorcore technology when it doesn't even have normal sensors ?

  • agree

  • dude only android phones support nokia z launcher... kids these days...

  • Nokia? isnt it supposed to be Microsoft?

  • and it didn't support their very own nokia z launcher

  • Whoa mr modern guy hahahaha so awful... and this is not a flagship phone, nokia 600's are low price phones.

  • Im so tired of that 480x854 camera 5mp lol. Its so 2012

  • no flash, no secondary camera. you just killed the phone. only a dumbass will get this

  • why no secondary camera.in this selphie world.

  • recommend

  • I said that Nokia never gives up it weak points because every Nokia phone (Even Lowest or highest price) always has many weak points compared to the other modern devices so it make people feel not proud to hold Nokia. Could you introduce your best Nokia in point of view and they compare you will understand that every Nokia is not good at all to compete.

  • Why I said Nokia never gives up it weak points? Because I see all Nokia product even low or highest price, they many weak points still occurred that make people not proud to hold Nokia product at the moment.

  • if it is a 4G lte phone than it should have a front camera too.

  • If this device has a 720 reso and 2300 mAh of battery, this would be perfect. As of now 730 is their best phone in midrange

  • Please people, when compare the phone please look at the price too. this phone is good for that price.

  • Wait a minute Nokia pulled out of the Chinese market ages ago. And the 735 was Nokia's last branded model. This is just a late throw back release. Oh and the 2016 constraut. Yes Nokia will be making handsets but only for the 3rd world market and they will be unbranded and sold to other company's for there branding. Just like HTC and LG did in tge UK.

  • there is no gorilla glass 3 mention on the official site.

  • yes true

  • Nokia never gives up its weak points to produce phone (CPU quard core 1.2; Ram 1G; 9inches thickness too thick, the cover is plastic, small screen side compare to the whole body leave many unnecessary eldge). Feel unproud to hold Nokia compare to other phone companied. Namely, Nokia currently could not compete even with Acaltel or Huawei

  • very much discourage since no LED flash and front camera......this the reason many nokia lovers shift to andriod or IOS. sad,,,,

  • Nokia never give up its weakness points for producing the phone (CPU quard core 1.2; ram 1 g, and 9inch is too thick to use) while the other phone bran is really updated much more than nokia

  • If you feel it nonsense... how can I say... It is not necessary how many video calls I make in a day... maybe I am going to make a video call once in a month or year, its my choice to select/choose what I want. As I mention before, I like lumia phones very much & I really like the specification of this phone in this price range. I just mention that, what make me disappoint in this phone.

  • I got nokia 530 great for under $50 does everything that does why pay more?

  • What are you people? you want skype n low budget go for 535. for speedy net to enjoy music,here drive+, 1gb ram n smooth os this phone is best. but i need a enhanced camera for my memory alongside those.

  • well that is basically a budget phone.. We can definitely not expect flagship features in it.. there are infinite people who can live without a second cam and flash.. Hope i am making sense..!!!

  • Dumb move of microsoft no front cam in a 4g device ...that announce early after their first lumia release...i think if they put a snapdragon 400 in 535 no one gona to talk about 638...nd nokia has stopped here maps devloping for windows phone mean no more update of here map...as u can find on android nd ios

  • Disguised me it has no cam flash and front cam.

  • The chipset &gpu of 638 is better than lumia 535. And it supports 4g

  • 638 cpu is better than lumia 535.. matters a lot

  • It's best approach of Nokia Lumia. Good specs, best hardware , reasonable price with 4G LTE. It could change the fortune of Lumia

  • Well, for some skype serios video calls you really don't need iphone. A lumia 535 is quite enough;). Minding the fact that ms owns skype, well, tgis sais them all:).

  • microsoft lumia 535 and 638 both have approx. same price and 535 is better than 638. all specification are same but m.535 have 5 mp front camera, dual sim card with extra features.

  • For selfie u can take selfie using rear camera using lumia selfie app.

  • Maybe he want to be like girls taking selfies nd enjoying his beauty.Video call in a budget phone is a joke.if you want video call get iPhone u can do face time.

  • 4.5 Inch Display, 5mp Camera Auto Focus, Battery Good, 1 GB Ram, 8 GB (4.4 GB For User)Internal Memory, Applications Can Directly Download To SD Card. Only If U Have No Problem With LED Flash And Front Camera. 4/5

  • U can go for Lumia 535

  • it should be Microsoft !

  • I guess we can afford another companies phone with more specifications with this price. it does have snapdragon 400 but cons are more in compare to pros. no front cam, no flash, no sensors except accelerometer. Lumia 535 is better compared to this if you have some more bucks to spend in this price range.

  • The idiocy of nokia ia beyond compare they release a mobile with no front cam sucks

  • Front cam is nothing matter but my expectations was that, had a Flash light and a powerful battery.... Overall, Nokia is the best....

  • Well, it doesn't seem, believe me!!. It is, and should be...

  • Please tell me how many times you use front camera for video calls and i will tell you how many times you talk nonsense..capici? Not quite.

  • You people still don't get it, don't you? This is not Nokia releasing lumia's, this is Microsoft. Now...why this guys still use Nokia brand? Well, cause they can;). So, can you get over whith? And by the way...after the 2016 countract you most probably see Nokia android phones, go figure...

  • Say what? Probably you never touched lumia 830 or 630, cause this one looks like 630 and 830 is way way way higher class,).

  • Actually it's one of, if not the best 5mp camera available. I think you're just disappointed it doesn't have a flash or front cam, and fair enough.

  • Yea. It looks more expensives than Lumia 830

  • What do you expect for this price? 41MP?

  • I strongly agree with u. Although this phone`s price is very low, it is like very expensive phones in term of appearance.

  • With the lowest possible price equal to a very basic MP3 player, you will have a prestigious Nokia model with all of a modern android phone`s features. Then what else do you want? It is the best phone among the cheap phones certainly.

  • This phone was launched SIX months ago in China.

  • This phone`s appearance looks like to very expensive models. I will buy it as my second phone.

  • It is really good phone. I like it

  • this is LUMIA 635,but this model is exclusively made for chinese market back in june no need for complaining guys

  • dear all, are you using phone or camera.better you take camera not phone

  • 4G and No front camera i.e. No selfi no video call no skyapp there for useless

  • waste waste waste no flash & no front camera

  • The camera performance is very poor. So this phone can't impress me :|

  • Pl. look at other mobile companies before you introduce any of your mobile. At-least give basic features and components necessary.

  • R u nuts? They said no more Nokia...then is this the dead body of nokia???

  • People were demanding 1GB Ram in Lumia 635 so here it is.... But people are s t upid even 512 is enough for WP I'm having 630 and its performance is beyond Good no lag nothing even with high end games like Six Guns

  • It is suck no front camera

  • Does this phone work on T-Mobile, because this IMHO is an excellent phone for the price.

  • WTF is happening ?? How many Nokia brand do we have? It seems like Nokia is immortal

  • Its a 4G mobile & there is no secondary camera... what a fun.... so how can we make video calls???? For a budget phone, the specifications is great. We really like Lumia phones but how can we accept a 4G phone without a front camera?

  • Relax people! This is just 635 for Asian market with 1GB RAM.

  • what the hellll is this please make a flagship

  • Stupid Microsoft! it should shutdown Skype. what's the point of not providing front facing camera? and they hope to compete with Android? just look-up Lenovo K3

  • Plz dont waste our time.....Dont launch this mobile and its not required for current market..

  • But Nokia didn't stop making lumias??

  • Model specification good bt, why Nokia still thinking v cant understand, all the cstmr required basic atleast front camera bt still NT learning market startagi, I did NT understand, they as to learn so many think in market, insidid buying this, go for different brand android phone, that will come all feature, I am heartly request to GSMARENA people show this Review to Nokia Academy

  • no secondary camera? :))))))))))

  • What the HELL is it Nokia??? A 4G phone without front camera???

  • waste mobile.....no secondary cam,no flash,no hd recording.... lumia 730 is best....no one will buy the phone...waste of releasing...

  • Well that's interesting. I knew the Lumia 830 was the last Nokia smart phone.

  • Atleast it should have 2 mp front camera and flash for rear camera Nokia is not walking with market other brand gives this much configuration in 6000 - 7000 k

  • Still..........no flash or front facing at all......... At least a 5 inch screen !!!!!!!

  • it looks like rebrand phone...

  • nokia still on duty

  • Nice phone, but missing front cam for 4G?!!
