14 DAY TRIAL // Two new Lumia smartphones are now available for purchase in Ireland, in the form of Nokia Lumia 630 and Lumia 1320, both of which are currently listed as in stock at Argos.
The retailer appears set to increase its lineup of Windows Phone devices, and the newly added smartphones should soon be accompanied by the Nokia Lumia 930, which has been already confirmed officially for the market starting early July.
At the moment, the Nokia Lumia 630, the first handset to have landed on the market with the Windows Phone 8.1 operating system loaded on top, can be grabbed from Argos in green, black and orange color versions. The smartphone features a price tag of €164.95 ($223) and is available for purchase SIM-free.
For those out of the loop, we should note that Nokia Lumia 630 was made official in early April with a 4.5-inch touchscreen display that boasts a 480 x 854 pixels resolution.
Moreover, the smartphone sports a 1.2 GHz quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor, 512MB of RAM, and 8GB of internal memory, complemented by a microSD memory card slot with support for up to 128GB of additional storage space.
On the back, the mobile phone sports a 5-megapixle camera with HD video recording capabilities, yet no front camera was added to it. However, Lumia 630 does arrive on shelves with the entire set of usual connectivity capabilities and sensors included.
Nokia Lumia 1320, on the other hand, has been listed at the retailer with a price tag of €339.95 ($460) attached to it, which might be a bit high for some users, as nokianewsireland notes in a recent post.
The mobile phone was made official in October last year with a 6-inch touchscreen display that can deliver an HD (1280 x 720 pixels) resolution.
Moreover, it arrives on shelves with a 1.7GHz dual-core processor, complemented by 1GB of RAM, and 8GB of internal memory. A microSD memory card slot for expansion purposes was also included in the phone.
On the back, the Lumia 1320 sports a 5-megapixel camera capable of HD video recording, complemented by a front camera for making video calls while on the go.
The usual 3G, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth connectivity capabilities were also added to the handset, along with a built-in GPS receiver. The mobile phone is powered by a Li-Ion 3400mAh battery that can deliver up to 21 hours of talk time or up to 672 hours of standby time.
At the moment, the Nokia Lumia 1320 runs under the Windows Phone 8 platform iteration, though it should receive an update to the newer WP 8.1 operating system version very soon.
