Lumia Comparisons: 620 vs 720 vs 820


I’m going to compare three smartphones all from the Lumia family of Nokia.
The 620 against the 720 against the 820.

The 620 is slightly a budget smartphone whereas the 720 and 820 are the mid-range smartphones.
There’s not much of the price difference between 620 & 720 and 720 & 820. Just 3-4k here and there.

All the phones run Windows Phone 8 OS with lag free experience to that compared with Android smartphones in similar price range.

All the three phones are much the same in terms of UI usability with more or less same processor but lack of RAM in newer Lumia.

So I’m going to discuss only the pros and cons of these devices.
So here goes the comparison.

P.S Here Drive+ (still in beta) comes with word wide voice guided navigation for free lifetime whereas the Here Drive comes with country/region specific means that you can't take your phone with you for navigation in other countries.

Conclusion:
Compared  to 720, 620 is over weighted. Powered by lower battery rating with just 1300 mAh. Has the VGA front camera, 5 MP primary camera. TFT screen over IPS LCD. Screen size at only 3.8". The only advantage is it has is Here Drive+. Having said that, you get a very decent phone with more or less the same hardware/software in 620 with lower price tag.

Compare to 820, 720's main feature come with the Camera with unbelievable F1.9. You get more battery capacity with 2000mAh. A wide angle front camera for group portraits or group video chatting and having relatively less weight than 820.
The advantages of 820 over 720 are 1 GB RAM which means you get a totally lag free phone and can run latest apps/games without need to worry. LTE in this price point. Here Drive + of course.
Full HD Video recording. An AMOLED Display. A 1.4 Ghz Dual core processor (720 has only 1 Ghz Dual core processor).
I've given 820's camera in cons because in some reviews i found the 720's camera was better in almost lightening conditions but the only advantage of 720's camera is in night time. And 820's camera proves to be better in terms of details as it has slightly bigger sensor.

So folks this comes to end and let me know which you find better and which one will you opt in the comments below. Have i missed something? Let me know!
