Nokia will offer the Lumia 620 in seven colors with exchangeable shells in gloss and matte finishes depending on color. The Lumia 620 will run Windows Phone 8 and include Nokia’s exclusive apps. Nokia claims its latest Lumia is the “most affordable” Windows Phone 8 device yet. The company is pricing the Lumia 620 at $249 (190 euros), shipping in January in Asia-Pacific and Middle East markets initially with availability in Europe and other markets to follow.
Update: we got a quick hands-on with the Lumia 620 at LeWeb. We found that it’s lightweight, but the glossy versions felt particularly plasticy and cheap compared to the matte ones.
