Nokia and TELUS today announced that the Nokia Lumia 620 is now available to TELUS customers. TELUS is the first North American carrier to offer this Windows Phone 8 smartphone. The Nokia Lumia 620 offers a fun, youthful appeal and compact design. With seven different exchangeable shells to choose from, Canadians can adapt the look of their Nokia Lumia 620 to their personal taste and style. At TELUS, the smartphone will come in black with a bonus white exchangeable shell.
The Nokia Lumia 620 brings all the features and qualities found in a premium device at an affordable price. It packs a punch with the 1 GHz dual-core SnapDragon S4 processor, making it possible to multi-task, stream in HD and share content at super-fast speeds. The 3.8-inch ClearBlack display has sunlight readability enhancements so users are able to see what is on the screen no matter how sunny their surroundings.
The smartphone also features an exclusive camera lens that transforms the creative power of the 620's five-megapixel main camera and VGA front-facing camera. The Cinemagraph lens adds simple animations to still photographs, while Smart Shoot creates a single, perfect shot from multiple images, even removing unwanted objects from the picture. What’s more, the Nokia Lumia 620 uses a new “dual-shot” colour technique to deliver a variety of striking colour and texture effects. Dual-shot adds a second layer of coloured, transparent or translucent polycarbonate on top of a base layer to produce secondary colour blends and depth effects.
"With its innovative design, the latest Windows Phone 8 software and signature experiences from Nokia, like Nokia Maps, the Nokia Lumia 620 is a highly competitive smartphone at this price point,” said Matt Rothschild, head of Retails and Sales Operations, Americas, Nokia.
“The Nokia Lumia 620 marries affordability, function and style in a mobile device, important qualities our customers look for and value in their smartphone,” said Brent Johnston, TELUS vice-president of Mobility Solutions. “We carefully select a versatile line-up of devices that gives our customers choice, such as great starter devices like the Nokia Lumia 620. We also focus on giving them the best possible start with distinctive supporting services and programs like our TELUS Learning Centres, Anytime Upgrades, Device Trade-in and Flex Data Plans that fit within their budget.”
In addition to NFC connectivity, the affordable smartphone also provides access to the world's best maps and location experience, including Nokia Maps, Nokia Drive and Nokia Transport. It also includes the exclusive Nokia City Lens, which displays information about local surroundings overlaid onto buildings as seen through the camera viewfinder.
