Pros and cons of the model in conclusion

The budget phone Nokia 620 is currently not so often found on sale. The price for an outdated model varies in the range of 3000 - 4000 rubles. The quality of the assembly, the opportunity to refresh the case by replacing the back panel (spare parts for this model are more common for sale than the new phone) can be safely attributed to the pluses of the phone under consideration. The model is close in format to the usual push-button phones, but boasts smart features. Of the minuses we can note the absence of an FM radio receiver and the small variety of available applications. A good option for children and older people.
