Surprise, surprise! Nokia just announced its most affordable Windows Phone 8 smartphone to date – the Lumia 620. We are dealing with a compact device tailored for the needs of the younger crowd. And what better way to attract youngsters than to treat a phone to a flashy paint job?

At the ongoing Le Web Conference in Paris, Finnish giant Nokia has announced a launch of the Nokia Lumia 620 smartphones.


That's exactly what the Nokia Lumia 620 has to differentiate itself with. Its maker has applied what it calls a "dual-shot" color technique, which means that a layer of translucent or transparent polycarbonate is laid over the bottom color coat. This produces secondary color blends and adds texture effects to the smartphone's shell. 

With Windows Phone 8, Nokia Lumia 620 users will get a whole bunch of neat features, courtesy of Nokia. There's Nokia Maps, Nokia Drive, Nokia Transport, and Nokia City Lens. Furthermore, the Cinemagraph lens can be used to add simple animations to photos, while the Smart Shoot feature can combine several pictures into one perfect shot. 

The Nokia Lumia 620 is scheduled to arrive in January of 2013 and will cost roughly $250. Markets across Asia will be the first to get it, followed by Europe and the Middle East. It will be available in lime green, orange, magenta, yellow, cyan, white and black.

The Lumia 620 arrives with a 5 MP camera with LED Flash on the rear and the VGA front facing shooter.

►3.8-inch TFT LCD ClearBlack Display
