Three goes hands-on with the Nokia Lumia 735

Nokia Lumia 735

Nokia’s ‘selfie phone’, the Lumia 735 is almost here and Three has confirmed that it will be stocking the mid-range phone when it launches.


But if you need something to make the wait easier the network has also posted a hands-on sneak peek of what you can look forward to.


As you can see from the video the Nokia Lumia 735 looks to be a good all-rounder with a couple of stand-out features. With a 4.7 inch 1280 x 720 display and a pixel density of 312 pixels per inch it’s both large and able to deliver crisp images.

 

 

Its 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor and 1GB of RAM ensure it’s fairly powerful too and at just 8.9mm thick it’s quite slim. Storage needn’t be a problem because while there’s only 8GB baked in it also has a microSD card slot with support for cards of up to 128GB.


The main camera is only 6.7 megapixels, but it’s a high quality sensor which uses Carl Zeiss optics and can record 1080p video at 30fps.


The real star of the show is the wide-angle 5 megapixel camera on the front, which makes it great for selfies. Better yet there’s a ‘Lumia Selfie’ mode, which allows you to add filters and effects to help your photos stand out and ensure you look better in them.


The Lumia 735 also has the latest version of Windows Phone 8.1 with Lumia Denim, which includes folders to make it easier to organise your Live Tiles and more excitingly it finally brings Cortana to the UK, allowing you to speak requests for a variety of things, from setting reminders and sending messages to looking things up online.


You can also manually add information to Cortana, such as your travel plans, so that it will be able to keep track of the things that are important to you and automatically remind you of them. Plus there’s a ‘Quiet Hours’ mode, which blocks calls and other distractions during set hours other than those by people on a specific list defined by you.


Three hasn’t yet confirmed exactly when the Nokia Lumia 735 will be available but we’re expecting it sometime this month and it’s likely to carry a mid-range price tag. Register your interest in the Lumia 735 below!
