It offers a 4.5-inch 16M colour ClearBlack display with a resolution of 854 x 480 pixels. It is powered by a quad-core 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor which is supported by 512MB of RAM. It also carries Adreno 305 graphics processor for game support and good visual experience. Despite not having a 1GB of RAM, you don’t see lags while multitasking as the Windows OS consumes less amount of RAM unlike Android OS. The Lumia 630 comes with a 5MP primary camera, however it misses the front camera and the LED flash. It is packed with 8GB of internal storage memory which is expandable upto 128 GB via the microSD card slot.
