Customers have good things to say about the Microsoft Lumia 635's ease of use, price, and operating system, citing its user-friendliness, affordability, and responsive performance. Many appreciate the phone's features and overall performance for everyday needs. However, a significant drawback reported by customers is the lack of a front-facing camera and limited app selection compared to other platforms. The absence of a flash is also mentioned as a shortcoming.
My galaxy s3 suddenly died after 3 years. I bought this phone because it was really inexpensive with the intention of getting a better phone in a couple months. I was blown away at how much I like this phone. The windows os is way better than I thought it would be and the phone runs great. Only cons are lack of some apps that android had and no front facing camera. But plan to keep using this phone a lot longer than I did when I first purchased it.

I have a windows laptop so I was used to windows OS. The camera is not the best at all. The pictures are bad quality. They're aren't as many apps in the app store as Android or apple. This is my second one, after dropping it face first on a trip to new York. The screen completely shattered and of of course I got the insurance on it, but the best buy out there made me buy another insurance plan, which is an extra $5...anyways. After everything was said and done I would say that the phone isn't that durable as everyone says. What I recommend is getting a screen protector and case asap. Before you buy this phone do some research. Good for your first phone of one that you need asap. Oh and make sure you sign into your windows and outlook account or you will loose contacts if you already have an account.

This is my first Windows phone and I am extremely impressed with this phone and the Windows operating system. The price of this phone is great for such a good quality phone. The operating system is quick and responsive. The phone has a bright clear screen. I love Cortana! The volume on this phone is exceptional and I am able to stream and watch movies seamlessly. The Windows App store has all the apps I need but always a good idea to check it out beforehand to make sure it has the ones you need. The camera on this phone needs improvement but I wanted a quick phone that was highly responsive and had loads of storage and that is exactly what I got!! I have loads of apps and games and have still only used a little over half of my phone memory and very little of the memory on my storage card. I've had Android phones and while I like Google, I didn't like the way the Google apps and programs were forced on you and ate up all of your available memory and you couldn't delete them! Windows phone doesn't force apps on you which leaves me more than enough room for all the apps and games I want and need! Highly recommend!!!
