Nokia Lumia 630 vs. Lumia 525: Which one’s worth it?

At Php7,990, is the Nokia Lumia 630 worth the higher price versus its more affordable sibling, the Lumia 525?


Here’s our quick tabular comparison.

At Php1,510 more (based on SRP), you get a slightly bigger and better screen, built-in display protection (Gorilla Glass 3), twice the processing power (quad vs. dual core), better battery life, larger storage expansion, FM radio, and dual-SIM with the Lumia 630.

On the other hand, the Lumia 525 trumps its bigger brother with its 1GB RAM. But since this is a Windows phone, RAM isn’t an issue when it comes to performance, though it may limit the 630’s app selection in the Windows Store.
