Alike its elder siblings Lumia 820 and 920, the Lumia 620 will also have Nokia’s favourite camera specialties such as City Lens, the augmented-reality layer and Cinemagraph, Nokia Maps and Music apps which are aimed to help Nokia distinguish it’s devices from those of other manufacturers using the same Windows Phone operating system.
