Best Cheap Windows Phone 8.1 Smartphone
Phone owned for less than a year

if you want to buy a cheap windows phone 8.1 device and not a selfie addict, lumia 635 is a right choice. in my opinion this is a best WP 8.1 OS and hardware optimization. at least VGA front camera would be nice for skype video calls.

Budget phone, Nokia quality
Phone owned for more than a year

My issues don't lie with this budget phone per se as with decisions by Microsoft. Microsoft eliminated an app called Lumia Storage Check that provided the function to store maps for offline use on to the SD card. With no reasonable explanation the company built a brand new Here app for Android phones with the added function of supposed storage on SD. The reviewer below oddly reviewed the 635 harshly after it was already being cleared from store shelves to make way for its successor, the 640. I offered a more balanced review as I was waiting for a decent budget phone and purchased it upon it's immediate release in the U.S. and I was not displeased with the phone--it served it's function. I was happy with it.

Lumia 635 behind
Phone owned for less than 3 months

There are so many things that are behind, and for a $129 phone, I don't recommend you buying it at all. There are tons of cons, including a lack of proximity sensor, and more. If you really wanted to buy it, use the Lumia 640 because of better speed.
