Both the devices have their USP. Lumia 635 is going to feature 4G LTE & that will be awesome. If 4G LTE is the USP of Lumia 635 then Lumia 630 has got the optional ‘Dual SIM’ version up the sleeves. Yes Windows Phone 8.1 will bring the much awaited Dual SIM capability to the OS, one that is heavily preferred in developing countries.
Apart from this both Lumia 630 & 635 come with a Nokia first ‘SensorCore’. SensorCore does the job of motion sensing with low-power consumption tech aimed at Health & Fitness tracking.
