With such a low price come a few inevitable compromises. The Nokia Lumia 630’s screen, as you might expect from a budget phone, is not the best. It’s bigger than the Moto E’s 4.3-inch panel, which is good news for those with big paws, but its resolution, at 854x480, is considerably lower. As a result, web pages and photos look quite grainy - the Moto G’s 720p panel is a substantial step up. Its v...
