The features of the Nokia Lumia 505 are not very impressive. It includes low-end specs, such as an 800MHz CPU, a 56K color display, and 256MB of RAM. On the other hand, it does have some nice points. It looks pretty neat in its uni-body design and it sports an 8-megapixel camera.
On-paper Star rating: 
Granted, the Nokia Lumia 505's 1300 mAh of battery juice will get you through a day, but given this phone's 3.7-inch screen, we would prefer a battery with more capacity.
Since the Nokia Lumia 505 uses Windows Phone 7.8, a less popular operating system, you may run into the frustration of having a hard time finding applications for your mobile.

It records video clips at 30 frames per second, which is a high-enough fps rating by today's video phone expectations.
The talk time claimed by the manufacturer (438 minutes) is higher than the average talk time. Though battery-life ratings are not necessarily measured the same way by each manufacturer, this is an interesting indication that the Nokia Lumia 505 may last more than other phones.
