The 720's Qi-based wireless charging has carried over, too, so you can plunk the 735 down on a compatible charging plate at the end of a long day rather than fiddle with cables. If you regularly find yourself on weekend trips where wall outlets aren't an option, or you just can't stand USB battery packs, this could prove to be a lifesaver. You can now pry off the entire rear shell, which lets you not only add microSD storage (already possible on the 720), but also swap covers and replace the 2,220mAh battery pack. You may forgive that gaffe with the controls knowing the improvements to expandability. It's an odd regression on a device that's otherwise a clear step forward, and it takes some of the fun out of a signature feature. Let that sink in for a minute - the Lumia 735, a smartphone devoted to spur-of-the-moment selfies, doesn't have a quick way to take those selfies. However, you won't see a dedicated camera key like you saw on the 720 as well as the more recent 830 and 930. You'll still find the volume and power buttons in easy-to-reach places on the right side, a headphone jack on the top and a micro-USB port on the bottom. Not that the ergonomics have improved across the board, whether you're comparing it to the 720, 920 or other previous Windows Phones. Don't worry if this or the glossy orange is too garish for your liking, by the way - there are black and white models if you're a little more conservative. I'm also a sucker for the matte mint-green finish on my test unit, since it's at once eye-catching and resistant to dust and smudges. It's one of the most comfortable phones I've held in a while, and about my only gripe is that the sharp-angled corners occasionally dig into my palm. Its minimalist, rounded plastic shell looks like a Lumia 920 or 1020, just without the bulk the newer Lumia is only slightly narrower and taller to accommodate its 4.7-inch screen, but it's noticeably thinner and lighter, at 0.35 inch thick and 4.7 ounces.

One glance at the 735 and it's immediately clear that this is a textbook Nokia (or rather, Microsoft Mobile) design.
