As you turn on a brand new Nokia Lumia 830, what you will see first is the logo of Nokia, then the badge for Windows Phone comes right after. This is among the last Lumias where such can be seen. This is because the branding of Nokia will no longer be present on the smartphones that Microsoft will be releasing.
What can you expect from this device?
First of all, Nokia Lumia 830 can be purchased at SIM-free £292 or if you are taking it from a contract, the price starts at £18. The dimensions of this product are 139.4 x 70.7 x 8.5mm, making it not that bulky when placed inside your pockets. This device is also very lightweight since it is only 150 grams. The device has a 5-inch screen which uses 1280 x 720 at 296 ppi and uses Corning Gorilla Glass 3 technology.
When it comes to the operating system that this device is using, what you can get is Windows Phone 8.1 equipped with Lumia Denim. The processor that it is using is a quad-core Snapdragon 400 set at 1200 MHz and has a 1GB RAM. It may not be as fast as what other smartphones can offer you out there, but for its price, it can already be a smart buy.
The memory of this device is sufficient for light users, as it has a 16GB internal storage, which can be expandable for up to 128GB if you are going to use a MicroSD and it comes with a free cloud storage of 15GB. It comes with three major keys on its body namely the lock/power key, the volume keys and the camera key.
When it comes to the battery of this device, you can enjoy a standby time of 22 days, a maximum of 14 hours for Wi-Fi browsing and video playback time for a maximum of 10 hours with its 2200 mAh battery which is replaceable.
Being one of the last devices for the Nokia Lumia series, Nokia Lumia 830, indeed, has a fun and elegant design that any user can enjoy. It also has software which matches its hardware’s quality, making it a package which is really compelling. Not that packed with many upgrades from the previous Nokia Lumia devices, the Nokia Lumia 830 still remains to be a good buy for the price that it has, especially with its satisfactory battery life.
