Unimaginative Design

Steep pricing
Front Camera Could Have Been Higher in Megapixels (But it takes decent if not great selfie)
Nice mix of metal and plastic, PureView camera performs well in most settings, Glance Screen a nice way to peek at basic notifications, Cortana is getting a little smarter
Processing power is dated, Windows Store could use a little mopping up, Rear speaker is tinny and distorted
At $100 on a two-year contract with AT&T, or $450 outright, you don't necessarily have to break the bank to go in on this one. The Lumia 830 is a solid middle-of-the-road Windows Phone. The camera's consistent performance is great, but its specs are as l...
Overall I would say that the Nokia Lumia 830 is possibly their best phone that's available at the moment. It is just the combination of the best bits from all of their other phones...

Smart-looking with satisfying mid-range power, the Lumia 830 packs in more features than you'd expect at this price range, including the impressive PureView camera
A 720p screen seems a little disappointing on anything with the title 'flagship'. Windows, as always, suffers when it comes to your choice of apps in the marketplace
A great example of a Windows-based smartphone and a killer option for what it costs, although there's still not quite enough going on with Windows Phone to pull people away from Android or iOS....
Slick design, Great camera, Decent performance, Nice display, Affordable, Good battery life
Windows Phone still needs further development
So how affordable is this device? Well it varies from one retailer to the next but plenty of UK webstores are offering it for around the £300 mark SIM-free. Meanwhile, networks are offering quite reasonable contracts, EE, for example, asks for £99 up fr...
Moderate price, good camera, full of enterprise features
Only 1GB RAM, Windows Phone forces you to use Internet Explorer
The Lumia 830 is a mid-range Windows Phone that offers an above average camera, quad-core processor and a wealth of productivity services traditionally seen on handsets usually cost at least £100 more....

Abstract: The Lumia 830, which is already available in the UK, is another midrange Lumia (from Microsoft, but it retains the Nokia brand) fighting for your attention. It squeaks in at under £300 SIM-free (it's £279 on PAYG at EE) or is free on contracts at around £...

Slim, stylish and nicely made, Vibrant screen, Good low-light camera performance
A bit expensive, Not great for high-end games, Low-end CPU for the price
Nokia Lumia 830 verdict Open Gallery The Nokia Lumia 830 succeeds because it's so pleasant to use in a very simple way. It's among the slimmest and lightest large-screen Windows phones, and the screen is both bright, clear and colourful. Those me...

Great build, latest Windows Phone 8.1 experience, battery life, camera options
Screen resolution lacks, lure of Lumia 930 more tempting
The Microsoft Nokia Lumia 830 is a very pretty handset. The build can't be faulted for its premium quality and while the processor and camera might lack a little power for some, that's why the price is where it is positioned. For a near-top-end Lum...
