Abstract: The Nokia Lumia 830 combines a large 5-inch screen with Windows apps, two cameras and a slim design. While it offers specs similar to that of many midrange smartphones, this phone uses the Microsoft Windows Phone 8.1 operating system, which means that you...

Microsoft's mid rangers are all decent phones, some more than others. As middle of the range phones are all that we have available now, it's great that we can't go wrong with many of the choices available. The 535 is a decent cheap smartphone that ticks...

Very good battery life, Coloraccurate display, Fluid and stable video footage with excellent sound recording
Some LED flash shots come out of focus, Middling earpiece quality, No MKV video format support, Cumbersome nano SIM card format
While a very decent Windows Phone device, the Nokia Lumia 830 has a steep hill to climb against midrange Androids with its current price bordering on 300 USD or EUR. Windows Phone 8.1 is now a better mobile OS, and the Lumia 830 is promised for a Windows ...

Build quality, camera, battery life
Prefer 1080p resolution, 3rd party app support
The Nokia Lumia 830 is a solid mid-range phone. While Windows Phone is nowhere near as popular as Android or iOS, it was easy to use and ran well. The camera in the Nokia Lumia 830 really shines as well, so if decent mobile photos are high on your list of...

This review mostly compared the Lumia 830 against the 930 because Microsoft is marketing it as the “affordable flagship.” Priced at about $400, it's a fraction of the cost of the $600+ Lumia 930, which is actually an older, albeit more powerful, device. F...
When the Lumia 830 launched as an “affordable flagship” at IFA 2014, I thought it would be just another midrange phone. But the Lumia 830 has some great features that make it feel like a flagship. The device has a premium feel in-hand, and is much nicer t...

Abstract: Our review of the ultra low-end Lumia 530 found it rather wanting. Sometimes cheap is too cheap, and that phone cut a few too many corners. We felt the Lumia 630 and 635 were a lot more compelling, and in some ways the 630/635 represent the true successor...
