Nokia Lumia 830 Review

Nokia Lumia 830 is a powerful Windows Phone 8.1 Lumia Denim UI device launched back in 2014, with a high-tech Quad-Core processor ticking at 1.2 GHz, a comfortable 5 inches display, and 2 cameras, a 10 mega-pixels back side camera and a 0.9 megapixels front facing camera.

This cellphone is just 5.49" long and 2.78" wide, but it is still able to fit a a 5 inches screen. This phone has a wonderful design, with a thickness of just 0.33 inches. Nokia is offering the Nokia Lumia 830 in a wide range of color options, black, orange, green and white. Nokia has made a great design job making this phone weight only 5.29 oz.

This cellphone is equipped with a very good 1280 x 720 (HD) 5-inches screen, giving this phone a nice graphical experience. Its screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and can detect multiple fingers at the same time.

Nokia decided to power this cellphone using an extremely fast Quad-Core processor clocking at 1.2 gigahertz, included in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 system chip with only 1 GB of RAM memory which is a bit disappointing for a cellphone this good. Graphic rendering often consume lots of CPU processing time, so it also has an extra Adreno 305 GPU speeding at 450 megahertz to take care of them, leaving the CPU free for other tasks. This cellphone counts with a 16 GB quite big internal storage and an external memory card slot, enough to store hundreds of applications without worrying about space.

This device features two cameras, a 10 MP back camera and a 0.9 mega-pixels front camera. Though it's 10 megapixels may sound amazing the back camera sensor size is quite small which makes photographs be less detailed and darker than they should. It also shoots Full HD 1920x1080 videos at 30 fps. Additionally, the camera counts with a couple of good features like auto-focus, flash, fast burst mode, geo tagging and optical image stabilization.

This cellphone has Wi-Fi capability (which can be provided to other devices acting as a router), LTE 4G great performance connection type and also HSPA+ connectivity, that is a lower speed 4G type and 3G fast connection type, using HSDPA, HSUPA and EDGE technologies. This cellphone works with a Nano SIM card to use GSM services.

The Lumia 830 uses a high capacity 2200 mAh replaceable battery providing the Nokia Lumia 830 a quite long battery life. This cellphone has a reported 528 hs stand by time and a 12.9 hours talk time according to Nokia.

This phone also comes with plenty of great features as Wireless charging, Near Field Communication (NFC), Bluetooth (for communication with other bluetooth devices, computers, and accessories), GPS (Global Positioning System) and FM Radio, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

Nokia is offering this cellphone for $ 175, which is very expensive for a cellphone this level. This cellphone is probably the correct option for you no matter if you need a work phone, want it to take lots of photographs, want this device majorly for internet broswing and social networks or will use it to play games.
