Nokia Lumia 930 Review
-
The Nokia Lumia 930 released this summer in Asia spots a similar style as the Nokia 925 series with metallic band across the body frame giving it a cool and refreshing look from the previous plastic mold versions of Lumia series
With a screen size of around 5 inches the phablet size smartphone has a strong 2.2GHZ Quad core processor which is suitable given that its one of the first flagships out of Microsoft to have the Windows Phone 8.1 OS. The phone resolution is about 1920 x 1080 pixels / 441 ppi which is good for a Windows OS UI.
Internal memory has a 32GB ROM and 2GB RAM indicating that it truly is a high spec smartphone from Nokia. Within the wrapped boxed of the phone, you will find a USB cable CA-190CD, Nokia Charger AC-60X and a Quick start guide.
We wanted to see how the Lumia 930 sized up against the other Nokia 525 and iphone 5S and as you can see the screen size is much bigger but the great thing about the phone is the smooth metallic edges makes holding the phone much more comfortable.
Standing the Lumia 930 up on the desk, the dimensions are around 137 mm in height x 71 x mm in the width and a thickness of around 9.8 mm. Note having a flat shape makes the phone more comfortable to hold compared to the older lumia series that had a curvature shape on the rear. And also the Lumia 930 weighs only 167 grams it feels lighter in the hands.
Best function of the phone
Lumia 930 has a 20MP 6 focus lens camera which is really what makes it stand out from other phones including the high resolution zoom x2 specs. The front camera, good for taking a selfie is about 1.2 Megapixels.
Windows 8 phone 8.1 interface has both smaller tile and bigger tile icons that can be further extended than the Windows phone 8.0 . They are quite similar to icons you would keep on your windows desktop. Lumia 930 input language is available in several Asian languages as well.
Conclusion
Nokia Lumia 930 is without a doubt a high end windows smartphone nice to have if you want something different from the HTC One8 or Samsung S5 that have similar physical specifications and within the same price range.
