TheNokia Lumia 830 is a smartphone developed byNokia and released byMicrosoft Mobile that runs Microsoft'sWindows Phone 8.1 operating system. It was announced on September 4, 2014 atInternationale Funkausstellung Berlin,[2] just a few months afterMicrosoft bought Nokia's mobile division and renamed it Microsoft Mobile. It was released in October 2014.[3] It is a successor to the 2012Nokia Lumia 820 and marketed as an "affordable flagship".[4]
The Lumia 830 has a metal frame with a removablepolycarbonate back. It is available in multiple colours - white, orange, green and black.[4]
The Lumia 830 has aQualcommSnapdragon 400 MSM8926SoC with a 1.2 GHz quad-coreARM Cortex-A7 CPU and a QualcommAdreno 305 GPU. There is 1 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal storage; the latter can be expanded withMicroSD cards up to 128 GB in size.
The Lumia 830 has a 5.0 in (130 mm)IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1280x720 and an aspect ratio of 16:9. The display features Nokia's ClearBlack polarisation filters and is protected by curvedGorilla Glass 3.
The Lumia 830 has a 10 MP PureView-branded rear camera, sporting a 1/3.4-inchBSI sensor with 1.12 μm pixels, and an optically stabilised Carl Zeiss 6-element lens with an f/2.2 aperture. The camera supports1080p video capture and is complemented by an LED flash and a two-stage shutter button. The front camera has a 0.9 MP sensor with a wide-angle f/2.4 lens, and supports720p video recording.
The Lumia 830 supports4GLTE technology with maximum transfer speeds of 150 Mbit/s. Other wireless connectivity options include dual-bandWi-Fi802.11a/b/g/n,Wi-Fi hotspot,NFC,Bluetooth 4.0, and wireless screen projection viaMiracast. Physical connectors include aMicro-USB 2.0 connector for charging and data transfer, as well as a3.5 mm audio jack.
The Lumia 830 supports wirelessinductive charging using theQi standard. TheAT&T version additionally supports thePMA standard.[5]
The Lumia 830 includes a variety of sensors, including proximity sensor, ambient light sensor, magnetometer, gyroscope and accelerometer, as well as Microsoft'sMotion Dataactivity tracker based onQualcomm's SensorCore technology.[6] Due to chipset limitations, however, it does not support passive voice activation for theCortana digital assistant.[7]
The Lumia 830 supports video recording inDolby Digital Plus and captures 5.1 surround sound from its dedicated microphones. The handset is also capable of decoding 5.1 Dolby Digital content and playing it back through virtual surround. For stereo content, the mobile can convert it into virtual 5.1 using the Dolby Digital Plus feature for audio playback throughHRTF.
The Lumia 830 ships with Microsoft'sWindows Phone 8.1 operating system coupled with theLumia Denimfirmware update.
The new Lumia Camera app in the Denim firmware update adds support for Rich Capture (HDR imaging),DNG capture and Moment Capture (high-quality 2 MP stills extraction from1080p video).[8][9][10]
The Lumia 830 can be upgraded toWindows 10 Mobile.[11]
The Lumia 830 has received mixed to positive reviews. Most critics commended the design, build quality and camera performance, as well as the availability of several high-end features at a mid-range price. On the other hand, many reviewers found fault with the chipset performance, display resolution and the overall Windows Phone app ecosystem (as compared to Android and iOS). Several reviews drew attention to the fact that the Lumia 830 would be the last Nokia-branded smartphone, with future models carrying the Microsoft Mobile brand instead.
Engadget gave the Lumia 830 a rating of 80/100, calling the rear camera "impressive" and praising the premium design and solid battery life, while criticising performance in graphics-intensive games and gaps in the app ecosystem, particularly for Google's services. Editor Philip Palermo concluded the review writing: "... in general, life was rather pleasant with the 830. It's an Icon(ic) phone that cuts most of the right corners."[12]
Lee Bell ofThe Inquirer described the Lumia 830 as offering many of the same features as the higher-endLumia 930 while being more compact, commended the availability of multiple colours and called the display "the most impressive we've seen on a Nokia Lumia device".[13] A later review by Alastair Stevenson praised the impressive camera, as well as the enterprise and productivity features, while criticising the performance of Internet Explorer and the lack of "many apps that certain users will rely on for personal use".[14]
Brett Howse ofAnandTech called the Lumia 830 "one of the best Nokia phones launched [in 2014]", praising the design and ergonomics, but finding that the performance does not measure up to the "affordable flagship" moniker. The review concluded with: "The combination of the metal band, a thin chassis, a light weight, a decent display, and a decent camera make for a phone that is very good for the right price", but also noted that the phone costs more than it should in many regions.[15]
Ivan Petkov of GSMArena.com highlighted the phone's design and build quality as positives, and found no major problems with performance, saying that the operating system runs "buttery smooth, without any lags whatsoever". New features added in Windows Phone 8.1 Update 1 and the Lumia Denim firmware update were also praised, while the main downside was seen to be the availability of mid-range Android phones that offer comparable or better specifications for the same or lower price.[16]
Andy Vandervell of Trusted Reviews gave the Lumia 830 a score of 8/10, saying it compares favourably to the higher-end Lumia 930 in terms of design, and praising the camera's low-light capabilities. Poor performance in certain games was once again pointed out as a weakness, and the phone was said to be "useless as an in-carsat nav" due to the placement of the buttons and Micro-USB connector.[17]
Nic Healey ofCNET gave the phone a favourable review, listing the camera, design and overall value as positives and saying that "the Lumia 830 does its dynasty proud". The main criticisms were against the 720p display and the appeal, or lack thereof, of the Windows Phone ecosystem.[18]
Business Insider UK ranked the Lumia 830 as 15th in their best smartphones list.[19]
