Owners Manual

The Lumia 830 smartphone has an SRP of £319 inc VAT SIM free. keep round, however, and you will see this home windows phone retailing for as little as £234 inc VAT. That puts it toward the backside of the mid-range of late 2014 smartphones. much cheaper than the £500 Android flagships, that are themselves better worth than Apple's uber-luxurious iPhones. And seeing that this is a quad-core, 5in smartphone, that is just right worth. however that murky center ground is not utterly clear however. Dial down to £one hundred fifty or less and you could prefer up the Moto G. At round £100 Nokia's own Lumia 630 offfers excellent worth. So the query is whether the Lumia 830 is a low-priced high-end mobilephone or an high-priced finances cell. the reality - as we shall see - is somewhere in the middle. For what it is the Lumia 830 presents good worth. but whether or not that makes it right for any person is one other question.

read round and you'll to find tons of reviewers being sniffy in regards to the Lumia 830's appears. to be had in orange, green, white, or black, it is each inch the Nokia home windows telephone. personally I find it as a substitute elegant, however I do appreciate that magnificence is within the eye of the beholder. we can all agree that it is just right to look a handset that breaks from the black-slab Android norm.

And the Lumia 830 is good put together. That colourful bottom is honestly a thin plastic quilt. just right on the grounds that it's detachable which gives you access to the battery, SIM and micro-SD card slot. k on account that it offers a tender and - to a couple eyes - fashionable conclude. And bad considering that it is wafer skinny and feels somewhat low-priced and plasticky when you find yourself attempting to dispose of- and reattach it. usually it doesn't click on in flawlessly. it's a dismal contact in an or else good-built device. The loudspeaker grill sits at the backside of this panel. across the aspects is a thick, metallic silver rim. On the righthand aspect is quantity rocker, on/off change and (glory be) a hardware camera button. at the top is a 3.5mm jack and the USB charging port. The silver seem is ok, however we discovered it picked up marks when using the Lumia 830 for a couple of days.

At 139.4 x 70.7 x 8.5 mm the Lumia 830 couldn't be described as small. it's chunky and thick, however not totally in a foul manner. it is reasonably effortless to make use of with one hand, and now not uncomfortable to preserve for prolonged durations. We weighed the Lumia 830 at 150 g. there's no hardware home-, again- or search button, but permanent touchpoints below the show work good. The bezels around the show are beautiful small, but the black glass front itself is surrounded through a skinny silver strip, meaning that you just get numerous phone for a quite small large-cell screen. total then we find the Lumia 830 now not disagreeable to appear at and use, and not likely to fall to pieces. it can be no longer the high-quality designed or built cellphone, but it is quirky and solid.
