When Nokia released the Lumia Icon earlier this year, it took its polycarbonate design philosophy and went a bit metal -- aluminum, specifically. The result was a premium phone with a fancy body to match. But the Icon's exclusivity on Verizon limited its...

To date, the Nokia Lumia Icon has topped the list of my favorite Windows Phones. But if you invest $99 to buy the new Microsoft Nokia Lumia 830 via AT&T, you'll be handed a thinner, lighter phone that's equally robust, which you may even prefer to the old...

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...

The Lumia 830 was launched by Microsoft at the IFA trade show in September. As seems to be the norm for most Nokia phones, it has taken a short while for announced phones to be generally available, but the Lumia 830 can now be found in many markets. When...
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...

The Lumia 830, available from AT&T, is one of the last Windows Phone handsets to wear Nokia's brand name. It's an interesting entry; it's an update to the Lumia 820, though it resembles the higher-end Lumia Icon/928. In other words, if you want a phone t...
The Nokia Lumia 830 is an all-around solid performer. It may be a mid-range handset, but it acts more like a flagship smartphone. It boasts Nokia's classic design and solid build quality in a phone that's compact and a pleasure to use. The Lumia 830 handl...

AT&T offers the Lumia 830 in the US for $99 on contract and $450 full retail. There are quite a few tempting phones in that price range, including some last gen but still solid Android phones and the iPhone 5s. But if you're a Windows Phone fan, it's cert...

We like the Lumia 830, though it's hard to rave about a phone that's designed to sit directly in the middle in terms of price and features. It's neither an outright bargain, nor is it packed with the best specs currently available. Instead, this Lumia tar...

The Lumia 830 and Lumia 920 are both excellent examples of quality Windows Phones. What makes the Lumia 830 interesting is the fact it not only matches, but also often excels against the Lumia 920. The Lumia 8xx-series though is understood as being less f...

Sold as an "affordable flagship" device, the Lumia 830 is a toned-down version of the Lumia 930. While the watered-down specs might be a concern for enthusiasts, the price point -- about two-thirds of the 930's SRP -- will be reasonable enough for Windows...
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...

There's something different about the Nokia Lumia 830. It's a mid-range device, but it feels like a flagship. Admittedly, Nokia is dubbing the Lumia 830 as a "flagship on a budget", and the idea of it being a flagship definitely rings true. Although the 8...

The Lumia 830's storage capacity is fine, with a generous 16GB internal - a lot in the mid range, of which well over 11GB is available out of the box, plus microSD up to 128GB (no card is supplied in the box, which is a bit stingy, but I guess most owners...
At £300 (all in, in the UK at the moment) and without its unique imaging software, the Lumia 830 is nice enough, if a little pricey - with Lumia Camera onboard and making full use of the tiny but fast and powerful camera, and hopefully nearer £250 within...

As Windows Phone users earnestly wait for a Windows 10 flagship due summer and old flagships are being retired, Windows Phone now has the distinction of having an overwhelming number of low-mid range devices. I for one have owned the 535, 635 , 735 and 83...
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...
