Nokia Lumias consistently take some of the best smartphone photos out there. The company, now under Microsoft’s watchful eye, continues that tradition with three new handsets. The Lumia 830 promises flagship phone-quality at a budget-friendly price, while the Dual SIM 730 (and single SIM 735) aim to please the selfie-shooting crowd.
The Lumia 830 runs Windows Phone 8.1 on a 5-inch 720p display and is backed with a removable polycarbonate shell. Inside, a 1.2 Ghz Snapdragon processor runs the show. The smartphone also has a 10-megapixel PureView camera on the rear with optical image stabilization. For better audio capture while recording video, the 830 has two mics on the backside and one on the front. It also features wireless charging, which you can use with a new Nokia wireless charger that starts glowing when your phone is in the vicinity and has less than 30 percent charge. The charger is an eye-popping orange hue.
The Lumia 730 and 735 (which differ only in that the 730 is the Dual SIM model popular with international travelers) boasts a 5-megapixel front-facing camera with a wide angle lens—the better for capturing selfies and selfies with friends (groupies?). That focus on the front-facing camera also brings with it a 3-month Skype Unlimited subscription. The 730/735 has a 4.7-inch 720p display and on the back, an f/1.9 6.6-megapixel shooter.
Both phones run the new “Denim” version of Windows Phone 8.1, which features updated imaging capabilities on PureView devices and improvements to Cortana, Windows Phone’s digital assistant.
Both Lumia models are global (U.S. carrier availability TBD) and will ship in September with 15 GB of free OneDrive storage. The Lumia 830 is priced at 330 Euros, while the 730 is 219 and the 735 is 199.
