I have the Lumia 930, it's a beast
I like both devices But I like your statement in conclusion that " Lumia 930 is still my Favourite Smartphone Camera, Hands Down..." It is Excellent video though...
Well it's true . And he strictly refers to the Lumia 930 with Denim.
I like his comparison between both phones and points are valid
however I feel "hey cortana" or any similiar feature on other platforms ("ok google" etc) are more or less gimmicks at the moment and judgement shouldnt be based totally on this one feature
as for windows phone "slower" on the 830,i dont really see the difference,ofcourse there will be slight load with heavy games but its obviously gonna happen thanks to its "weak cpu" and ram but its not gonna happen all the time,i mean a smartphone isnt only to play games
I have a 720 and 820(512mb and 1gb ram respectively) so i do know the exact situation with the increased load times and its not well potrayed in the video
rest of the video,i like how Jaime is very unbiased and open about other platforms
keep it up JR!!
Still using the 830 in 2017. I also have the 730 in the drawer. The 830 has optical camera stabilization so videos are fine, while on the 730 the videos are too shaky. On the other side, the 830 has poor mic and ear piece, while the 730 has an exceptional mic and loud earpiece. The 830 has a good touch screen, while the touch screen on the 730 is not that responsive.
Got an 830... Great phone... Thanks for featuring windows phones...
Finally more Lumia 830 coverage! Been waiting for this from you guys, looking forward to the full review.
Just got the 930 2 days ago. I am very impressed. The 930 was 80 euros more expensive than the 830. One of the biggest differences is the 1080p vs 720p I think. Also the 800 is blazingly fast on WP. The 930 also has superb build quality, even better than the iconic (see what I did there ;) ) 920.
Best comparison for a while, great work Jaime!
I have a Lumia 1020. Waiting for a Lumia 1030!! Can't wait. Great video Jaime! video
How did you get the weather onto the glance/lockscreen? Is that a Denim feature?
From where you got this info? I'm pretty exited for it
I think pocketnow is the only channel who talks about Windows phones these days. Thumbs up for that
Hi Jaime, can you do an after the buzz with denim on Lumina 1520 or a comparison between the 1520 n 930 both with denim? Thanks
I have the 830, 930, and the 1520 and love them all. Thinking bout selling my 830 since I just got the 930 but not too sure yet.
Keep them :D
You're the first person who actually SAID it... the old days when WP was smooth on every phone are gone u.u Lumia 630, 735, 830 are fast (faster than android), but animations drop some frames
I loved having Glance on my Lumia 928, really missed it on the Icon. Thankfully, the upgraded-everything-else was worth it.
I love windowsphone and it's great since I bought 920 till now I still use MS devices 930 and 535 I love it so much keep going Microsoft
nice to see some WP reviews....also please do a comparison b/w Lumia 730 and Moto G2!
It's nice to see some fair unbiased stuff from Jaime.
Please PLEASE do the full review of the 830 when you have Full Denim on it, otherwise it will be less amazing than it is.
Even battery if improved with the full version of Denim, reaching easily a whole day on heavy use.
I'm telling you this from my own experience using a L 830 with and without full Denim.
Great video!
Really couldn't justify buying either at this point. Microsoft needs to put out a new Windows Phone flagship if they're gonna get my money.
It's just too hard to justify a WP over a flagship Android or iPhone, especially when their own Office suite is generations ahead on both other platforms.
There are rumors about plans from MS to come out with a high-end phone this summer with Snapdragon 810 and maybe 3-4Gb of RAM already.
in that case u gotta wait till windows 10... which may be as soon as this summer
Your money or your parents' money? :)
cause MS has a better Office coming in Win 10 :P booyah
Just as the Htc one M8 is one of the best android phones, it's also got a windows phone variant(No you can't dual boot the operating systems) but with the M9 coming in a couple months (assuming it also has the variant), it's probably the best choice if you really want to try windows phone OS.
Nice comparison. I own Lumia Phones since 2011 and in terms of style there is simply no such thing.
That myth with the WP-app-gap is simply ridiculous by now. If you don't rely on google-services (and hell, you simply don't need a g-mail account, outlook can do the job just as good), the build quality, cameras and look & feel of lumia devices is without competition.
(note: for me as an audiophile, your voice sound seems to be a bit wide)
The glance feature is not an amoled only. The 1520 spots an ips display and it works there too. Also it doesn't work on the 930/icon because they spot an OLED display not amoled
I mainly pay attention to Android and IPhone but its refreshing to see how well put together these windows phones are
I have the 830 and already have the new camera..
The glance mode is the best feature on WP, and i'm really happy with my 830.
I havent really seen any stutter either, maybe your test unit is defective.
Pocketnow which lockscreen app are you running on the phones?
If only the 830 had an SoC800 it would be such a fantastic future proof phone.
Everyone would've been happy if the 830 at least had Snapdragon 600 or 615.
Rares Macovei Exactly!! At that price the 400 is a shit processor.
soc 600 is enough for 830 IMO, snap 400 is lumia 635 processor
Just so you know, SoC800 would mean System on Chip 800. If you want to abbreviate Snapdragon 800, use S800 or SD800.
winston setyo Snapdragon 600 needs even more energy than Snap 800/801. It's obsolete now. 830 should have the Snapdragon 615, 730/735 should have Snap 410.
i really wish hey cortana worked on 830. seems it should but at higher battery consumption or something as the hardware is not designed to monitor microphone continuously, though it should be possible.
Very good comparison Jaime
On the Lumia 830, when opening the new Lumia Camera app and you see the warning message : hit the back button on the phone, twice. This will bring up the app ton function normally and then, you'll be able to use it. It's a bug with the current firmware update.
I recently bought the 930 and really loved it. It was a great change from android. But the overheating issue forced me to return it :(
I'm really happy with my 830. That being said, if I could've gotten the 930 on AT&T I would have and I'm not thrilled that I won't get all of the features of the Demin update.
Maybe I heard a bit of sarcasm in the measurements category? You could give up on telling those specs and replace it with "they are basically the same size". "Almost 1mm thicker" is just a difference you cannot see/feel in real world. I was a long time Android user and now I'm rocking the 930, couldn't be much happier with it.
You guys should really put some annotations at the end of your videos so we can click on what you're showing us.
4:27 well the phone on the left has a cleary higher frame rate
not clearly...the older model drops a few frames. Both are bad choices if you can get another device.
The 930 looks more like 60fps and the 830 at 30fps. My 820 performs better than the 830.
Kram Sacul No.
Does it play games/open apps faster than the moto x 2013?
The Lumia 830 could record 4k (8.3mp) because it has a 10mp camera. The SD 400 doesn't allow that feature. And who would had thought we one day hear Jaime saying that a windows phone it's better at photography than an iPhone. Amazing.
Btw, great video. You still need to upgrade your audio recording, but the video is really good.
Jaime estas en Guatemala?
Even I have a Lumia 1020. Waiting for 1030. But it is a bit sad win pH is losing its performance edge. However it is still leagues ahead of Android and over the older iPhones running the latest iOS since those devices are competiting with the 830.
How about the camera speed? I heard that the 830 is rather slow
@Hugo Paredes I think it is the processor.
Great Review! I love my Lumias...
I miss windows phone after i sold my 1520
Lumia 920 has an IPS LCD screen and it can show glance screen. The Lumia 920 is a beast!!!
I love my 830 but am considering buying the 930 as well =}
Really happy to see Pocketnow supporting windows phones! They are seriously under-rated by other reviewers!
If verizon gets a new windows phone this year sometime or next year I may get it as my first windows phone.
The only thing that irks me about Windows Phone is it seems that most of the time the selection available for sale is very limited. Microsoft's store seems to only have a fraction of the devices out there and the carrier exclusive phones never seem to be available on the phone company's websites...really they should do away with carrier exclusive models and do 100% unlocked and direct sales to consumers only.
Windows Phone 8.1 (Blue) finally brought feature parity... but it also brought bug parity with the rest, which is sad...
Im gonna wait for next windows device.. hopefully big windows 10 will arrive soon..
I think it is the next generation of the Smartphone's will be in Lumia devices , it will dominate the world ,the best designs
Windows Phone is getting all the software we need very fast. So, don't worry about the software list.
I own both of them and I do really prefer the 830. I don't notice the hardware differences in daily use at all and the 830 feels so much better in hand.
How are the speakers on lumia devices? If the app selection has gotten better on WP I might drop my M8 for one in the summer.
Volume levels are adequately high but lacks clarity! M8 is still the best at that.
bflaves123 if you're jumping to the Windows Platform, try getting the Windows Version of the HTC M8 :) And yes, the speaker quality is great!
Keep the M8, it has the best speaker quality on the market and WP app selection still sucks
Thumbs up if you were hoping for Michael Fisher's sexy voice in this video.... *sigh*
I recently bought the 930. I was thinking on getting the 830 due to the price (albeit still quite high). But the CPU, screen and camera made me decide on the 930. My main concerned with the 930 was battery life, but it turned out to be great. With normal use (emails, sms, calls, internet, no gaming) I charge the device once every two days. Very pleasant surprise.
I absolutely love the design and functionality of the affordable Lumia 735. The only reason I'm still waiting to buy it is Lumia Camera 5. Until a month ago, only Pureview Lumias (830, 930, Icon, 1520) had this camera app with all the features (except 4K recording for 830), but then 640 and 640XL were announced, and we saw that both models have Lumia Camera 5 with rich capture and dynamic flash. Needless to say, neither 640 nor 640XL has a Pureview camera. So it's pretty unclear at this point which Lumias will get Lumia Camera 5 features and which won't.
TL;DR: If 735 doesn't get Lumia Camera 5 with rich capture and dynamic flash, I'm going for the 830 (although the price difference is about €50 in my country).
I can't decide between these 2. I don't care about the camera but I do care about the sd card. And in my country the 930 costs €100 more.
Windows phone has GREATLY improved. Would definitely be my second mobile OS.
Does Michael F. write this? Sounds like something he would say in his videos.
930 and 830 are great phones, but I don't like 830 because I have a 730, better display and battery live over 830 for 30% less price, in my opinion the 830 don't have appeal.
exactly my point, price for 830 is just too high, add another 50-60$ and you can get a 930 (at least in my country) so if you want a lumia, it's either 730/735 or go for 930/1520.
I have the Lumia 735, I bought him for 199 Euros. For the price it is perfect, even against the Moto G (hardware department)
The 830 has things that your 730 doesn't have to justify the price difference.
-Wireless charging
-Higher megapixel camera
-Optical image stabilisation (ois)
-4g antenna
-Bigger screen although same resolution
-Aluminium body
-Double the hard drive space at 16gb although both have sd slot
- Dedicated camera button
-Uses a nano sim card instead of micro
-Glance screen
-Dolby audio certified/better audio chip.
Still though, your 730 is a great phone for the price! and has some of its own benefits like dual sim slots, 5mp front camera and has slightly better battery life... although they have the same battery.
Dinu Ciobanu Where are you from buddy, and what would be the price for the 1520 in your country?
Jurgen Ibro Republic of Moldova, and no one sells 1520 in here. But 930 is around 520$ while 830 is 460$.
there was a time when our carrier had 5 different models on display ...then they stopped displaying them altogether lol
I need an advice. I am deciding between these two, what is important for me: camera,
handling, durability... 830 has probably a bit better camera, pictures
seem to be more appealing (hard to say why...), it has glance, it is better to handle in my opinion.
Where i live, prices are the same-144eur, 2yr contract. I don't know
which one to pick(?)
+TheManMJJ lumiaconversationsuk.microsoft.com/2014/10/24/nokia-lumia-930-and-lumia-830-pureview-camera-hands-on/ it is difference between cameras
i prefer 830 tbh
You said 930 has your favourite camera, but quick question, is it even better than the Lumia 1020? I was thinking about just getting a used one on eBay for camera purposes.
It isn't better than L1020 in terms of picture quality. And that's ut. 1020 is slow to capture photo, doesnot have 5 mics as 930, cant go high as 4K in 930. For overall aspects, 930 is better camera phone than 1020 for most of the people.
You wrongly spell 128 gigs as 228 gigs..... but anyways your posts are commendable...
4K requires a 8.3MP and the 830 has 10MP. There must be some other reason.
Jaime you review it like a lecturer ,I mean in the good way, you can make it to Massachusetts.
Any camera with more than 8.3 mp can do 4k, only 8.3 mp is necessary. The problem is hardware, SD 400 SoC can only do up to 1080p!
your voice is so deep and good I really can't keep up with what you are sayin xD #NoHomo
The bands for internet conection is a pain in Lumia devices. But it is mainly because of cuting costs and different regions.
That said, it is also a big pain not to have a full top feature rich flagship. The fact that the 830 has sd card expansion and glance mode while the 930 does not, is really bad. Come on Microsoft, I am waiting for the 940, no compromises please.
What? The 830 is stuttering? The 820 (!!) is not with an S4 Pro, with newest available software.
WP is getting heavy.
Great phones... WP is great!!! Love my Lumia 1520...
Well for me Lumia 830 isn't choppy pretty much... I can hardly see lags in mine for some reason...
If there is only left these two devices in WP, 830 would be the bed choice.
Too bad his 830 didn't get the latest build of Denim with the new Lumia Camera to do a proper comparison between then. Then we would've seen a clash of titans. Of sorts :D.
Can't wait for Windows 10 to bring the awesome Lumia Camera to all Windows Phones.
Lumia phones mostly are very well built and very good looking. damn.
i would buy a windows phone but barbecue of the lack of app support compared to android but since that android apps are on the horizon it looks like there might be some chance for windows to take a shine in the stand
app situation is a massive overhype
its no longer the case atleast once you take snapchat and a few games out of the equation
i suggest you see if your fav apps are present on the windows phone store site
aha i know a barbecued windows phone would be nice :P got to love auto correct with swift key ....
The cameras on all Lumia phones are well above their class. I wish the new sea of high end phones coming with windows 10 lives up.
I have the 830 and it's cool :3
The camera is amazing, but I prefer the Lumia 1520 anyday :)
somehow i still feel like, i should have waited for the 830, but then, i am enjoying the advantage of the 930 over the 830 despite their price difference.
I think you got turned around, Jaime. AMOLED does NOT do glance mode. Only IPS screens are capable of it. All IPS Lumias have glance. Also, you must be offput by the size of the 1520, because you'd have glance, and expandable microSD, with the same 20MP camera, if you chose that phone. I love my 1520. Never had trouble pocketing it, or anything, with or without a case. The phone is drop dead sexy, too.
WINDOWS 10 BETA PREVIEW will be available the next week ... :)
But neither of them work on T-Mobile USA.
when he mentioned 4K video recording that did it for me!!!!! love taking photos videos so making this to be a one to get id ditch my iPhone 6, all i see in iPhone is a price tag not specs anymore manufacturers make far more superior smartphones that has its capabilities that matter to the consumer market. before mentioning it that iPhone is poor my opinion on them are Good taking photos and video, whats the point on speed when accuracy is lacking in them
PTO
offline mapping never need to use data, how amazingly helpful.... cortana is the way now shame its on bing only
My 830's camera stopped working. -_-
Only if Lumia 930 had better battery life and was a bit cold while using.
Windows phone has beast battery life I seen on a photo me android and iOS could give a day or more of battery life
I swear this videos was made for me
as of now all wps have all latest update....... my 830 and 1020 both run on 8.1 update 2 with rich capture camera on 830...........never mind the 4K
I'm getting the 830 over the 930, what do you think?
+Bashar A. me too
920 has glance, IPS display. 1520 has glance, IPS display. Even 720 has glance and once again, it's IPS display.
Nokia getting a piece of that limelight!
and its just the difference with megapixel count........ rest the optics are same....... OIS, carl zeiss, 6 lens........... awesome........ androids cant come this far.......
both are at the mark but in design L 830 is good & in performance L 930 is BEST..
The Glance screen feature comes in ALL Lumias except 930 hahaha
0M9H4X They do I think, you just have to turn it on.
530, 730, 735 don't have Glance Screen either.
sic22l It's crazy that the 520, 620, and 720 all have Glance screen but not the newer Lumias you mentioned.
Muyanzi Reid It's not crazy, it's bisness. Displays with memory function are more expensive and they get even more expensive when your competitor wants to buy them.
The 520 doesn't have a glance screen
the 830 looks like a more premium phn :3
what will the cost of lumia 930
It dead
@scheldon202 I agree 😊
nevermind 4k or lumia camera........... use proshot..... awesome one
I don't get it. My sister has got Lumia 735. Lumia Denim was out-of-the-box and Lumia Camera app is working great. I believe, that 735' screen is much better, than 830. It's also 720p, but 4,7' (PPI over 300) and it's AMOLED (without glance mode, which is also apparent on my fathers 920 with IPS display), which is gorgeous. 735 also use Snapdragon 400 and 1GB of RAM. There is only 8GB of storage, but you can use an SD card up to 128GB. In my opinion, a 735 is a better buy over an 830.
The screen is a matter of personal preference of course - I greatly prefer the 830's IPS LCD over any AMOLED - partly because of my dislike of AMOLED's over-saturated colors, but also because of IPS's greater sharpness (because no pentile display). For me, that outweighs AMOLED's advantages (viewing angles and deeper blacks). Choosing between the 735 and 830 was a tough one, but I'm very happy with my 830 now. Apart from the screen, glance and a more pleasant form factor were what did it for me (FYI, at the time the 735 was 250 euros, the 830 just under 300 euros, and the 930 almost 400 euros in my country).
Nice video, although im used to jaime speaking fasrteRrr
I tried 930 . Now I have 1520 .
