It's tough being the middle child. Stuck in the middle of the notoriously slow-to-change Windows Phone lineup, the Nokia Lumia 830 doesn't have an impulse-buy price or spectacular performance to set it apart. It's also suffering from a weird AT&T...

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...

Display is just decent, CPU and graphics aren't for hardcore gamers...
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 Nokia Lumia 830 is starting to hit store shelves worldwide, including the widespread availability in Canada starting today on Rogers, Telus, and Fido. Depending on where you fall on your phone usage and expectations, the Lumia 830 may be a practical u...

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...

The Lumia 830 is Nokia's last midrange effort before its entire smartphone business was gobbled up, and rebranded as Microsoft Lumia. Nevertheless, the handset will be updated to the unifying Windows 10 when it lands later this year, so it is far from ir...

While a very decent Windows Phone device, the Nokia Lumia 830 has a steep hill to climb against midrange Androids with its current price bordering on 300 USD or EUR. Windows Phone 8.1 is now a better mobile OS, and the Lumia 830 is promised for a Windows...

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...

Microsoft has been working hard to crack the smartphone market with its Windows phone. The Lumia 830 is an affordable mid-range phone with a 5" screen and 720p resolution — for comparison, most high-end phones have 1080p or higher, so the Lumia's display...

I had a chance to use a Nokia Lumia 830 for a couple weeks as part of Microsoft's #ConnectsTrial program based out of the UK. I'll be giving my thoughts in a series of articles, this being the first – the Nokia Lumia 830 review. In the second I'll take a...

The Nokia Lumia 830 is a solid mid-range phone. While Windows Phone is nowhere near as popular as Android or iOS, it was easy to use and ran well. The camera in the Nokia Lumia 830 really shines as well, so if decent mobile photos are high on your list of...
