I am using Lumia 730 for the last one week. I was using Lumia 520 before and I was badly looking for an upgrade. I will give you a detailed review in the perspective of a user.
730 is a really good upgrade from its predecessor – 720. Just like 720 even 730 sports a good design with more added design elements and specifications.
730 almost looks similar to old Lumia 920. But 730 is just 8.8 mm thin and it’s easy to hold. The screen size and quality has undergone a massive change. 730 sports clear black display with 720 p resolution and corning gorilla glass 3. Viewing angles are just awesome. The screen looks slightly taller but you can easily navigate through the screen using single hand.
Camera: It sports a 6.7 Zeiss optics camera and a 5 MP front facing camera which is the USP of the device. Both the cameras produce stunning images especially in low lights. Also both the camera have full hd recording capability. Even Skype calling is a good experience with this new 5 MP camera.
Battery: It has 2200 mAh battery which easily gives you more than 15 hours of mixed usage ( 3g / music / calling and more). But I have found a problem with the charger they have provided in the box in India. They provide AC20 charger in India, whereas abroad it is AC60. Using AC20 it will take more than 2 hours to get fully charged, but if you AC60 it will be done in an hour or less than that.
Screen: Like I said above it has good quality screen for the price along with clear black display. Also, 730 has on screen navigation keys – where you can match the navigation pane colour with phone’s accent colour, background or keep it as just black. With Denim update preinstalled in 730 you can customize your screen in many ways like you can create live folders on the screen. Also Microsoft Garage has released a lock screen widget called ‘Tetra’ where you can add widgets to your lock screen.
Mix Radio: You need to create a new Nokia id to use Mix Radio or you can log in using fb / google. Mix Radio offers unlimited downloads of songs of any language and genres. The phone comes with a free 3 months subscription.
Cons I have found ( Not deal breakers)
1. Double tap to wake is not functioning properly. It is not a hardware issue since it has been reported in all new 730 and 830 models. An update should resolve the issue.
2. There is minor purple tint on the screen whenever you scroll through settings menu or navigate between apps. This is barely visible and comes only when you use low brightness profile or black background.
3. Dedicated camera physical key is missing, but they have compromised it with the brilliant camera features included in the phone including ‘living images and so on’.
4. The colour options available for the phones are pretty bad. Only white and green will please you. Grey looks old and orange is very fluorescent.
At this price this phone is a good take. It has smooth app multitasking, no loading – resuming screen mainly coz of 1 GB RAM and Snapdragon 400 processor. I have played almost all high end games and there were no lags visible. Also there is no heating up issue compared to other phones.
Inside the box – you get :
• Phone
• Charger
• Earphones
• User manual
USB cable has to be purchased separately. It is available for 150 INR in Nokia stores.
And its now second rank in GSMARENA daily rankings :)

AnonD-325801, 07 Nov 2014This not eye problem dude my friend also facing same issue.then try the same question in moto g forum, coz i knew a half dozen people using moto g(2013) and 3 - 4 moto g(2014) users they didn't ever mention such problem.
try in moto g forum you might get some solution, coz your eye is paining its not a problem, may b heavy usage or gaming, but you mentioned that even you brain is paining i thought that might be some serious issue, coz that's not common.

Purchased a new Lumia 730 DS on 18 Oct 2014 and the next day it had display issue (screen kept blinking). Contacted Nokia Care Centre and Nokia Support team through e-mail and Live Chat but no problem resolution. Thinking of filing a consumer complaint as they are delaying and I am suffering. Otherwise the device is the best. Super silky touch experience.
Any advices pls?
