Nokia Lumia 830

I have a Lumia 830, and it is one of my favorite phones. I've kept it on Windows 8.1 denim because that is a stable and mature OS (ignore Win10 Mobile). The UI is smooth and responsive, and homescreen is highly customizable. I've posted many photos of multiple sizes as tiles on the homescreen to give it a unique and fun look. Battery life is solid, battery is removable, call quality is good, and the smaller form factor is one that I prefer in this age of oversized, fragile phablets. I installed very few apps on the phone, so the poor Windows apps store doesn't bother me. I can make do mostly with what is already on the phone, and I don't use social media, either.
You'll get more OS updates on iOS. You'll have more apps on Android. Blackberry gives you a physical keyboard. But if you want a true NOKIA Lumia phone, try the 830, or 1520 (probably the best all-around Win8 phone), or 1020 (awesome camera that still holds up today).

This is by far the best phone I've had the chance to work with in regards to internal hardware components and software implementation, going from Windows Phone 8.1 to Windows Phone 10, was like turning on the main light in your living room and switching off that desk lamp that could barley light the room. I found it to be by far more consistent, performing and overall better. Just the adition of IE Edge implemented makes such a HUGE difference, I can view websites in their full view or their mobile view and lag, at least when everything in the page is compatible. To all those that have issues with their camera. I've learned too many times, the hard way that backing up you're phone is a must. So, backup your data, restore to factory defaults' and download latest update for windows phone, once installed, restore again your phone (as it will use the newly downloaded and updated Windows data and remove any residue from the update process, such as temp files). After which, you can restore your data using the internet settings options. Update Facebook and any other social apps that you may have before doing any picture uploads.

830 has 2 advantages, I love its camera quailty, captured quite natural photo. Second one is the speaker quality, very clear and loud, could be the one of the best out there. Sadly, the camera not working, maybe will send to repair in future.

Window Phone 8.1 though is still good, Windows could have built on that and improved it over time but they didn't.
Obviously main problem now is no more support and not many apps left so you have to go Android.

"Not Android level?" Seriously? All you have to do is take one look at the amateurish cartoon level icons on an Android device to know that Windows phones far out class them. Stay tuned for the release of the new Microsoft Surface Dual Screen Foldable Smartphone soon.

If you have problems with this phone just reset it. Not android level but the camera is unreal.

Boarding pass apps for plane flights etc. Ive bought some poor products over the years but nothing compares to this absolute chunk of garbage. I wouldn't have the heart to offer this phone for free with a payed for plan to a homeless person as it would send them off the nearest bridge. I pray for a day where all Lumia owners can gather together for a final burning at the stake of this menace to modern society.

Owned 2 Lumia phones with the 830 the last and what I'm writing on now. . It was the worst phone experiences I have ever had in my life . Very buggy, limited apps , always crashing when uploading videos to my Instagram ...only good part was that I was so angry many times over with the crashing that I kept on punching the screen as hard as a I could and just couldn't crack it, so I give 10/10 for the screen , but I managed to bend it with my knee and it still works..no joke this phone has given me grey hairs. The Lumia phones are so bad the even windows has given up on it. I saved enough money to buy myself a android this weekend, can't wait. . When I get home the Lumia will meet my friend "The Hammer" .

Why do people update to w10? Just for fanciness? It brings nothing to the phone. As for the phone itself it's perhaps the best choices of Lumia phones if you don't mind the low sound volume when calling. It has capacitive buttons, optical video stabilization, good touch screen, good size and weight, wireless charger, camera button. Even more important it's a well made phone that doesn't have issues like other Lumia phones.
