Lumia 830 has a very easy damaging touchscreen. To fix a broken touchscreen, you need to replace LCD+touchscreen = 170 Euro and warranty does not apply. Gorilla Glass 3 is a totall shit. My old HTC 7 Mozart was dropped much more times, and Lumia 820 also survived more seriouse drops. Lumia 830 was dropped from about 10 cm on wooden floor.

Satish , 25 Nov 2014Why would I buy this phone when I have option like nexus 5,... moreNexus 5? Procession?
L830 is focusing faster while making a better shots with perfect WB

Nexus 5 has the worst camera of all existing snap800 devices, nobody else is pairing that bad camera with such expensive SoC

And you get TWICE more screen hours on battery on L830 compairing to N5

In Canada L830 is $400 (just launched), Nexus 5 (16GB) is $500 (after 1 year in sale). Camera/video in L830 better. I have L830, memory installed 16+64GB. Processing power? never enough and depends on your habits. But overall Win OS is not so thirsty on power as Android is. L830 build quality impeccable. Next, in restaurant you eat what you do like, and don't care about food of your neighbor. From my experience with L830 it's perfect companion (considering experience with iOS and Android) because it match my needs. I hope Nexus 5 is what will make you happy.

Why would I buy this phone when I have option like nexus 5, which is way better phone in teens of camera, procession, build quality and cheaper than by 4-5k. You need to understand that the Nokia success in Asia were based on providing cheaper phones with great durability to consumer.

Impressive review as always. One small thing, the "downsampled PureView" shots from the Nokia Lumia 1020 aren't 8MP, but 5MP. Still great results though.

Do you run Lumia Denim? It makes big difference for "Desktop" and how it looks and performs. But in general appearance it's personal taste and could be out of argues. The important things are performance, functionality, ergonomics, time to get application you need, multifunction (may be I forgot smt) and then UI that serve for that purpose. WP8.1 Demin serves this well and appearance distinctive, unique , I would say more masculine than "girlish" :) WP evolving in it own way, it is good that ppl has choice to get platform, that fit better there personality and functionality vision.

yow, 21 Nov 2014Still the lumia 1520 is the best windows phone yet the soft... moreAsphalt 8 is free on store from its launch, mostly Xbox games are paid version so don't confuse with that. Official instagram is available on store but 6tag can do better job...

Still the lumia 1520 is the best windows phone yet the software wasnt able to justify its hardware. The lack of customization and appearance of the windows os was the reason why they are lagging behind ofcourse the availability of apps too. For example: Imagine google offers asphalt 8 for free, while windows offer it for 1$.idk if they offer it for free right now cause its dated. ridiculous!and still they dont have official youtube and instagram. Why dont they bring back the windows desktop software just like before. If im not mistaken like the palms, why dont they use windows desktop And add more features! Instead of insisting this boring operating system.they want simplicity but still it looks more complicated than ios. I hope they change their os style. And not just catched up updates.
