Microsoft calls the Lumia 830 an 'affordable flagship'. We presume this means that this phone has all the features a flagship smartphone like the Lumia 1020 (Review | Pictures) should have, but is much less expensive. Two phones that immediately come to mind when we talk about truly affordable flagship smartphones are the Xiaomi Mi 3 (Review | Pictures) and the OnePlus One.It will be a tall order for Microsoft's new phone to be as disruptive as those two have been.
Nokia Lumia 830 Summary
In what can be clearly deemed as an effort to sell a camera disguised as a smartphone, Nokia created the Lumia 830. A smartphone running the latest Windows 8.1 software with a special Lumia update called Denim, which adds cool features to the 10-megapixel PureView camera. We captured some stunning shots and were generally floored by the performance of this camera. The performance of the phone otherwise is more than satisfactory and like Microsoft calls it, is truly an ‘affordable flagship’. Buy it if you can live willing to live with an ecosystem that is still a fair way behind the competition.

Its a very solid phone and showcases Windows 8 very wellCorey Hardin (Apr 2, 2015) on Gadgets 360I upgraded from a 520 which I actually did really like after my kids destroyed my S3. At first I was a little miffed about the app selection, but its getting better. So, when it came time to upgrade I went with the 830. It is a very well designed phone. The screen is bright and sharp and this is a little odd but I Iove the feel of the screen. The construction is also very good, its a solid phone, the only knock I have on it is the back cover is terribly flimsy and sometimes hard to snap in . The overall performance of the phone is very snappy. Windows 8 (Denim Update) runs like silk and apps open quickly. The only oddity in peformanceIs this review helpful?
