Following the announcement of their Lumia Denim, Nokia showed off the first phone which will include the software update.
Nokia is positioning the 8XX line as upper mid-range. The Lumia 830 has a 5″ 720p display powered by a Qualcomm 400 series quad-core. The rear shooter scales back to a 10MP shooter which supports 1080p video and includes optical image stabilization. While there’s only 16GB of storage built in, it will include a MicroSD card slot unlike its bigger brother the 930.
It also retains a lot of the design language we current enjoy, a metal frame with a polycarb back which will come in white, black, orange, or green. It’s a nice aesthetic touch, not punishing consumers who opt for the less expensive models.
The Lumia 830 will be available this month with an expected launch price of 330EUR. You can see Nokia’s teaser vid below, and their full PR after the jump.
Launched today, and oozing high-end style and performance, we welcome the thinnest and lightest family member to land all of our flagship innovation and experiences, the Lumia 830.
Our affordable flagship, the Lumia 830, comes with a rear-facing 10MP PureView camera with ZEISS optics and the thinnest and lightest Optical Image Stabilization system we’ve ever built; letting you capture razor-sharp images day or night. You can also bring your memories to life with Living Images, which adds movement and emotions in every picture you take.
Packing in Nokia Rich Recording, with three high performance mics delivering true 5.1 surround sound, and Nokia Camera delivering distortion-free and full bandwidth stereo recording, the Lumia 830 delivers a flagship imaging and innovation without the flagship price tag.
What’s more, the over-the-air Lumia Camera update will introduce even faster pocket to shot, and shooting speeds, plus cool new capture features to ensure you’ll never miss a moment.
Continuing the Lumia design legacy, the stylish Lumia 830 will be available in bright orange, bright green, white and black. At just 8.5mm thin, it’s our thinnest and lightest Lumia to date, with metal and polycarbonate that screams premium design, durability and performance.
Powered by a 1.2GHz Snapdragon quad-core processor, prepare yourself for faster and smoother web browsing and gaming action on the sharp five-inch ClearBlack display, which offers readability in sunlight and feels great thanks to super-sensitive touch technology with Curved Gorilla 3.0 glass.
The onboard 16GB memory will take care of your storage needs with further support for 128GB via a microSD slot. And, of course, you also get 15GB of free OneDrive cloud storage, which makes it super easy to share your stunning, photos and videos with friends and family securely.
The powerful 2200mAh removable battery, with a standby time of up to 22 days, will give you enough reasons to talk and stay connected. When it’s time to juice it up, the Lumia 830 can be easily connected to the smart Nokia Wireless Charging plate (DT-903), which intelligently alerts you to charge your device, or informs you about the unread notifications and missed calls by way of a subtle blinking light.
Like a true Windows Phone 8.1 phone, the Lumia 830 comes pre-loaded with exciting features such as Notification Center, Live Tiles, Microsoft Office, Cortana, OneDrive and exciting range of apps that sync across devices so you can pick up where you left off.
And for fitness fanatics, the low-power motion-sensing technology, SensorCore, will track your movements and location even while your Lumia 830 is fast ‘asleep’ when paired with apps like Bing Health and Fitness, and Adidas miCoach.
A whole host of leading apps, such as Instagram, Vine, Shazam and many more can all be downloaded from the ever-expanding Windows Phone Store.
Lumia 830 will come pre-loaded with the brand-new Lumia Denim update, which brings Live Folders, Apps Corner, an updated Glance screen and more secure networking to Windows 8.1 Lumia devices.
The Lumia 830 is expected to be available in September around the world and is estimated to be priced at around 330EUR before taxes and subsidies.
