The Lumia 930 , the new phablet from the Finnish company, was unveiled just a couple of days ago , along with the slightly smaller Lumia 630 and 635. While we already had a glimpse of them in a promotional video, we can now get a better look at them in a first-hand video review . Here it is.
There had been talk for quite some time about Nokia 's project to bring a slightly more manageable version of its fantastic phablet, the Lumia 1520 , to stores , and its debut finally took place this week: the Lumia 930 arrives as the successor to the Lumia 920 and Lumia 925, but with a Full HD screen and a boost in technical specifications.
Hands-on with the Lumia 930
The video isn't exclusively dedicated to the Lumia 930 ; in the first part, we can take a look at Nokia 's other new smartphones , so those of you only interested in the new Finnish phablet should skip directly to around minute 3.
Of course, the initial hands-on begins with a thorough examination of its design , with considerable emphasis on the quality of the finish. It's undeniable (a hallmark of Finnish design) that, compared to other smartphones with similarly sized screens, it's somewhat bulkier, although it's worth noting that it's significantly lighter than it appears. While we can also appreciate the screen's image quality , we'll have to wait for more in-depth analysis to test the brightness and other aspects (although, considering the Lumia 1520 's strong performance in these areas, we have no doubt that the Lumia 930 won't disappoint either).
It will go on sale with a price of 600 dollars
As we mentioned yesterday , the technical specifications of the Lumia 930 will fall slightly behind the Galaxy S5 and the Xperia Z2 in processor (with a Snapdragon 800 instead of a Snapdragon 801 ), although it has in its favor, for photography lovers, a 20 MP camera with optical image stabilization (mechanical, not digital) and a slightly lower price ( $600 ).
