Nokia Lumia 830 – a short test 5-calowca with Windows Phone 8.1 – PCLab.pl



Nokia Lumia 830 – a test

Nokia Lumia 830 during the official presentation was boldly compared by the creators of such models, as the Samsung Galaxy S5 and Apple iPhone 5s. They tried to emphasize that the new smartphone Microsoft provides great functionality at a reasonable price. It sounds interesting, but quite misses to the practice, because Lumii 830 in terms of performance and equipment much closer to the new Motorola Moto G flagship amended than genuine, which is to be the Lumia 930. On the other hand, not widely known that digits is not everything and that they do not determine whether a phone is worth the money or not. As it so it is with the Lumia 830?

Nokia Lumia 830

The Lumia 820 puts on plastic, colorful and rounded enclosure, which can be easily replaced, and the Lumia 830 is impressive and robust equipment belonging to some higher-end, mainly due to the metal frame, giving the whole structure incredible stiffness and a pinch of smartfonowego dignity. Her lump gently reminds us of the Lumia 930, but does not lack its own character, mainly due to the specific (and somewhat controversial) coating the rear camera, reminiscent of … Lumia 1520 (maybe this character is not the end of the self;) ).

The Nokia Lumia 830 may be appealing, especially lovers of gadgets decent who are not afraid of a few extra millimeters here and there. Not forgotten the followers of interchangeable colored covers, but this time change can be “only” the back cover, not the entire housing, as in the older model. The whole makes good first impression in the hand quite well, is made of quality materials, and glass front is nicely rounded edges.

However, not everything went perfectly. We have a minor objections to fold back the flap with metal frame, because you can see a clear gap between them (especially in the lower part). Maybe this is the affliction of our copy, but rather we feel that just fine snaps back flip they develop a little faster than they should, which fail to comply adequately with the task.

Windows Phone 8.1 allows you to create smartphones without characteristic of this system row of three buttons under the screen, but fortunately Lumii 830 of them abandoned. Metal buttons for volume and locking system and a two-level shutter button, located on the right edge of the chassis are tuned to near perfection and the use of them is a pleasure, to the next higher class Lumie us have had time to get used to. The micro-USB port and headphone inserted on the upper side, and very clearly indicating the notifications speaker mounted in the lower part of the back. All of these elements are not in any way unique or surprising, but you can not fault them, because excel perfectly, which is already a kind of success.

The rear flap is removed much more easily than colored frustules Lumii 820 and everyone will guess right away what he should do to insert a SIM card, and it was not so obvious in that moment before a forerunner. Under the flap and what is most important: replaceable battery with a capacity of 2200 mAh, card slot and a micro-SD card slot nano-SIM. So everything is in its place.

In short, the Lumia 830 is a solid smartphone that should appeal to lovers of existing Lumii, because he has them very much in common. The more that at some point the designers of the brand have learned a little better use of space, so the novelty, despite the 5-inch screen is manageable from 4.5-inch Lumii 920;) The quality of workmanship and ergonomics actually could be compared to that which provides a lot more expensive models, although peculiarly “cased” the camera does not appeal to everyone. We seem slight triumph of form over substance.

briefly about the software, communications and multimedia

Of course, the Lumia 830 is based on a tiled platform, Windows Phone 8.1, which is not too plenty of room for any big differences between the devices. The user immediately knows what will his eyes when you first start your new phone. Therefore, at this point we will only mention two things associated with this system and described the Lumia: for platform Microsoft Health and stability.

Now all manufacturers want to keep their smartphones aided physical activity users, and virtually everyone has some idea on this. Microsoft also wants to participate in this race, as evidenced by the platform Microsoft Health . In Lumii 830 dealt with the right program and a built-in pedometer, which is probably a regular part of the new phones. Fitness tool except that it works with pedometer and compiles data supplied by him, to capture taken and calories burned, and track their activity, and provides a set of tips on what exercises to do and how to achieve the desired effect. The objective is to communicate with bands and watches similar to Microsoft’s Band, so you can see that the Redmond giant is taking it seriously and trying to develop a comprehensive solution for athletes and people who would like them to be used, but which for some reason still fails;)



Subject stability problems comes back to us like a boomerang every time you test a new Lumia, based on newer versions of Windows Phone, as if Microsoft and Nokia duo had difficulty with fine tune the equipment. Unfortunately, the Lumia 830 is sometimes chimerical and during the test many times it happened to us that the browser itself, excluded, or at some point in the system recognize that we need to look at closely kafelkom, rather than combined with the change of tone. Once or twice we also happened to randomly reboot. Knowing life, some packages will update everything to order, but it is surprising how regularly new Lumie suffer from any ailments of childhood, although theoretically platform should be stable and refined due to their relatively closed nature.

O connectivity and multimedia hard to write us something more than that the smartphone in this respect does not disappoint and does not stand out either positively or negatively. We saw no major problems with range, the handset provides a decent volume and sound quality, and headphone output is sufficient (although its volume and tone a little inferior equipment direct rivals). It lacks a video output, Wi-Fi version of ac and a few other small things, but most users will not encounter the bigger problems.
