Expert Analysis

Nokia Lumia 830 comes off as a rather peculiar package, the camera technology is one of the best among the industry and build quality is also top notch. There’s nothing to hate about the Nokia Lumia 830. It is one of the very few devices that can claim that title. Pricing could use a little help though considering the fact that Android competitors are catching up to provide a seamless user experience like Nokia does.
