The Lumia 830 has a 5-inch 720p ClearBlack LCD Curved (2.25D) display with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 on top with protection. It has a 1-megapixel front-facing camera, capacitive touch buttons below the display and runs on the latest Windows Phone 8.1 OS with Lumia Denim update. On the inside it has a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor with 1GB RAM.
The main highlight is the smartphone’s 10-megapixel PureView camera with Zeiss optics and optical image stabilization. The smartphone has solid build quality and has metal frame on the sides.
It has a secondary microphone on the back and a large speaker grill. It comes in bright colors similar to most Lumias, that includes, bright orange that you see above, bright green, white and black.
Since this is a camera-centric Lumia phone, it has a dedicated camera button. It also has the volume rockers and the power button on the right side.
On the top there is a 3.5mm audio jack and a micro USB slot. The bottom and the left side of the smartphone are plain, without any buttons.
The back cover is removable. Under the back cover, there is a nano SIM card slot and a microSD card slot that accepts cards up to 128GB. It has 16GB of internal storage. It also has NFC support and built-in wireless charging capabilities.
The smartphone packs a 2200mAh battery and even comes with 4G connectivity. Priced at 330 Euros, the Lumia 830 would roll out starting this September.
