This phone is by far the best phone I have ever had the chance to own. The only thing that lacks is the App selection which doesn't really matter to me because all of the main apps are available such as YouTube, Netflix, IGN, Hulu, etc.
This is one solid phone, it feels like a lot of effort was put into the build quality. I really love the beveled glass on the screen. It makes the phone look and feel better than other phones.
The Nokia Lumia 930 gets great reception as well. It was pretty easy to see how much better it is because my fiance gets dropped calls consistently in certain spots in town (I did with my old phone too). These dropped calls seem as reliable as gravity in those spots. My Lumia 930 very rarely gets dropped calls in those locations! The call quality is great too, it is easy to hear on both ends of the spectrum (you and who ever you call).
Internet browsing is amazingly crisp and smooth. It works even better than my Samsung Tablet 2 10.1 inch! Searching for something on the web is as easy as tapping the search button on the bottom right corner of the phone or by asking Cortana.
You can easily stream music and videos in 1080p. I can certainly tell the picture quality is way better than previous/current phones. The camera is 20 megapixels, so the pictures look astounding. Not only that, but this camera has a wide array of selections for how to take the picture. The video is surprisingly good quality too, especially considering that there are 4 microphones placed all over the phone so you can get a surround sound effect to your videos. You will be pleasantly surprised by how loud the speakers are on this thing. They are louder than my laptop speakers, and have great sound quality too. Games and apps run really smooth on this phone due to its powerful quad -core snapdragon processor and 2GB of ram! This phone is beast! Another nice thing about this phone is how it connects to your computer. Looking through the files is easier than other phones. Windows even has a free security management site where you can send a signal to your phone to share its location via GPS if it ever gets lost or stolen!I thoroughly tested this "find my phone" service and I must say, I am impressed. You can ring your phone (even overrides silent mode), find it via GPS, lock your phone, and even erase your phone from your home computer. All of which is a free service and really does work.
The user interface is incredibly easy to use and looks great. Keep in mind that if you have never owned a windows phone, it will be a little confusing until you get use to it. Once you do, it will be hard to switch back to anything else.
I use this phone to do everything. Pictures, email, notes, navigation (Nokia had the best free navigation app in my opinion called here drive+), and more. Text input is smooth and easy. The spell check works great too. The phone memorizes how you structure sentences allowing you to select words above the keys instead of typing them out. I can type full texts sometimes this way in a matter of seconds.
As I said before, the display on this phone is outstanding with 1080p resolution. Its plenty bright and is surprisingly easy to see even outside.
The standby time lasts a very long time. The longest I have seen this phone last with minor use, no Wi-Fi on, was 26 hours with about 20% battery life left. I briefly browsed the web a few times, texted regularly, and made a call or two. Another thing that I love about the battery is that you can charge it with a wireless charge dock! It comes set up to do that unlike some phones that require you to buy other accessories to make it work.
Cortana is the best phone AI ever, multiple reviews of AI systems agree. It is so easy to search, schedule, navigate, etc. with Cortana.
Overall, this phone works amazingly well and I highly recommend it. I got the unlocked version from Amazon for less than an iPhone 6 by $500 or more. I personally think it out performs the iPhone too. On paper, it far out performs the IPhone 6 too. It is less restrictive and has a much better build quality to it. When you compare the specs, it's hard to see why people spend 2-3 times as much money for less power. Even the IPhone 6+ isn't as powerful. Here are the specs between the IPhone 6 and the Nokia Lumia 930:

I currently use mine for T-Mobile, but many sources say it works with the majority of phone companies (unlocked international version).

What is an unlocked phone?An unlocked phone is a device that is not bound to any carrier or plan. It allows you to choose your phone first and your carrier second. Upon selecting a plan, simply insert the carrier's SIM card into the phone and you're ready to go. If you decide you want to change carriers down the road or want to take an international trip, it's as simple as replacing your existing SIM card with a new SIM and activating your new plan. |
What are the benefits of an unlocked phone?Freedom: Choose the carrier with the best service or price. If you find a better deal later, you have the ability to change to a different carrier. Travel: Take your phone internationally and use the carrier of your choice. It's as easy as inserting an active SIM card. Selection: Choose the phone with the features you want, whether or not your carrier sells it, and get more service options without a contract. |
How do I set up my unlocked phone?The first thing you’ll need is a SIM card for your desired carrier. When activated, the SIM card will let your phone connect to your carrier’s network. If you decide to upgrade to a newer unlocked phone in the future, you can easily remove the SIM card from your old phone and put it in your new phone—just make sure you get the right size of SIM card (nano, micro, or standard) for your phone. If you want to use your phone while traveling internationally, you can easily buy a SIM card for a carrier that operates where you’re traveling. As long as it’s activated, you can just swap SIM cards when you arrive at your destination. |
