Microsoft's Lumia 830 is now available in the UK

Well, that didn't take long. Just a day after it let Brits begin ordering the Lumia 735, Microsoft's now making it's more powerful sibling, the Lumia 830, available too. Billed as an "affordable flagship," the Lumia 830 delivers PureView imaging thanks to its 10-megapixel camera, a 5-inch 720p display, a 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 400 and a 2,200mAh battery. Oh, and it's also running Windows Phone 8.1, which brings with it Cortana and lots of camera improvements. Microsoft says that EE, Vodafone, Dixons Carphone, Amazon and Tesco will range the device from today, although only Amazon (£327) is showing pricing for the handset. However, we're told the device will be available from £24.99 on contract, once carriers begin adding it to their stores.
