Engadget Review
The Lumia 930 is arguably the best Windows Phone on the market, with a brilliant camera and top-end specs. It's also an improvement over the US version, the Lumia Icon, thanks to broader LTE band support and a free wireless charger in the box.

It's also an improvement over the US version, the Lumia Icon, thanks to broader LTE band support and a free wireless charger in the box.CNET80The best Windows Phone device to buy right nowThe Nokia Lumia 930 has most of what you'd expect from a top-end Windows Phone device. It's battery lets it down though and with an unimpressive selection of apps still available from the Windows Phone store, a high-end Android device with a good camera will likely be a better option for many of you.Laptop Magazine70Nokia Lumia 930 Reviewf you're tempted by the prospect of owning a Windows Phone, then chances are you'll like the Nokia Lumia 930.Tom's HardwareNot RatedNokia Lumia 930 and Lumia 635 Hands-OnNokia continues to show its prowess in photo capabilities. The Lumia 930's 20 MP camera includes many of the algorithms and other optimizations from devices like the Lumia 1020, with its 41 MP camera.Laptop MagazineNot RatedNokia Lumia 930 Hands-On: Bright Display, PowerfulIn our brief time with the device, moving around the UI and launching apps was smooth and seamless. The phone packs a 2,420 mAh battery which Nokia says will provide up to 9 hours of video playback.EngadgetNot RatedThe Nokia Lumia 930 is a global version of the IcoUltimately, Nokia's latest high-end device takes the Lumia Icon and resolves a lot of our primary concerns with it: it now has global LTE and HSPA+ for international users around the world, it comes in more colors and isn't limited to just one specific carrier.The Guardian80Nokia Lumia 930 review: the best Windows Phone yetOverall, the Lumia 930 is a solid phone, but not a remarkable one. Worth buying if you’re looking for something different, but there are better smartphones around for the same amount of money.Pocket-Lint90Nokia Lumia 930 reviewThis is one that will divide the crowd, but is a device that can't be ignored for its positives and its aspirations. Whether it can be so highly praised in two months' time from now is another matter, but right now this is the best Windows Phone device that money can buy.Wired UKNot RatedNokia Lumia 930 announced: hands-on previewWith a 5-inch Full HD OLED screen made with Gorilla Glass 3, which Nokia claims is its brightest ever, the Lumia 930 is certainly a treat for the eyes. In our hands-on time with the phone it certainly looked extremely bright and crisp.Pocket-LintNot RatedNokia Lumia 930 pictures and hands-onWhile it might not be as natural in the hand as the 925, we can't say that the size really puts us off: it's a big phone, but we like it ... The 5-inch 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution display on the front - offering 441ppi - is lovely ... It's incredibly detailed and silky smooth to the touch.SlashGearNot RatedNokia Lumia 930 hands-on: Icon gets an internationThe 2.2GHz quadcore Snapdragon 800 chip and 2GB of memory have just as little problem running Windows Phone 8.1 as they did with its predecessor on the Icon, and things like the new homescreen wallpapers - which swim behind translucent Live Tiles - look incredible.The Verge70Nokia Lumia 930 and 630 reviewIt has competitive hardware, but the chubby and boring design just doesn’t stand up to the competition.TechRadar80A colourful handset that battles against Windows PThe Lumia 930 is the most complete Windows Phone to date. It's the first to properly challenge the flagship might of Android and iOS with its impressive design, new Windows Phone 8.1 software and all round decent specs.phoneArena90Nokia Lumia 930 ReviewWe found the Nokia Lumia 930 to be an excellent Windows Phone device.TechRadarNot RatedNokia's new flagship wants to play with the big boThe Nokia Lumia 930 is the most complete Windows Phone to date and it's the first to properly challenge the flagship might in the Android and iOS camps.Digital SpyNot RatedNokia Lumia 930 hands-on review: Looking good forThe screen is what catches your eye first. The 5-inch 1080p setup is one of the brightest and slickest that we have ever seen on a phone and has a super thin bezel that rivals that of the LG G2.phoneArenaNot RatedNokia Lumia 930 hands-onThe Lumia 930 is not really a "new" device. This is an Icon for the rest of you. The good news is that the Lumia 930 holds true to Nokia's overall build quality and functionality.TrustedReviews80Nokia Lumia 930 reviewThe Nokia Lumia 930 is another very good top-end Windows Phone from Nokia, but we'd like it to last a longer and be less chunky.The Register70Nokia Lumia 930: We reveal this Windows Phone's onThe Lumia 930 isn't a bad device by any means. It has superb build quality and its corporate-friendly features could see it sell in decent numbers. You wouldn't grumble if you were assigned one. But is that enough?The Next WebNot RatedHands-on with Nokia’s new 20-megapixel Lumia 930Although it uses the Microsoft Windows Phone 8.1 OS, it has taken some cues from the Nokia X in some sense – it’s considerably squarer to look at and hold than the rounded curves mostly found across the rest of the high-end Lumias, like the 1020 or 925.The InquirerNot RatedNokia Lumia 930 hands-on reviewWhile the Nokia Lumia 930 didn't immediately strike us as an exciting smartphone, our hands-on has convinced us otherwise, and we think that this could be the Finnish phone maker's most popular Windows Phone yet.V3Not RatedNokia Lumia 930 hands-on reviewOne of the Lumia 930's most interesting and potentially biggest selling points is its use of Microsoft's latest Windows Phone 8.1 (WP8.1) operating system. WP8.1 adds a variety of new features to Windows Phone.Expert ReviewsNot RatedNokia Lumia 930 review - hands onBuilt from a single block of aluminium, the Lumia 930 looks and feels stunning. Measuring 137x71x9.8mm and weighing 167g, its curved, rounded corners are incredibly comfortable to hold in one hand, and its solid aluminium frame has all the hallmarks of a high end handset.TrustedReviewsNot RatedNokia Lumia 930A good-looking, part-metal design (although we’re not sure about the green), an impressive-sounding camera and the reliable Windows Phone software make this a phone to consider if you simply don’t want an Android.

This still stands out and the specs are great.Display turns heads, if not the form factor itself.Camera, audio and multimedia are all best in class.Battery lasts the day but would have been better if you could make it last longer. Apps remain the main Achilles heel for Windows phones. Yes, you don't need them but, well, you need them.Engadget Reader90November 6, 2014Feedback submitted!Unable to submit feedback!Fantastic phone. Best photos I have ever seen from a smart phone. The interface is simple, informative and a pleasure to use. Easy to transfer my music and photos between devices.
