We approach this audit of the Nokia Lumia 830 with a tinge of trouble; in spite of the fact that the Nokia DNA will live on in Microsoft's future cell phones, this is could well be the last time we survey a Nokia-marked gadget. It's to some degree humorous, then, that in spite of the fact that it is the remnant of a withering species, the Lumia 830 imprints several firsts: its the first new handset we've seen to come preloaded with Windows Phone 8.1, and its the first in the UK to run Cortana, Microsoft's adaptation of a Siri-style computerized partner.In the same vein as the Windows working framework with which it meets expectations, the Nokia Lumia reach has been based on an establishment of visual straightforwardness. The 830 is the same, with clear, rich lines.Not at all like almost 5in telephones that can tend to feel a bit inconvenient, the Lumia 830 feels well-thoroughly considered. It's sensibly thin, the screen is sufficiently reduced to be usable one-gave, and it has recently enough weight to issue it a satisfying strength.

The casing is strong aluminum, which gives the handset a tough vibe, and the etched Gorilla Glass 3 garnish on the front is a decent touch too. This telephone feels constructed to last. The splendid plastic backplate may not be to your taste, yet its tradable for distinctive hues, and underneath it sits a microSD opening and a client replaceable battery.Gloating a 10-megapixel determination, optical picture adjustment and 1080p feature catch, it looks great on paper.It performs well, as well, catching brilliant, sensibly clean pictures in low light, and decently uncovered, point by point photos when the conditions are more ideal. A two-stage cam catch makes it simple to in a split second flick to the cam application and snap off a couple of quick shots, and it contrasts well and its fundamental adversary, the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact, regardless of the last's much higher-determination sensor. The main real thing missing is an in-assembled HDR mode.Video quality is better than average also, with especially great picture adjustment, yet it does have a tendency to victory highlights pretty severely. This is especially diverting in case you're attempting to catch footage inside, where there are extremes of light and dull.
