Nokia Lumia 930 - user opinions and reviews

Alright having recently bought the phone I can share my views of the phone in 2017:
1. The screen is absolutely stunning. The OS looks amazing, with insanely saturated colours. It can be compared to today's AMOLED phones like the S7-it's that good.
2. Overall phone performance was a little bit sluggish sometimes. 95% of the time is zips along but then there'd be the occasional frame drop, even when just going through the menu.
3. Above average camera (for 2017). It was a little slow sometimes but photos in decent lighting were spot on. When recording videos, the microphones live up to the hype. It is simply outstanding.
4. Battery life was pretty average, there is nothing much to say about that.
5. Only 25GB of storage is available to the user, without expansion capabilities.
6. Build quality is solid as well, but my matte black finish would show fingerprints quite clearly-the metal frame of the phone however, has that cold luxury when you pick it up.
Overall, it's a pretty decent phone for 2017. The Snapdragon 800 is huffing and puffing, but will get the job done for someone who isn't a power user. I especially enjoy that Word/Excel/Powerpoint is built in. However, I'd recommend it more as a secondary device rather than as a main unit, as the performance and storage deficiencies may be too much for some people to overlook.

I've been using this phone for more than 2 years now and it works perfectly.I play games a lot,but the battery lasts long enough.The only con is that pictures taken in low lighting are a bit grainy.And before I forget the sound is amazing.All in all this phone is great and I recommend it to everyone :)

AnonD-655115, 23 Mar 2017It's not fair to compare it to technology that's three years ahead. If you can find it for $30... moreThanks a lot, that was extremely detailed and exactly what I was looking for. I have just purchased one and am waiting for it to be delivered.
Im going to be using it as a secondary device with my iPhone and I think the 930 is a great choice. I will be updating this post :)

z8, 22 Mar 2017Really? I'm curious as I may buy one as well. Do you have any comparisons between current flag... moreIt's not fair to compare it to technology that's three years ahead. If you can find it for $300 or less, it's good value. The screen is beautiful, the camera can hold its own against most other smartphone cameras, and the general construction is solid, save for the adhesive that keeps the screen+touch digitiser stack glued to the aluminum frame. There's also a design issue that causes one of the microphone pairs to fail, and to compensate for that you have to use hadsfree/ wireless heaphones instead of the speaker mode during calls. The audio jack has a tendency to fail, just like all audio jacks do as they wear out over time. The biggest deciding factor is whether you absolutely need certain apps to connect with your friends (Snapchat) or if you crave to install every new app that pops under the sun (Pokemon Go, Super Mario Run). If not, then you can happily run Windows 10 Mobile on the 930. In some cases, the best third party Windows app is miles better than the official version on Android/iOS - a notable example being YouTube.

Nokia 930 is a very bad phone with a good design.
battery is drain so fast. i charge the phone twice a day for normal use.
camera is just so so, i expect more with 20MP spec camera, but i think the quality is average, especially if you take a pic with low lighting.
and the worst is the screen have a strange problem. it started as a small stain and it grows a little everyday, and almost 70% of the my nokia screen is darker now.
sorry for my bad english.

AnonD-12237, 09 Jan 2017Does the Windows 10 update make the camera worse or better?From my experience with Windows 10 Mobile on the Lumia 930, the phone functionality is definitely WORSE. User control has been all but completely removed. You are also forced to endure Horrible Automatic Over-Processing for Every Photo with no options for turning this feature off or for using a different camera controller, such as something similar to 'Microsoft Camera.' Please read this, Win 10M development. With all due respect, this new implementation is a bit of an insult to the end user's intelligence and creative capabilities.

I was buy Lumia 930 before 4 months and I was noticed loud speaker is not working then I have given to CGC service center in Qatar. Still, I don't received the useful feedback from the. but, they noticed this phone can not be repair and also they do not have stock the same model. They want to replace the phone which is less configuration and older model when compare with Lumina 930. I do not recommend this type of brand.
