We go hands-on with the Nokia Lumia 930
The Nokia Lumia 930 was recently previewed here in Malaysia by Microsoft Devices and TechNave.com were invited. We managed to get some hands-on time with the Nokia Lumia 930 and it certainly feels premium. The 20.7MP camera captures some very nice images and is both fast and reliable. Targeting those premium users wanting to convert over to a Windows Phone 8.1 experience, the Nokia Lumia 930 feels solidly built. According to Steve Chan, Product Marketing Manager, Microsoft Devices, part of the reason for the polycarbonate backside is that it is more comfortable and scratch-proof compared to a metal back casing. While we'll have to agree with that, it doesn't give the same premium look that some other metal chassis smartphones have. In all, we were quite impressed with the new Nokia Lumia 930, but do check out the hands-on pictures and demo video below for yourself:
The metal side is part of the aluminum unibody chassis
The 5-inch full HD screen on the Nokia Lumia 930 is one of the brightest around
The controls are minimal but the dedicated camera shutter button should be good for mobile photographers
The polycarbonate backside is more durable, but unfortunately not interchangeable
The microSIM slot pulls out easily, no easily-lost tool required
