While we've already had a brief hands-on and product demo video of the Nokia Lumia 930, we thought that we'd take a closer look at it with a hands-on video of our own. If you've been wondering how it feels and looks like in our hands then do check it out below. As it is, we found it to be a lot more compact than some other PureView camera packing Lumia smartphones while still managing to include a powerful 20.7MP PureView rear camera. The larger 5-inch full HD display is very nice to look at and does well with all the teeny tiny text on the Windows Phone 8.1 Live tiles. Check out our hands-on video of the Lumia 930 in this article.
