"Apple and Nokia are the only two companies that makes the best smart phones is what I believe".
I desperately wait for these to brands to launch their products. It was before the launch of Iphone 6, when Nokia launched Lumia 830. I checked it out as soon as it was available in the retail outlets.
Lumia 830 has amazing features
IN SYNC WITH YOUR LIFESTYLE
Its facebook, instagram, watsapp, twitter or any other social network, the Lumia 830 is built for life on the move. Bring your pictures to life with Living Images on the PureView camera, sync your digital life with OneDrive and share special moments on your favourite social network – it’s the perfect phone for people that enjoy being connected. LOVE TAKING PICTUNRES?
Here is something that you will enjoy. The Lumia 830 has a 10 MP Pure View camera with OIS and Zeiss optics – at home or at a concert, it takes great pictures. And with 3 mic Rich Recording, it’s easier than ever to shoot high quality videos with excellent sound. Document life as it happens. Both the video recording and clicking pictures are of very good quality, however for the this phone is not meant for the selfie queens. The front camera is disappointing.
KEEP IT PERSONAL
At times we fear while sharing photos that our parents might see them. lumia 830 has given a private sharing feature which is not unique as every other smart phones gives that. Share your precious photos, living images and videos with the people you want to share it with. Private moments need not be exposed to the world! Simply select who you want to share it with and feel rest assured it’s seen in the right places.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED
It is a powerpoint presentation, a word document, listening to you favourite music or picture, sync the Lumia 830 with OneDrive and everything is at your fingertips – photos, videos and documents are in sync and on your phone. From last night’s pictures to an important Microsoft Office document, the Nokia Lumia 830 keeps you connected to what matters. The Microsoft office package makes your work really easy is is the most reliable.
