The editors didn't like
Chunky footprint
Still missing some Windows 8.1 updates like Cortana
Its battery life doesn't impress
It's quite a chunky beast
Windows Phone 8.1 doesn't come with the Cortana voice assistant outside of the US and the platform still suffers from a mediocre app selection
Poor audio quality
Heavy
Noticeable heat build-up
No expandable storage
Thick body
Somewhat chunky
Photos often have inaccurate colors
Cumbersome nano SIM card format
Camera metering is often dodgy. App quality continues to be Windows Phone's Achilles' heel.
No headset included
Color reproduction inaccuracies
No microSD slot
High heat emissions under full load
Heavier than comparable devices
More power consumption than Android or iOS smartphones
Camera beats every Android out there, Quirky looks stand out, Unique apps and features are valuable
Limited app store still a hindrance, No expandable memory, It gets very, very hot
The plus side for those looking for something different is that Windows Phone has come along enough now that its mere presence on a handset isn’t enough to relegate it completely. The Lumia 930 is the flagship that the range has been crying out for for ...

Superb PureView camera, Beautiful OLED screen, Super solid build
Windows Phone still app-deficient
Nokia Lumia 930 verdict Open Gallery We liked the Lumia Icon a lot, and we like the Lumia 930 even more. It doesn't make any drastic improvements to key elements – the screen, camera, performance are all the same – but the inclusion of a wireless...
Abstract: The biggest draw to the Nokia Lumia 930 (from £412 SIM-free) is that it offers the best Windows Phone experience – Windows Phone 8.1 in this case. But is Microsoft losing the war against Apple and Google? Perhaps from a consumer’s point of view, but certa...

Abstract: The camera is one of the best out there. There are a number of camera apps which some users could find confusing. The basic app gives good photo results, but other more advanced apps allow users to experiment with different techniques and effects.One w...
The Lumia 930 is a step in the right direction with its semi-metal design and decent hardware line-up. We like the screen and camera but it's lacking additional features and doesn't have expandable storage. Windows Phone 8.1 vastly improves things on the...
Iconic design, Excellent 20, megapixel camera, New Windows Phone 8.1 OS
Apps need improving, UI may shock Android / iOS fans
If you've never tried a Windows smartphone before, the Lumia 930 is definitely the device to get you going. Its eye-catching design really makes it stand out from the crowd (a big plus point in an increasingly competitive market.) The camera is no 1020 -...

With its great display, brilliant camera and attractive, colourful design, the Nokia Lumia 930 has most of what you'd expect from a top-end Windows Phone device. It's battery lets it down though and with an unimpressive selection of apps still available ...
Vibrant display, good performance, great camera, Windows Phone 8.1 is full of enterprise perks
Below-average battery life
Featuring a distinctive design, great display and top-end PureView camera, the Nokia Lumia 930 does a great job of showing off all Windows Phone 8.1's business benefits. However, its overall appeal is slightly let down by its below-average battery life....

As if in recognition of this, the Lumia 930 comes with a decent two-week launch offer of a dinky Bluetooth speaker, a wireless charging plate and a £20 app voucher. Even after that, every 930 sold in the UK will include a wireless charging plate. So if y...
