This flagship operating system Windows Phone 8.1 released already some time ago, but in this article we would like to introduce to you is not an ordinary review, and the prevailing opinion after six months of using a smartphone. The text at the same time to answer, as far as viable – to use Windows Phone as the main operating system.

Ergonomics

Smartphone Lumia 930 is still the best smartphone on Windows Phone in particular, and one of the best champions of all smartphones in general. This also applies to its performance and speed and wireless capabilities and quality of the camera. The latter, incidentally, top branded chip devices Microsoft Devices – perhaps the only smartphones that camera quality can really compete with the iPhone.

Smartphone Lumia 930

But first I want to say a few words about ergonomics smartphone. There is only one minus – the case of heavy. However, this can strain only at the beginning, during the transition to Lumia 930 with another smartphone. In the future, a relatively large mass of the smartphone is not felt, but the device in your hand with confidence, does not slip and fall.

Slightly convex screen, incidentally, is also easy to handle. On the one hand, the edges perfectly grope the other – no irritating protrusions. Initially may have feared that because of this form will overwrite the screen quickly, covered with scratches, but in reality all appeared six months minor scratches and scrapes hardly noticeable. While that film on the screen is not stuck.

Buttons and connectors are located and comfortable feel them blindly is not a problem. Pleases and hide the SIM-card (nano-SIM), which can be easily opened without the use of third-party tools (such as “clip” for iPhone). However, hot-swappable SIM cards still somehow not – have to restart your smartphone (turns off).

Performance

We have said many times (and not just in this article) that the performance of all devices on Windows Phone is no problem, especially in the Lumia 930. However, “just in case”, decided to include in the article a paragraph. Incidentally, the benchmark for WP and especially not and because the platform does not trust, but because special meaning in them not. The fact there are both positive and negative reasons.

Positive – good optimization of the interface and the operating system kernel and rigid requirements to the software do its job.

In general, in the Lumia 930 still “flying” applications open almost instantly, those games that is, do not brake at all.

Operating system

Perhaps the only problem that users may encounter with your smartphone on Windows Phone – lack of application services (branded application of various brands, restaurants, etc.). On the other hand, on the same Android client Instagram, for example, appeared much later iOS – and one of Android-users it stop? Of course, the number of applications for WP is constantly growing, that is, there is no stagnation and not going, despite criticism spiteful critics.

Office on Windows Phone

In practice, all that is needed the most – there. Even Instagram, although it is still in beta status and problems with encoding in notifications (only in them, in the application Russian language is displayed without problems).

Notification system Windows Phone

But Windows Phone, there are many strengths. First of all, it is practically impossible to find a smartphone, which inhibits WP. More precisely, the interface of the OS does not slow down at all anywhere, just some applications for state employees may lag. However, we’re talking about the Lumia 930, the flagship, and you can be sure – this smartphone will become obsolete very long. You could even say that the Lumia (any) – a profitable investment and competent purchase, if you do not love me smartphone every six months or a year.

Music player – nothing extra and everything is clear

Next – the convenience of the OS, its interface. Yes, it is convenience. We do not write nothing about this is in the “experience of using” – it is no secret that the Windows Phone interface paradigms are very different from iOS and Android (the last rose of iOS, like Eve from Adam’s rib) which is why for a beginner WP highly unusual . But the “unusual” and “uncomfortable” – not only different-sounding words, but even not synonymous. If you, for example, went to the hatchback, and then boarded a jeep – also initially be an unusually long time.

Thus, in Windows Phone indeed many advantages. First of all, the clever use of display area on the start screen. If you have experience with Android-smartphone, you probably imagine what we are. There difficult one screen to dial a lot of widgets, but that they were made in the same style. As a rule, on the same screen typical of Android-smartphone can accommodate one or two widgets – the authors very much like graphic excesses, while the user is interested in the first place, the information itself.

In Windows Phone, in addition to the standardized size “tiles” are also very well choose the size, and the very writing of the text (font). However, large page titles settings a bit knocked out of this rule (but still look organically). Look at how much info is placed on one screen smartphone on Windows Phone.

And if a little scroll down, there will be more. The advantage of the interface is active for that tile (widgets) and simple static icons includes the same dimensions. And it just fine. And the problems with mixing visual styles arise – everything looks organically.

Also very interesting is the possibility tracking status updates on social networks particular person – that he wrote in facebook, vkontakte, twitter. You can synchronize data with their social networks contacts list on your smartphone, view social activity of friends, their photos and albums directly from the notebook.

By the way, it is convenient that the update for Lumia Denim WP 8.1 added the ability to group tiles in the folder. Moreover, innovation does not destroy the visual interface paradigm – this is important.

Folder in Windows Phone can also be of different sizes – choose

Well, in general, in the interface of Windows Phone happy minimalism. This more than any other operating system is tuned exactly to the perception of information, so there is nothing superfluous. Incidentally, in the iOS and Android gradually begin to appear interface elements and paradigms of Windows Phone. Although generally similar to minimalism and angles – a modern trend and may, Microsoft just managed its first “catch”.

But most importantly, the interface Lumia 930 responsive as possible – this is often lacking on Android. In addition, it is very comfortable virtual keyboard, you do not even want anything to change (alas, iOS has not yet acquired is as comfortable keyboard).

Camera – Nokia Lumia 930

At Nokia, and now Microsoft has a lot of experience in the production of camera phones. One can recall the Nokia N8 – the first smartphone with a matrix of 1 / 1,8 ”, Nokia 808 PureView – the first smartphone with a camera 41 megapixel, or the same Lumia 1020 – almost 808 analogue of the cell, but on Windows Phone.

Lumia 930 is also not knocked out of the series. By the way, they say that it is worth the same camera module as in the Lumia 1520, but we have the photos do not think so. But anything can happen – post-processing software also makes its own adjustments.

20-megapixel module Lumia 930 takes off really well, even though the camera’s software, and there are problems with the assessment of white balance, because of what can suffer color rendition in JPEG (or rather, can look unnatural color reproduction from the point of view of the user, so that the color is quite normal).

By default, the camera takes pictures in 5 megapixel resolution, more than enough even for viewing on a computer screen, and the “extra” megapixels uses to sharpen, plus as a reserve for the digital zoom. That is, zoom in approximately 2.5 times you can almost lossless (fall field will still be, but is not as noticeable as on other smartphones).

In addition to this, you can specify in the settings of the camera to take one picture in 5 megapixels and a 19 megapixel. But the most interesting – is setting up a 5 megapixel JPEG and 19 megapixel RAW (using the format DNG, Adobe proposed and supported by all anciently widespread RAW-converters). If you are a fan of processed pictures (and process a series of shots Lightroom – easier than ever), it can be useful. From the RAW image actually can be pulled and the lights and shadows and even make HDR. And for white balance can not worry – colors will be such as you wish.

Although, admittedly, often to the processing of RAW, we did not use – still mobile photography is more about “navёl, removed, laid out in the social network” than about image processing.

Battery

Any surprises from the Lumia 930 was not. Smartphone always lived out until the end of the working day and sometimes had the stock the next day. However, the Windows Phone does not have one very nice feature – even in standby mode, it consumes a lot of energy. That is, if you do not use your smartphone, put it on the shelf, it “will live” is not much longer than in the operating mode.

On the other hand, the disadvantage is difficult to call it – in fact, do not buy smartphones in order to lie on the shelf. In addition, any modern man who prefers a top model among smartphones, a long time is worth to have a useful habit to charge the smartphone once a day, and even carry a compact external battery. We recommend using some equipped with a diode flashlight – always handy. Or brand – for example, portable charger Microsoft DC-21. Well, just in case (and the cases are different).

In total – Nokia Lumia 930

So, in practice, the smartphone Lumia 930 was not just viable, but also extremely convenient mobile device. Since it is much less of a problem than a typical smartphone Android (even if we are only talking about the top models), with no particular disadvantage, and the camera can and does work wonders in the right hands.

The screen did not cause any complaints – use it comfortably warm even on the beach of the bright hot sun. Music headphones sounds right. The performance is sufficient for all released for Windows Phone toys.

Well, the OS still after prolonged use leaves a good impression. Do not argue, there are drawbacks, but “childhood diseases” is not there for a long time, and proprietary advantages sometimes very severely lacking when using other smartphones on the iOS and Android.

The post Experience in the used of new Nokia Lumia 930 appeared first on Raqwe.

It’s no secret that issued this year on Android flagships do not cause a furore of the past, emotions and joy. Visually, they are not fundamentally different from its predecessors, the difference lies in the internal components. But it’s all about the world of Android, Windows Phone in the realm of other laws.

Nokia Lumia 930 – a modern flagship eminent manufacturer, which is a logical continuation of the previous line of devices. Its predecessors were the Lumia 925 and fablet Lumia 1520. Novelty has absorbed the best of both. From first got compact size and chic metal body, from the last – the most powerful and filling chamber with an impressive resolution of 20 megapixels.

Packing and accessories Nokia Lumia 930

Modern equipment flagships cause a lot of issues and resentment. How would it be foolish not to sound, well-known manufacturers have something to learn from the Chinese, who in addition to the device itself is usually put in a box headset, a couple of covers and films on the screen, a spare battery, as well as the entire range of cables and adapters. Picking up the box with the Nokia Lumia 930, I suspected something was wrong, it was too easy it was. In fact, apart from the smartphone, charging, and packs of papers, nothing inside you will not find. In the web I came across an interesting justification for such a decision – “Make minimizes the complete set, based on the assumption that all the necessary you already have.”

Why, for example, to staff the unit unpretentious headset if, perhaps, the consumer already has his favorite headphones, it will use. However, it seems to me that Apple has proven that and complete headset can satisfy the majority of potential buyers.

In order not to make this paragraph in a devastating criticism, let me remind you that the lucky pre-order on the Nokia Lumia 930, as a gift to get a wireless charger. Very interesting contraption has a pleasant appearance and is gradually becoming an indispensable accessory in your home or office. I prefer to use a wired charger at home, and wireless “tablet” has provided office. At work, I often distract calls, after which the phone goes to its rightful place, and fueled by energy. Such refinement allows us not to worry about the level of charge during the working day. Blue “pill” fully charge a smartphone in about 6-7 hours. On the one hand it’s a lot, but on the other hand, when my case use – quite normal.

In general, the transmission of power without wires is a real extraterrestrial miracle, so that “all the running to buy cool blue charging.” Perhaps also worth recalling that the wireless charging from Nokia universal and is tuned for a particular device. We quite successfully managed to make friends with her editorial Google Nexus 5.

Design and Ergonomics The Nokia Lumia 930

Remember, in the introduction, I complained about the lack of really bright and worthy champions on the basis of OC Android? So Nokia Lumia 930 is completely different. She, like all the products of Nokia, has its own unique identity. We went to a model in the strict black, which is perfect for a business dinner jacket and tie.

But for a young female audience and is available orange, green and white colors.

Dressed in a metal, the 930th can tightly chained to his views of others – rectangular shape and rounded corners quite a bit, a couple of slips from the top, near the headphone jack, and a couple of the bottom framing port microUSB, create a sense of wholeness and completeness. The back part is made of polycarbonate, a surprisingly pleasant to touch and resistant to external influences.

One feels that the designers and engineers did their best. By their own merits should ascribe design connector for SIM-cards. If you remove the card from some previous models without staples was not possible, the novelty is enough to hook a fingernail slot. But the card format remains the same – nanoSIM, even despite the fact that the place is calm and would be enough for the “human” micro. Ideological mastermind of such a decision is necessary at least to shower slippers, and even better – impaled, but do not let the bad news.

On the right side of the smartphone can be found metal volume button is very well positioned in the lock button and the shutter button of the camera. All the keys are very short and concise course, no backlash was found. Framing the frame is not subject to rapid wear and serves as an excellent protection in awkward situations, such as during the fall of the smartphone on the asphalt.

Display Nokia Lumia 930

Despite the impressive diagonal of 5 inches, the frame around the screen is minimal, use the Nokia Lumia 930 with one hand comfortably. This is exactly what was missing fabletu Lumia 1520. matrix made by the OLED technology and has excellent color reproduction and viewing angles. In the presence of a proprietary technology Clear Black and low power consumption when using dark colors in the interface. At a density of 441 pixels per inch, even the keen eye can not find something to complain about.

On top of the screen is covered with a little convex protective glass Gorilla Glass 3 to prevent rapid wear. Quality oleophobic coating is excellent. Variation in the levels of brightness provides a comfortable feel at home in the dark – and during the working day in direct sunlight.

I honestly tried to find fault with anything, but it did not work – the picture quality is excellent in all conditions, and light sensor very quickly and accurately detects the ambient environment, instantly adjusting the brightness at the desired level.

Camera

Nokia Lumia 930 boasts a camera module, very similar to that of the Lumia 1520, and it is very good. Shoot on a six-inch fablet was a little uncomfortable, intuitively felt the desire to slightly reduce the size and dimensions of the body. 930th also received more than suitable for comfortable shooting dimensions, rapid start-up of the camera off and almost instant saving photos.

So, first things first. In 1520 Nokia Lumia hell out of me infuriated long run chamber – about 4-6 seconds. The trouble is compounded by the fact that after changing the settings also had to wait a long time until the camera module wakes up. The novelty of these problem areas a good job. Now the startup speed of the camera, even the locked screen is less than two seconds, and while working with the settings, everything happens almost instantly. Fortunately, now the probability to miss the frame is minimized, and all this thanks to the finalization of the program by Nokia.

On the module front-facing camera to write I do not see much point. He is, and it is more than enough, that’s all.

Standard camera I did not use, but Nokia Camera. Actually, everything remained as it was, you can customize everything, from the exposure and white balance, to focus mode and shutter speed. This is very cool, but not always true. Agree, often because it is important to catch the frame, and the time for preparation and setup is not there. On the other hand, with an abundance of free time, and you can string up a twisting sliders.

As you can see, the maximum resolution of the pictures is actually equal to 16 megapixels. Have the ability to shoot in a format DNG , for further processing on a computer. Frankly, without processing DNG-format is not the most pleasant sight. In general, it is recommended for true photographers who fanateyut from hand polishing photos by using specialized software.

In automatic mode, sometimes a little white balance fails and display colors. For example, instead of just once a black keyboard on the photo turned out to be blue. But this is all minor quibbles, the potential of the camera hoo. Lumia 930 faithfully served me for several presentations. Then the photos taken using the Lumia 930, with little or no treatment were used in the materials on our site. Examples of the photo below. I’m sure regular readers of these pictures seem familiar.

Hardware platform and sound

Lumia 930 is based on the current platform Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 MSM8974 + GPU Adreno 330. Complete the picture 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of memory for data storage. Interface, as might be expected, flies without delay. Slots for memory cards, no, that can be a little alert. The fact is that in addition to the photos, the 930th also keeps small trailers to create a pleasant effect in the gallery. The whole thing is quite actively eats phone memory, especially if you’re a fan of the photo shoot in DNG-format.

In other cases, no problems there, even more so the question is – where to put all this power, then? Geymdev for Windows Phone has not arrived in time, but something in the presence of a fat wallet can be found. Pleasantly surprised by the heating of the case during the game battles, or rather, lack thereof. It is a rarity for modern champions, stuffed to the eyeballs technology and powerful hardware. If it were not for ARM-architecture, we could assume that the filling Lumia 930 is almost twice as much as my home stationary PC, which, as you know, in your pocket will not fit.

Separately say about the sound. Firstly, the smartphone has just four microphones for recording, repeating the success fableta Lumia 1520. This aspect is useful to ardent fans to shoot video during concerts or loud events.

Audio output device is also at altitude. Speaker is loud, the sound is not distorted even at maximum volume, and good headphones stuffing your bloodstream endorphins guaranteed. In the presence of an equalizer, hidden deep in the settings, and technology Dolby.

Software Platform

Nokia Lumia 930 runs on Windows Phone 8.1 with proprietary add-ons Lumia Cyan. At the rate of production of the recently released update of Lumia Denim no doubts.

Well, in general, plitochki – they are in Africa plitochki, with all the consequences. The eternal debate on the lack of applications has gradually subsides, which can not but rejoice. For example, recently saw the world beta version of the popular browser Opera mini.

As usual, no complaints about the speed of the system is not and can not be, and everything that you can complain about, hidden beautiful animation. But in order not to leave the description of the features of the software shell blank, I will share a couple of interesting observations. One of them pleasantly shocked, but others clearly require intervention on the part of Microsoft, and application developers.

Observation №1

Once upon a time I saw a comparison of the speed of mobile internet on Android-powered devices and smartphones from Apple. In the context of a bad connection, or else during the overly concentrated load on the network, data on Android-smartphone still working involuntarily groaning, but kilobyte passing the right information. iOS with a similar situation, just an error, they say, connection timeout expired. So, the user devices running Windows Phone, even at the slightest load on the network can completely forget about the transfer of data and without a break to catch a connection error in popular applications.

Observation №2

Function of backup and recovery between smartphones based on Windows Phone works just fine. Replacing the Lumia 930 in 1520, I expect to have to re-download all the applications and enter the settings. And then a miracle system presented me with a wonderful surprise. After entering uchetki Microsoft for 10 minutes Lumia 930 on the inside of my eyes became identical to the previous smartphone. Returned to the place of all applications, tiles, background image, messages and even call history. Separately, I note my shock when the reader Tucan Reader not only recovered as an application, but somehow returned to the device memory book, which I left on fablete, and invited me to continue reading from the same place.

Thus, the updated phone platform WP can be compared to the purchase of a new model iPhone. You just change the hardware-only, and all of your data to the new device without any problems – it’s cool.

Autonomy Nokia Lumia 930

In the active mode of operation smartphone lived out until the evening about a quarter charge left. Such a figure is quite typical for Android-powered devices, and a little too small for smartphones running Windows Phone. The latest models, which I have tested, showed a more impressive result, namely: Lumia 1320 – 2.5 days, Lumia 630 – 3 days, Lumia 1520 – about two days.

Conclusions

Summing up, I want to say that the Nokia Lumia 930 has turned out a real flagship device. Smartphone future owners will appreciate the original design, smart and high-quality camera, excellent sound in the headphones and, as always, an impressive performance. Refuse to buy can make a hefty price tag, little bit poor delivery and personal dislike of the OS from Microsoft. Perhaps for the subsequent statement I get to the head, but still:

If the Nokia Lumia 930 was running Android [AOSP], it was uncompromising was the flagship for the wider audience connoisseurs of premium products and crazy geeks who could easily forgive his price. This device has a personality and an easy charm, which is so lacking devices on competing operating systems.

Enumerate found pros and cons that have been identified in the operation of the device:

Pluses Lumia 930

• Using metal in the housing, a superior design
• OLED-matrix screen catches the eye and is well protected
• Quick Start camera can easily replace a bar of soap in travel
• Quality sound in headphones

Cons Lumia 930

• Options much better that of the Moto G
• Autonomy does not match the platform slightly

The post Review of Nokia Lumia 930 – a real flagship appeared first on Raqwe.

Smartphone Nokia Lumia 930 runs on Windows Phone 8.1. Brief specifications of the smartphone Lumia 930: 4-core processor Qualcomm Snapdragon 800, 2.2 GHz, 2 GB of RAM memory, 32 GB ROM, work in the frequency bands GSM 900/1800/1900, standards support data transmission GPRS, EGPRS, EDGE, HSPA, LTE, interfaces, Bluetooth 4.0, microUSB 2.0, Wi-Fi 802.11 a / b / g / n, chamber 20 and 1.2 Mpixel., built-in GPS chips with feature A-GPS, GLONASS.

The first Nokia smartphone running WP 8.1 and, concurrently, the current flagship of the manufacturer. Trump card – 20Mp PureView camera with optical image stabilization, optics Carl Zeiss , dual LED-flash and numerous fotoprilozheniyami. How successful was model as the next “killer” shoot cameras from Nokia and is worthy of its price tag if at $ 630. All this and not only on.

Scope of delivery – Lumia 930

The smartphone comes in a cardboard box with a new design for the Lumia devices – now it is more compact and is in bright colors.

In the box to the Nokia Lumia 930 manufacturer put charger adapter cable, USB -micro / USB and documentation. Given the price tag of the device positioning and I am personally surprised by the absence of the headset. Obviously, the Nokia emphasis on picking this model does not emphasize.

Design – Lumia 930

Lumia 930 is a heavy (167 grams) bar with a metal frame and a 5-inch OLED LCD monitor.

Design smartphone, in my opinion, definitely not boring due to the effect that creates its appearance slightly convex protective glass Gorilla glass 3, covers the front panel.

I’m sure many will like a soft-touch soft-touch coating the rear panel, through which smartphone does not slip in your hand. Chosen by the manufacturer quality material seemed to me, although predicting its “behavior” with careless use of a tube not say.

Version of 930 minutes with a white and bright orange coloring will suit young and energetic, we also got to taste the classic black device.

To build quality is difficult to find fault even with a strong desire, as the body of the smartphone Nokia flagships traditionally monolithic – no squeaks, not “playing” in the hands.

Lumia 930 has received support wireless charging Qi, for which he had to pay a rather “plump” body (137x71x9,8 mm) compared to the flagship competition. However, despite this, it is quite comfortable to hold even in a female hand, and all the controls are placed close enough to each other, within easy reach of the thumb.

Functional elements – Lumia 930

At the top of the front panel are the earpiece grille, eye 1.2Mp front-facing camera, light sensor and proximity, as well as high-performance digital microphone HAAC (High Amplitude Audio Capture), used for directional stereo.

The latest in a tube only four – one located under the system using the “Back”, “Start” and “Search”, and the two remaining top and bottom of the rear panel. Their “tandem” implements technology Nokia Rich Recording, which allows you to “cut off” background noise when recording sound during video recording and so, consequently, improves the quality of sound. The dynamic range of the recording for Nokia Rich Recording is 107 dB (from 33 to 140 dB SPL).

On the back of the smartphone user “find” a small output speakerphone, basic eye PureView 20Mp camera, dual LED-flash and the logo of the manufacturer.

The top end is placed under the 3.5mm audio jack and a sliding slot for nano-SIM card. By the way, to open it does not need a special “clip”, it is enough to hook.

At the bottom of “marginalia” to equip the port micro-USB, and on the right are located the volume rocker, power button and start key camera / shutter button.

Display – Lumia 930

Lumia 930 has a 5-inch OLED-display with a resolution of 1920×1080 pixels, pixel density per inch – 441.

Traditionally, the flagship Nokia screen is made using a proprietary technology ClearBlack, which provides the most clear and vivid display of colors, especially black.

From small bumps and scratches protects him slightly convex glass Gorilla Glass 3.

The screen has high contrast and excellent viewing angles both vertically and horizontally. Reserve its brightness enough for any environment, including for comfortable reading under direct sunlight. Everything else, in devayse implemented an optional feature that allows you to work in bright light.

The backlight is adjusted manually, or (s) automatically. In addition, the disposal of the user several display modes display – Use the slider to play with the brightness and saturation to make more muted colors or overstated.

One of the major “chips” screen Lumia 930 – possibility to control it not only finger but also nails, stylus, as well as all types of gloves. Sensor layer is responsible for 10 simultaneous touches.

Features and performance – Lumia 930

“Heart” became the flagship 4-core Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8974 800 with a clock speed of 2.2 GHz and Adreno 330 graphics. The RAM is 2 GB.

“Iron”, but not “top” of today, however, provides excellent performance WP-smartphone – Play Full HD -video, smooth operation interface, smart Web surfing, quick application launcher and no slowdown, even in the most demanding games . Here are just a load of smartphone gaming heats up at the bottom.

Memory – Lumia 930

The volume of the built-in flash drive with the capacity of the tube and there is no slot for memory expansion, plus support for USB-OTG specification is not the largest – 32 GB, of which you will get around 25 GB. There is a kind of “bonus” in the form of 7 free gigabytes of cloud storage OneDrive.

Communications – Lumia 930

In this respect, Lumia 930 all the latest technology, as indeed befits a flagship. There is support for all networks, including 4G LTE, 2-band Wi-Fi 802.11 A / b / G / n / AC (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz), Wi-Fi Direct, DLNA , Wi-Fi Hotspot, Miracast Bluetooth 4.0 , GPS , GLONASS and NFC .

Autonomy – Lumia 930

Capacity 2420 mAh non-removable battery that allows the smartphone to work with moderate use day and a half. On average it lasts for 4-6 hours of playback Full HD video, depending on the brightness of the screen, or 15-16 hours of talk time.

Charge can “fill up”, including through the wireless charging standard Qi. For example, I use the battery panel DT-601.

All very easy – just connect it to any USB-port and you put it on your smartphone. By the way, the manufacturer offers a variety of other accessories for recharging “mobile friend” in all shapes and sizes.

I also note that in the settings devaysa provides power save mode.

Speakers – Lumia 930

The volume of the first high – the interlocutor can hear clearly and legibly. In general, the voice quality is great.

Multimedia power is enough for a comfortable listening to the audio in a room. In other cases still rely on headphones. By the way, the last connection gives you access to more and FM-radio.

In Lumia 930 uses audio technology Dolby Surround Sound and has a built-in equalizer. Start with features audio equalization and improvement of dialogue. In turn, the EQ allows you to optimize the sound quality of the music player in accordance with the style of song you listened to. In fact, everything is the best way affect the quality of the reproduced sound.

Camera – Lumia 930

Lumia 930 by analogy with the test before Lumia 1520 got photomodule branded PureView with 20-megapixel sensor 1 / 2.5-inch BSI-matrix.

That’s the only difference being the pore fableta Finns in 2014, the flagship of the camera lens, which uses 6-lens optics Carl Zeiss, an inch sticks out above the surface of the body.

Its effective focal length – 26 mm, the minimum focus range – 10 cm, and the maximum aperture – f / 2.4.
Camera systems supplemented AF and optical image stabilization, dual LED flash. It is worth noting also 2x digital zoom when shooting and 4-fold when recording video. Last smartphone shoots in a maximum resolution of Full HD at 30 frames per second.

Another “plus” camera Lumia 930 – the ability to take photos in the “raw” format RAW (DNG), thereby giving the user the opportunity to “create” your photos with all that your heart desires.

Thanks to this set of characteristics, as well as numerous specialty fotoprilozheniyam camera smartphone makes high-quality images even in the most well lit and in automatic mode. And if you use the manual, allowing yourself to change the exposure, white balance, the value of ISO and shutter speed, eventually you can get off and on sort of a “fotoshedevr” who is not ashamed to hang the frame.

By the way, you can take pictures with the virtual keys on the display or the most convenient, special hardware button on the case.

The user is a large number of fotoprilozheny, allowing to simulate the photographs depth of field, to apply animation effects, special filters and stuff.

For example, the Nokia camera that combines modes Nokia Pro Cam and Nokia Smart Cam, allows you to not only edit photos but also sharing them in social networks. «Nokia Stories” as photo diary, combines photos by time and place of the shooting in such a “story” and “Revived photo” of a series of frames “creates” the animation in the selected image area.

In front of the wide-angle camera 1.2Mp matrix and a lens with an aperture of f / 2.4. It records video in HD-quality and it is enough for the self and communication in Skype .

Software – Lumia 930

The smartphone runs on Windows Phone 8.1 Lumia Cyan with many useful features and preinstalled free services from Microsoft and Nokia. Among them: a program to work with office documents Office, OneNote – analogue of the usual stationery pad, navigation package from HERE Drive +, HERE Maps and HERE Transit (cards work in offline mode), applications Bing: «Health and fitness”, “Cooking” , “Finance”, “News”, “Travel”, “Sport”, “weather”, and many others.

Smartphone desktop consists of three columns of live tiles, and Notification Center drop-down shutter presented with access to all notifications and settings. In addition, the platform is built personal voice assistant Cortana, provides separate volume control and new lock screen customization.

Conclusions – Lumia 930

Nokia Lumia 930 is probably the best solution in the segment of smartphones Windows Phone 8.1.
