I have the Lumia 830, bought from Singapore last week. Battery can last about 12 hours (at least based on my usage which is quite heavy).
QUOTE(shaniandras2787 @ Oct 2 2014, 09:13 AM) 730/735 is micro sim, no? This post has been edited by zack9999: Oct 2 2014, 09:48 AMi'm also hoping to get a 830 for my wife but i'm really really worried about the time that the battery can only give =(  |

I do not disable anything except bluetooth. I have news apps with live tiles updating (CNN, MSN News, MSN Money, AlJazeera, Weather, etc). Whatsapp like on 24 hours. I don't have LTE but pretty much HSPA all time. Checking news through NextGen Reader quite often.
Occasionally watch video (through CNN, Aljazeera apps) and Flex. Used to own 820 but 820 cannot last more than 7 hours, usually after lunch I had to charge my 820. But with 830 it can last until I get home usually unplug at 5 am and reach home at 530 pm. Still observing the battery. QUOTE(shaniandras2787 @ Oct 2 2014, 11:15 AM) how heavy is "heavy". This post has been edited by zack9999: Oct 2 2014, 11:35 AMjust based on a rough estimation. how many hour LTE surfing, whatsapp, and etc (ie. picture capturing, video playback etc). 12 hours isn't quite desirable, isn't it? |

It is still a new phone less than a week. So I am still exploring. I also enable the step tracker (like how many steps you have taken for a day, so it might use more battery power).
QUOTE(shaniandras2787 @ Oct 2 2014, 12:24 PM) Ah! from your post, i think the battery is just so-so =( In any event, keep us posted further. Battery woes are my biggest worry in getting a smartphone because i hate carrying a powerbank. |

It was launched last week and Nokia said will be available nationwide on Oct 3. Go and check Nokia stores.

The 830 build quality is better than the 735. Give some time and the price will come down. Besides for RM1399 you get Office 365 subscription for 1 year, 1TB of OneDrive storage and 60 minutes Skype worldwide.
I bought mine from Singapore and the price if you converted to RM is about RM1277. But you get no Malaysian warranty. QUOTE(nickchk89 @ Oct 3 2014, 09:40 AM) For rm1.3k,i dont think its value for money anymore,unlike l735,which is consider good for amoled 720p,besides,both use same soc,720p This post has been edited by zack9999: Oct 3 2014, 09:44 AM |

Yes, the 830 has metal edges compared to the polycarbonate of the 735. I had 820 before this and over time the edge developed cracks because of falling etc. But you can change the back with a new one.
I have not seen 735 but I love its specs too like its lighter than 830, the 5MP wide ffc, and slightly smaller size. QUOTE(shaniandras2787 @ Oct 3 2014, 09:47 AM) Whether it is value for money i think depends entirely on the consumer.I generally think that the 830 has better design overall compared to the 735. Besides, that 10MP PureView in the 830 is going to come in very handy and will last for quite some time before people will call it "obsolete". I really don't need that 5MP front camera =( Oh!, 735 is made from entirely polycarbonate while the 830 has a mix of metal, yes? I really dig that independent camera shutter button though. I really hated the fact that the volume button on the iPhone doubles up as that. |
