The latest Lumia 830 and Lumia 735 are officially launched in Malaysia today. Announced during IFA 2014, the Lumia 830 is their affordable flagship that’s priced at RM1399. Meanwhile its Lumia 735 is their answer for the current selfie trend and it is priced at RM999. As an early bird promo, they are giving out Microsoft Office 365 Home Premium for the first 500 Lumia 830 buyers.

SOS

Don't see why people would go for this instead of the like of Lumia 1520 or Lumia 930

price is around 1.2k right?

errr..wait for huge discount lo... it's same like 820 ..a lot ppl go for 920 instead of 820

err.. perhaps becoz of price? not many people willing to invest on a hand phone.

L830 got 4k recording rite??

Lumia 830 suppose available same time with 735? Only see preoder for 735 but no news for 830 yet.

I have this phone. Who else?

how much you bought it?

what colour??

I have orange. Bought RM1399.

Trying the demo unit, it actually feels like a proper flagship. Good camera, great screen, and snappy performance. Can't even see any difference with the 930 demo unit. Only encountered the resuming page once, when getting back into the camera app through the multitasking page.

I'm highly tempted to get one. Highly, highly tempted now

Whispering......go buy now.....go buy now.... Its the phone.....go buy now......

Totally agree with you. Tested it as well a few times at the Nokia Store, love it. I like the fact that it's thinner than the 930, but still feels comfortable to hold. The screen also is just awesome

Very tempted to change my 820 for this as well

I read somewhere and said 830 is even an upgrade from 920....

specs is much more decent than 920

Plus points of 830 for me

SD card
Removable battery
Bigger screen
Lighter

Trade offs:-
Lower resolution 294 vs 332 ppi
Smaller internal storage 16GB vs 32GB

For camera some give and take between front and back cameras for both models, I'm ok with that.

I like the 830, but at RM1,399 it's still a bundle to me.

Looks like this phone is not selling like hot cakes, with only one owner reported here? I don't see much interest at the shops either.

i waiting for successor of lumia 1020

u can get it for 1,199 at garage sales... or maybe after 2-3 months the price may drop

Yeah me too! So damn surprised this year got no successor for L1020

Think positively. It saves your money instead of buying a new hp every year:)

Just got my first WP..gotta love the slim design
I'm very satisfied with 830..

But I'm curious, I wonder why sum time my navigation button doesn't light up when I touch it.. N Sum time it works ..

Is that normal for WP?

Yah thank God for that got no money oledi

But did the button works although it doesn't light up?

Im not aware about the light as long the button works when touch it

if u have a 920 or 925,
this device is a slight upgrade compare to them..
2 extra cores and 2 extra megapixels..
with the nearly the same price ( compared to L925 back then)

Anyone wanna gibe review for the device?

And how bout the camera?

The device is lighter and thinner compared to the 820 which I had for over a year. Battery can last through more than 15 hours, enough for moderate use during a day. It has a motion sensor which eliminates the need for fitbit and the likes if you are a fitness person.
The screen is very nice. It is a 720p and can fit 3 medium tiles or 1 big tiles and 1 medium tiles. It is using an IPS technology.
I am not a camera person but the PureView camera takes decent pictures. I use the camera mainly to take pictures of newspaper cutting and it does the job well (I have an app can handyscan). The inclusion of a camera key is nice which you rarely find in many smartphones nowadays.

Yes that's normal. They dont always light up when you touch them
Not too sure what's the reason behind that though

yup... though its not a show stopper..i was just curious...

thanks for the confirmation.. at least now i know my unit is not faulty....

the phone does feel elegant when u hold it...
comparing it with my xperiaZ... my vote goes to 830..

camera performs much better in darker area even w/out flash (vs xperia Z)... not sure bout latest Z3 though...

but for me, im really satisfied with what 830 has to offer..
good camera quality
OS is fluid
phone doesnt get hot fast like android (not sure if this is due to WP or hardware)
screen is sharp altho not fullHD..

it just feels like a flagship device, minus the big hole in my wallet....

if u decide to get this phone, just check the edges of the screen..
some unit might not have the perfect fit (flushed with the metal frame) all round..
if u can find 100% perfect, consider urself lucky...
cos last friday, i examine 3 unit, all not perfect
alas, i chose the one with minimum flaw....

i finally figured out how the navi buttons light works...
it will only lit up in dark surroundings....
if under direct light - it will not lit up...unless the proximity sensor is covered to mimic dark room....

makes sense now...can help extend battery life....

Wow, how bad is this flaw? This don't give much confidence for a flagship product. Wonder, if this is just the sets from the shop you bought it from, or generally true for Lumia 830 production quality.

i dont think 830 is a flagship phone la bro... more like a mid range phone only ...
the fitting is not 100% perfect like those 2-3k flagship phones...
so expect some very small flaws.. (or maybe i was just being too picky)

but overall quality is very close to perfect..
in my case, out of 3, only 1 phone had an obvious flaw..
the other 2, was acceptable, altho I cant say its 100% perfect..
different people have diff expectation.. some may say the imperfection is acceptable, some may not...

u need to check it out urself...

beside the edges do u find other issue on the phone?

m$ market 830 as 'affordable flagship' phone...

btw base on my reading I notice they are issues with lumia phone.. 520 have camera button problem and 1520 got screen sensitivity issue... what worries me is that nokia/Microsoft doesn't seems to care with the these 'cosmetic' issues.

affordable flagship phone is just a nice way to describe a mid range phone i think...

camera, volume, power buttons so far so good...... no clicking/loose sound when u shake the phone...
no issue with pinch to zoom .. screen is working as it should...
i dont know much about previous lumias, but based on first impression of 830...
i like it very much... i can now say i like it more than my xperiaZ (altho i cant go swimming with it... )

Heard you could do manual focus during video record. Can someone confirm this? It is a nice feature for film-making!

With Denim updated?

Denim comes pre-installed on this device. Nokia always includes the latest WP update on their new phone release.

yes.. u can pinch to zoom while taking video shot...

Also can focus properly for whatsapp? Distance around 15~30cm. Normally not sharp and blurr.

u mean launch camcoder, take some video directly from wassap?
looks normal to me... but not hd quality i guess...
if u need HD, maybe can take video from nokia camera, then send it thru wassap....

Has anyone found a good case for 830?

The latest Whatsapp update has really increased the battery life. After 8 hours I still have 71% more battery juices.

Thinking of getting the 830 but for rm400 more, can get the 930 with 10mp more and faster processor.

the big downer on the 930 is the lack of microSD slot.. else it would have been perfect.

any nice forummer wanna spam the tered with pic from the 830 camera ?

Just got myself a L830 to replace my L1020.
So far am satisfied with the battery life, able to last for 15 hours of normal usage.
Camera is decent in most conditions, but does not perform well in situations where they are many lights (example Christmas tree lights in a busy street). Camera launch speed is faster than L1020 so as the shot-to-shot duration.
The microSD slot makes up for the 16gb onboard storage, no complain.
Not a heavy gamer, so far no noticeable lag while launching apps.
The phone looks and feel premium, I have friends who commented how good it is to hold and the green colour is an attention seeker.
I'm fine with LCD screen, though it seems a bit washed-out compared to OLED it does not suffer from screen burn-in.

Have you tried eBay? I bought one ultra slim TPU silicone back cover for 20bucks. Not a fan of flip cover cos I find it flimsy while taking pictures.

any 1 here manage to update Windows Phone update 14219 that bring the cellular data on/off from action center?

bos u pakai apa fon sekarang nih??

HTC 8X still alive and kicking?

gua msih pakai Kingkong 1520, 830 for my daugther. and yes, receive all update.

8x sudah lama jual. waiting for next year flag ship lumia perhaps 1530?

sigh 830 looks gooding but the specs

camera for the 830 nice?

I hope the next flagship comes with WP10 installed

why not many people use 830?
it looks soo handsome.. the spec is ok well balance..
snapdragon 400 is sufficient on Windows Phone..people need to understand that the WP is not a resource hungry platform..
i'm still using Lumia 800 with single core still feel snappy..
720p resolution also ok on 5"..camera with OIS and wireless charging built-in summore..
most penting one.. can put MicroSD.. 64gb RM100+ can get already

argghhh. i really need this 830. Hmm next week can withdraw sikit from ASB la

why not 930

hmmm.. 1st why do i need 930
even RM400-500 different can buy susu/pampers etc for my baby for a month hehe

the 830 got MicroSD and user replaceable battery..
snapdragon 800 only slightly better on few games.. and i'm not into hardcore games on a phone

yes i know the amoled 1080p sure looks good..my current lumia 800 also amoled.. so that one gonna downgrade sikit

but for me the expandable memory is lagi penting

930 more futureproof... guaranteed to get all future update


but 830 sexy

the expandable memory is indeed a key attraction for the 830, and which hobbles the 930 in lieu of Denim upgrade. What's the point of having a 20 mbps cam that can shoot in DNG and 4K vid but limited space to hold those pics/vid.

The 1520 seems to be the one that has it all.

yesss... how big is the 4k video in 1 minute on 930? i read before the Galaxy S5 using 350mb per minute. thats 3.5gb for 10 minute video.
1520 has it all but the size is too much for me 5" is the most ideal

btw Directd are selling 830 Avaxx set for RM1199 with free Coloud headphone.. is this consider good deal already?

not a bad deal

beli je lah beb...dat one consider cheap ady

btw coloud headphone gooding liao....im using one...coloud boom

Just got my Lumia 830, find that my power button feel very "flat" when compared to volume and camera button.

Press it also don't have the same feedback. Are you guys 830 power button also the same? Less potrude than volume n camera button?

yup same here, i believe the purpose is to prevent from hitting the power up button

yer tengah sabar..ASB cannot withdraw yet

they only give Coloud Knock.. review said not as good as Boom.

btw bro u stay in bangi? me in seksyen 2

Bandar Seri Putra actually

but selalu juga lah lepak bangi..

Anyone here bought tempered glass screen protector for L830?

Already bought 2 type. 1 from Ebay and 1 from lelong (nilkin).

Both not stick well at edge area. I mean very bad condition. Screen protector lift up about 0.5cm++ around screen protector.

Different from my L1520. Only have about 2~3mm not stick and the size almost same around the screen protector.

Curved screen mia pasal kot

I tried to find one also but so far found nothing.

when will the new Lumia Camera update avaialble? It should have HDR comes with it.

sorry guys.. terbeli Lumia 930.. got special prize RM1499 at Nokia store at the Curve.. while the 830 didn't have any discount price still Rm1399.. sad

btw got free Coloud Knock headphone also

Been using this phone for a while, like few days... I'm going to say this phone is not that bad when compared to L930. Here's my first impression.

What I really like about this phone is, it is much easier to hold it in my hand compared to L930. I have some trouble trying to reach the opposite side of screen (reaching right with thumb when holding with left hand) with my L930, I don't have much problem with L830. Understandably, the screen size is the same with L930 so I'm betting the thickness is playing the role here.

Despite the lower resolution, I think I like the screen more except that the color is a little washed out. I guess that's the advantage of AMOLED on L930. The black on L930 is blacker as well. But the one on L830 looks smoother and feels snappier.

I also noticed that L830 has better music reproduction as well, but I might be wrong here and I probably need to verify this but if you like music, I think you will like L830. SDCard memory expansion is welcomed for most people, but I don't really care much as I tend to keep most of my stuff on cloud anyway and my full libraries of MP3s are still around 2GB. I can't even fill 32GB space of L930.

However, I do have problems with this phone. Mainly, playing music over bluetooth. Somehow I think Windows Phone isn't really capable of handling this properly when the music is on SDCard. I keep on getting skipped audio whenever I play MP3s from SDCard. I do faced this issue before when I try L525 but L525 handles MP3s over bluetooth a lot better compared to this L830. It could be due to my old Class4 SDCard, but unless SDCard and Bluetooth is tied to the same IO I don't think any phone should have problems handling MP3s over bluetooth with such card. As this is a feature that I use daily when driving to work, this is really a turn off for me. Luckily I have Spotify in such ocassion.

I also am facing frequent crashes with my frequently used apps. I don't know why. It could be some updates for these apps are needed for Denim, or it could be the fact that I'm using a device with 1GB RAM like it has 2GB. Not exactly a game breaker for me as I've faced worse on Windows Phone previously but annoying nonetheless. Your mileage might vary though.

Gaming performance, I didn't really thoroughly test at this point but I'd say playable based on the most unoptimized, incomplete game I've seen Windows Phone Store; Angry Birds Epic. Framerate isn't as high as L930, noticeable with my eyes but it didn't really bother the gameplay. So, I would say you shouldn't expect any bad gaming performance on L830.

And, I dont know what sorcery did Microsoft apply on this L830 exactly but the battery life is phenomenal. It's actually much better compared to my L930. My L930 previously will always drain the battery around 4% - 5% per hour but this L830 hits impressively lowest 2% - 3% per hour. It could be that at that time not many background process is running yet but after 12hours, the phone consumed less than 50%. Even with my lack of usage I'd say that is impressive. Maybe next few days we will see the true colors of the battery life, but it is worth noting that my heaviest use was 11% - 12% per hour drain while on my L930 I can hit 15% per hour easily. Microsoft must've applied some sort of black magic here.

As for temperature, I'm very satisfied with this phone. I don't feel the warm I usually feel when I use L930 for browsing. It's a pleasant phone to use if temperature is your concern. In fact, this phone is the most comfortable phone I've ever used in terms of temperature so far.

Unfortunately, this phone is using Snapdragon 400 so it doesn't have "Hey, Cortana!".

Is this offer for L930 still on?

i think is over already .. the salesgirls said only for 2 days on that weekend.. and i got the last unit only black colour have.

yes
with 100 different ..for sure L930

lel

itu hari sembang mau angkat 830 haha

Just bought one yesterday, to replace my broken L720..
Anybody knows where I can get a good screen protector & silicone/gel grip (if any)?

Only managed to get L820 screen protector on at the moment.
Phone looked like it outgrew the screen protector size. Demmit.

I bought my screen protector at a Nokia shop Mines. Actually they said it is the same one as for Lumia 930 (both are 5 inch Lumia).

I don't use any case for my 830. I have not found anything that suit my taste. And it looks better without case. But eventually I think it will have to use one, just to be safe in case I drop the phone.

The battery lasts long before 830 uses ips screen. 930 uses amoled that consumes more power when you browse web page and anything that uses white color.

Try use class 10 memory card.

Nice note on IPS screen. But rather than the type of screen, I think the real reason why 830 battery lifetime is longer than my 930 is simply because of the type of CPU and what's running in background. The one I mentioned 2%-3% doesn't have much stuff running as it is still very new at the time of measurement. After a while, my 830 and 930 is discharging similarly. Not much of a different.

As per Class10 memory card, I think I'm moving my musics to phone memory and see if the problem persists first. Even if the problem goes away, I think it's Windows Phone platform is having trouble with lower class SDCard then. This memory card has been used for musics since Nokia 5800 MusicExpress and went to my Galaxy Note (the first one) and has no problem playing musics on both device before. I dont think Class4 is capable of bottlenecking the bandwidth by just simply playing MP3. Plus, I do sometimes get similar issue with Spotify playback as well but not all the time. So, it could just be the cpu is overwhelmed with background processes that I have whenever it is at lowest power state.

Has anyone got any firmware update and camera update yet?

Has anyone noticed delayed notification on whatsapp whenever screen is locked with latest update (webapp update)?

Hi guys, currently is there any promo for 830?

Planning to get 830 to replace my 820, need a phone with a bigger screen and perhaps better camera
And how's the battery life on 830?

soon i will make a review on .."Worth to upgrade from Lumia 920 to Lumia 830?"

first time do review ..so i wont cover a lot of thing

PS: from picture you can see "screen burn" aka yellowish IPS screen at lumia 920 ,AMOLED screen HD IPS panel as well at L830

PS: both brightness and color profile are set to highest and cold color temperature

Hello guys and gals.

Anyone knows if the gold version of 830 will be available here in Malaysia? Also where can I get the back cover? I have not really searching but would love to get white. Thanks.

one thing that i observed on microsoft camera apps

last time microsoft camera apps on lumia 920 come with spot focus
*which means if u touch some place ..it will adjust setting based on that point

but i can't get this feature in lumia 830 microsoft camera apps (830 always use wide focus)


for example

Lumia 920 (Microsoft Apps + all auto(include iso) + spot focus(touch on bright))


WP_20150129_010 by Fantasy1989@Lowyat.net, on Flickr


Lumia 830 (Microsoft apps + all auto(include iso) + wide focus)

WP_20150129_008 by Fantasy1989@Lowyat.net, on Flickr



did i missed some setting? i didnt recall that L920 need to change setting in order to do spot focus


both works fine on Lumia camera apps

New official update
