Nokia clearly is hoping that its latest flagship smartphone, thanks to its updated software and top-end specifications, will help it fight off competition from the Samsung Galaxy S5 and Sony Xperia Z2.
Nokia Lumia 930 specs
The Nokia Lumia 930 is the sequel to the Nokia Lumia 925, and it improves on the last year's Windows Phone flagship's specifications.
The Nokia Lumia 920's standout feature is its 5in screen, which boasts Full HD 1080x1920 resolution and Nokia's Clear black display technology, which the firm claims offers 180 degree viewing angles. This display is driven by a quad-core 2.2GHz Qual comm Snapdragon 800 chip, which arrives paired with 2GB of RAM.
There's a 20MP camera on the rear of the Lumia 930, a huge improvement compared to the 8MP snapper found on the Lumia 925. Nokia's usual top-end camera features are onboard, including Carl Zeiss optics, optical image stabilization and LED flash. It is also capable of shooting HD 1080p video, and there's also a 1.2MP camera on the front of the device.
Under the bonnet, the Nokia Lumia 930 has a 2,420mAh battery, which the firm claims will offer up to 15.5 hours of talk time and a standby time of up to 18 days. Wireless charging support is also included, and the phone will ship with a free wireless charger.
Other specifications include Bluetooth 4.0, 32GB of internal storage - without a microSD card slot - and support for 4G LTE connectivity.

An updated flavor of HTC One (M8) with a 13MP dual camera setup on the back was recently launched in China and India. The phone is called HTC One (M8 Eye) and is otherwise absolutely identical with the original HTC One (M8).


HTC's UltraPixel technology was always criticized for sacrificing good light performance to achieve a small gain in low-light shots. In addition to the low-res shots, the 4MP sensor also limits the video recording capabilities to just 1080p (4K requires at least 8MP 16:9 sensor). It seems HTC is experimenting other possibilities with the HTC One (M8 Eye), but unfortunately the EU citizens won’t be able to try this new option.
HTC One (M8 Eye) is already available in China and India, but now we know we won't be seeing it in Europe. HTC Product Manager confirmed the One (M8 Eye) was designed for a limited market reach and especially for India. He also specified the original HTC One (M8) is still company's holiday flagship, even though there are new handsets like the selfie-centric HTC Desire Eye.
Well, there you have it. If you hope for a better HTC One (M8) for the holiday season - you can't have it unless you live in India or China.
By the way, the same HTC Product Manager shared that HTC Dot View case is company's most successful accessory ever and we'll be definitely seeing more of it in the future months
