Microsoft is expected to announce two new Windows Phone handsets in the next couple of weeks and one of them will make its way into the United States at AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon.

Nokia Lumia 830 is a Windows Phone handset that’s supposed to arrive very soon on the market and boost Microsoft’s portfolio of mid-range smartphones. Although we don’t have an official release date confirmed yet, there’s a high chance that the Lumia 830 might be unveiled early next month.

Along with the Lumia 830, Microsoft may also announce another mid-range Windows Phone handset, the Nokia Lumia 730, which has already leaked online.

Microsoft recently sent invitations for an event scheduled for September 4, which points to a Lumia 730 reveal, but there’s a high chance that we will see the Lumia 830 being unveiled during the same conference.

Just like the Lumia 730, Nokia Lumia 830 will run Microsoft’s Windows Phone 8.1 Update 1 operating system out of the box. Considering this is the spiritual successor of Lumia 820 that’s been released on the market almost 2 years ago, we expect it to be slightly better when it comes to hardware.

It’s clear that the Lumia 830 will come with a newer version of Windows Phone, but the older Lumia 820 will eventually receive a Windows Phone 8.1 update as well.

According to the latest hearsay, Nokia Lumia 830 may be the first mid-range smartphone to pack a PureView camera. Rumors claim that the smartphone will boast a 20-megapixel rear-facing photo snapper, as well as more than decent secondary camera in the front.

The smartphone is also said to offer LTE support, as well as mid-size 4.5-inch capacitive touchscreen display. Unfortunately, aside from these details, we don’t know anything else about the Lumia 830 in terms of specs.

However, thanks to the latest images leaked from China by tipster “NokiBar,” we do know that Nokia Lumia 830 will be available for purchase in multiple color options, including green, orange yellow and white (gray?).

From previous leaks we have also learned that the unannounced Windows Phone handset will go on sale in the United States at three major carriers: AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon Wireless.

The bad news is that we don’t know whether or not the Lumia 830 will be available in the United States at all carriers mentioned earlier, around the same timeframe.

Usually, new smartphones are not launched by US operators at the same time, so there’s a very slim chance that Lumia 830 will go on sale at AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon on the same day.
