14 DAY TRIAL // The Nokia Lumia 930 smartphone can now be seen listed as up for grabs in Italy, via two retailers, despite the fact that it was actually expected to arrive on shelves in the country only several days from now.
Last week, the smartphone was spotted on Microsoft Store in the country, with a price tag of €599.99 ($821) attached to it, but it was expected to become available for purchase only on July 10.
However, those of you who will go to Amazon Italy’s website today will see the mobile phone listed as already in stock, and those who would like to buy one will be able to order it immediately.
The online retailer lists the smartphone with a price tag of €579.90 ($794) attached to it, which is a bit lower when compared to what Microsoft is expected to have it price at officially.
However, it should be noted that the handset is not being sold by Amazon itself, but that the listing actually shows it as coming from MEGASCONTI, which is affiliated with the retailer, as Plaffo notes.
Those who are interested in getting the smartphone via Amazon should also know that it is up for grabs now in Black, Green, Orange and White flavors.
While one might believe that the phone went up for sale earlier by mistake, it appears that things might not be this way in the end. ePrice is also listing the phone as available for its users in Italy, priced at €599.99 ($821).
Nokia Lumia 930 was made official in early April, when the new Windows Phone 8.1 operating system went official, and will arrive on the market as the first high-end Lumia handset to run under the OS.
The mobile phone was announced with a 5-inch touchscreen display that can deliver a full HD resolution, as well as with a 2.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor inside.
The smartphone also features 2GB of RAM, as well as 32GB of internal memory, though it does not arrive on shelves with a microSD memory card slot for expansion purposes.
It does, however, sport a 20-megapixel camera on the back, with OIS, full HD video recording, dual-LED flash, and HDR. Moreover, it features a front camera to enable users to make video calls while on the go.
The smartphone also includes the usual set of connectivity capabilities, such as 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, and a built-in GPS receiver. Running under Windows Phone 8.1, the Lumia 930 also comes with a series of exclusive applications, such as MixRadio, Nokia Camera, and more.
