14 DAY TRIAL // Nokia Lumia 630 is now making its way into the market, but what about its bigger and better brother, the Lumia 930? Well, those eagerly waiting to reserve their Lumia 930 smartphone ahead of its market release will be pleased to know that the device is now available for pre-order.
Italian blog Plaffo reports that Windows Phone fans can now pre-order the Nokia Lumia 930 through Amazon Germany and Amazon France. Regardless from where customers decide to reserve the smartphone, they will be required to come up with the same €580 ($795) amount upfront.
The good news is that Lumia 930 is available in multiple color options, including orange, green, black and white. However, the retailers do not offer any details on the exact release date of the smartphone, so we must assume that they have yet to be informed by Microsoft when the first shipment of units will be sent.
According to Microsoft, Nokia Lumia 630 will be launched in the UK on May 29, followed by other European countries in the next couple of days.
This means that the Lumia 930 could arrive in the first two weeks of June, but we will keep an eye out for any additional details on this one.
Unlike other Lumia smartphones available on the market, Nokia Lumia 930 comes with Windows Phone 8.1 and Lumia Cyan update onboard right out of the box.
This means that customers who purchase the smartphone will be able to take advantage of the new features and improvements included in these updates right away.
It is also worth mentioning that Nokia Lumia 930 will be one of the most powerful Windows Phone handsets on the market when it goes on sale next month.
The smartphone is equipped with a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor clocked at 2.2GHz, which is complemented by an Adreno 330 graphics processing unit and 2GB of RAM.
Another strong point of the Lumia 930 would be the stunning 5-inch AMOLED capacitive touchscreen display that supports full HD (1080p) resolution and features Corning Gorilla Glass 3 coating.
The smartphone comes packed with 32GB of internal memory, but lacks microSD card slot, so this is all that users will get aside from the free cloud storage space offered via OneDrive.
On the back, the Lumia 930 boasts an impressive 20-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, OIS (optical image stabilization), autofocus, dual-LED flash and full HD (1080p) video recording. There’s also a secondary 1.2-megapixel front-facing camera for video calls and selfies.
