If you’re an AT&T customer who has been eyeballing the
Nokia 830, you won’t have to wait much longer. AT&T confirmed that it will be carrying the “affordable flagship” phone, which is getting attention for having a stylish body and high-end features at what is expected to be a low price. Sadly, AT&T isn’t saying yet just what that price will be. It’s keeping mum about a release date, too, but given that Nokia expects the phone to be
available this month, AT&T’s plans probably aren’t much different.
Nokia Lumia 830 series
Despite being an unusually thin and light Windows 8.1 smartphone, the
Lumia 830 is loaded with hot hardware and software. The phone has a 10MP
PureView camera with ZEISS optics and a 1.GHz Snapdragon quad-core processor. And the display, which is being touted as being bright and clear even in sunlight, has the new curved Gorilla Glass 3. The phone will come with the
Lumia Denim Update already installed.
The news follows the recent launch of the Nokia Lumia 730 Dual SIM and
Lumia 735, which are being touted as good cameras for serious selfie takers, thanks to their cameras.

Josh cut his teeth (and hands) on his first PC upgrade in 2000 and was instantly hooked on all things tech. He took a degree in English and tech writing with him to
Computer Power User Magazine and spent years reviewing high-end workstations and gaming systems, processors, motherboards, memory and video cards. His enthusiasm for PC hardware also made him a natural fit for covering the burgeoning modding community, and he wrote
CPU’s “Mad Reader Mod” cover stories from the series’ inception until becoming the publication editor for
Smart Computing Magazine. A few years ago, he returned to his first love, reviewing smoking-hot PCs and components, for
HotHardware. When he’s not agonizing over benchmark scores, Josh is either running (very slowly) or spending time with family.
