Nokia Lumia 930 Now Available For Pre-Order In Europe for 550 Euros

With such a high asking price, will the Windows Phone flagship keep up with the rest of the smartphones?

 

European retailers have finally started offering the Nokia Lumia 930 for a high-fetched price of 550 euros. When converted to Indian monies, the Rs 49,000 price tag does seems a bit too steep. Nokia seems to be all geared up for their upcoming launch of the Lumia 930. While we have yet to receive an invite for the official launch in India, we can still clearly say that it will take place before the end of June.

Many European retailers in Germany and even Amazon in France now show the Nokia Lumia 930 on pre-order for a price tag of 580 Euros. The phone will certainly hit stores before the big Lumia Cyan update becomes available for the rest of the Nokia Lumia devices, after which will it will fail to remain exclusive. The device still is a bit too expensive if you ask us.

Why? Do you ask? Well, the Lumia 930 does come with last year’s processor the Snapdragon 800 and 2GB of RAM, which although pretty powerful in the Windows Phone space, will still be considered old in a few months. Then comes the fact that the Nokia Lumia 1520 (which also is an excellent device) retails for around Rs 40,000 and comes with a bigger screen, expandable storage and a much longer battery life as well.

The excellent optics of the Lumia 930 still remain the same and produce stunning images which can easily stand up to the latest smartphones in the Android space. What does not stand a chance is the lack of 4K video which every Android smartphone flagship this year comes with (minus the HTC One M8). Then there is always the lack of quality polished apps (the sudden disappearance of WhatsApp does not improve things as well) which somehow fail to make it to the Windows Phone Store and end up with a few less features.



Some may say that 4K adoption is too slow and that it may not be a big deal. They have obviously not seen the picture quality that 4K video delivers. It was the same case with Full HD video on a smartphone; but look where we are now…

Nokia always has the habit of omitting that one thing that makes their phones complete. So by omitting the 41MP sensor from the 1020, is the Nokia Lumia 930 a case of ‘too little too late’?
