Lumia 830 Display

The Lumia 830 features a 5-inch, 720p display (which works out to 293 pixels per inch) that looks sharp and dense.

Lumia 830 Back

The Lumia 830 comes with a 2,200mAh battery, and features wireless charging via the Qi standard, which is a nice feature to see in a midrange phone.

Lumia 830 Profile

The Lumia 830 has a sleek metal frame around the edges, and a removable back cover that bumps out slightly.

Lumia 830 Camera

Nokia is making a big deal about the 830's camera, which is a 10-megapixel PureView lens with Zeiss optics and optical image stabilization.

Lumia 730/735 Display

The Lumia 730 and Lumia 735 each have 4.7-inch, 720p OLED displays, which means that they are technically sharper than the Lumia 830 at 316 pixels per inch.

Lumia 730/735 Back

Like the Lumia 830, the back cover of the phone pulls off here, and you get wireless charging support (on the Lumia 735, but not the 730).

Lumia 730/735 Profile

The Lumia 730 and 735 feature rounded edges on the top and bottom, which bring the now-vintage Lumia 920 to mind.

Lumia 730/735 Selfies

The focus here is on Skype and selfies, thanks to a 5-megapixel front-facing camera with wide-angle lens.

Wireless Charging Plate

The Wireless Charging Plate automatically glows underneath when you place a device on top. You can customize the light to represent notifications.

Microsoft Screen Sharing

The Microsoft Screen Sharing devices comes with a NFC plate that sits on top, and lets you automatically connect whenever you tap it to your phone.

Microsoft Screen Sharing

Microsoft Screen Sharing lets you beam content from your Windows Phone to any HDMI-enabled screen.
