The Lumia 830 is an adequate phone for its price, but it has some tough competition from the ranks of Android.

Microsoft correctly labels the Nokia Lumia 830 as an "affordable flagship," with an appealing mix of performance, features, and price. And the phone will improve somewhat once Microsoft pushes the Lumia Camera app to the phone.

If "affordable flagship" sounds like an oxymoron to you, you haven't met the Lumia 830. It's a fine ending for the former Finnish phone-maker.

Not top-of-the-range, and not budget - but the Lumia 830 isn't just right either

Nokia Lumia 830

Launched at IFA 2014 and available for just over a week now, here's my review of the new 'Nokia Lumia 830' - if you look very, very closely at the small print, there's mention of 'Microsoft Mobile' (expect future Lumias to have Microsoft much higher in the mix though). Billed as an 'affordable flagship', the 830 does get most of the way to fulfilling this claim, perhaps only falling short at the moment because the software that enables much of its main USP is currently missing in action.

The Lumia 830 isn't blow-you-away amazing, but strikes a good balance between price and performance.

The thinnest Windows Phone 8.1 mobile around, but is it thin on substance too?
