Mid-range smartphone battle: iPhone 6 vs Nokia Lumia 830
After comparing the iPhone 6 Plus to the Lumia 930 let’s have a look at Apple and Nokia’s affordable flagships – the 4.7-inch iPhone 6 and the Nokia Lumia 830.
| iPhone 6 | Nokia Lumia 830 | |
| Dimensions | 138.1 x 67 x 6.9 mm | 139.4 x 70.7 x 8.5 mm |
| Weight | 129g | 150g |
| Display | 4.7 inches, 750 x 1334 pixels, 326 ppi | 5.0 inches , 720 x 1280 pixels, 294 ppi |
| Processor | Apple A8 , Dual-core 1.4 GHz Cyclone | Snapdragon 400 , Quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 |
| RAM | 1GB | 1GB |
| Storage | 16/64/128 GB | 16 GB |
| microSD | No | Yes, up to 128 GB |
| Camera | 8 MP, Dual LED | 10 MP, Carl Zeiss, OIS, LED flash |
| Front-facing camera | 1.2MP | 0.9MP |
| Dolby Digital Plus | No | Yes |
| Battery | 1810 mAh, stand-by up to 250 h | 2200 mAh, standby up to 528 hours |
| Fingerprint sensor | Yes | No |
| Wireless charging | No | Yes |
| NFC | Yes | Yes |
| Price | $649 (16GB), $749 (64GB), $849(128GB) | $430 |
Both phones are by no means high-end devices and both Microsoft and Apple don’t offer anything revolutionary here. The iPhone 6, however, is thinner and lighter, has a better processor and a slightly more dense screen.
Lumia’s 830 camera module, on the other hand, should deliver better images as it features a 10-megapixel PureView sensor with Optical Image Stabilization. iPhone 6’s camera lacks OIS and offer less pixels.
With iPhone 6, Apple finally offered NFC to its consumers and this has been described as ”huge innovation”. Well done guys, but Nokia 6131 had NFC more than 8 years before iPhone.
Of course, the iPhone 6 is far more expensive than the 830. If you choose the 16 GB version (it will be useless if you download many apps, games, multimedia and take photos) you need to pay $219 more than the Nokia Lumia 830 which has a microSD for expansion.
So, what is your opinion about the Iphone6 and the Lumia 830? Are you willing to pay $219 extra for having an Apple on the back?
