    Windows Phone 8.1 vs Windows 10 Mobile

    Still 8.1 on my 930. Windows 10 didn't give me problems of any sort, and the performance were good, but not as good as 8.1. It may be just my impression, but Windows 10 does everything just SLIGHTLY later. And well... I preferred the design of 8.1. It was fun, easy, colorful and much more mobile...

    Man, you saved my photo experience. Thank you.

    Buying a Lumia 930 in 2017 - an experience

    Now that's just going too far, my friend! :)I'm new to the Lumia family, until now I've used Android and iOS, especially the first. My last phone was a Nexus 6P, that died due to the faulty battery that basically met its expiration date... But I was tired of the usual Android-iOS clone wars, to...

    Buying a Lumia 930 in 2017 - an experience

    True enough. I don't have any mic issue though, so I'm crossing my fingers for that one. And i'm on w10 so... By the way, that's true, it doesn'toffer as much as it could have. Maybe even should have. But I tried both and in the end, the one that gave me a superior experience was the 930. It...

    Buying a Lumia 930 in 2017 - an experience

    Sorry for your mic, man ;P You know, i'm not a very camera-heavy user, so the camera point it's relatively interesting for me. But I do like to snap good photos from time to time, and for that, the 20mp camera of the 930 does its job well and without many problems. Besides, i wanted to try out...

    Buying a Lumia 930 in 2017 - an experience

    So, I come from a Lumia 1520, that I bought on Amazon a week ago and that I had to send back because it simply was broken. Browsing the web for another Lumia to buy, my eyes stops upon this tiny wonder that is the 930. It was love at first sight. Bought one from a friend for 130 bucks. I never...

    Using the Lumia 1520 in 2017- (yet another) Experience.

    Well, i've done it. Sent back my defective Lumia 1520 and got from a friend for 130 bucks a shiny new 930. Which it's what I'm using right now. I never loved under-5'5 inches screens, but holy hell how Windows scales well on both large and tinier devices... Lovin'it so far.

    $999.00 PC that you can't install an alternative browser by default!?

    I'd upgrade to pro too, but for different reasons. I love Edge, so that's not my problem. But Windows 10 S can only use the Store apps. Now, that normally wouldn't be much of a problem, but given the current state of the Store itself, it just doesn't provide enough utility to justify a whole...

    Using the Lumia 1520 in 2017- (yet another) Experience.

    Well, given their age, it's quite impossible to find a Lumia 930 or 1520 brand new... The best you can hope for is a refurbished one. Or a lightly used one. I get what you're saying with the screen, and that's right. But i think something like a flagship should be great in all aspects. Besides...

    Using the Lumia 1520 in 2017- (yet another) Experience.

    That's 100% true . But if you want some real camera quality you're forced back to 8.1. Windows 10 Mobile it's so aggressive on post processing that the image it's actually ruined. And the whole camera software experience is much better on 8.1, easier, snappier. Pictures are crisp and clear...

    Using the Lumia 1520 in 2017- (yet another) Experience.

    I ain't really too keen on the 950/950xl. Be it because i prefer 8.1 to 10, or simply because the designers of those devices didn't really learn anything at all from the Lumia as a whole, it just looks and feels cheap. It doesn't scream "hey, look out, i'm the flagship for Windows Phone, and you...

    Using the Lumia 1520 in 2017- (yet another) Experience.

    Update: turns out the Lumia I bought overheated not because it had a lot of things to do, but because the guys that sold it to me on Amazon "forgot" to say that it wasn't working properly... So my refund is on the way. Pretty much sure i'll buy another one, tho. The experience I got from this...
