Upgrade from Lumia 820 and 520

Do you think getting Lumia 730 would be an upgrade from Lumia 820, which I have now? I also have Lumia 520, which I use as second phone when traveling abroad.

I think the Lumia 830 is great upgrade for you overall. But if you want to go high end without breaking the bank you can go to 1520.

Thanks for your view, I totally agree, if I weren't after dual SIM phone. L830 seems like a great option indeed.
I am, however, looking for single device to replace currently two I'm using, i.e., L820, and L520. L730 would be perfect in any sense if it had that feature I'm really used to it, and which I find very handy - glance screen.

So you know that only the L830 has Glance ?

As far as I know, glance so far have these lumias: 620, 720, 820, 830, 920, 925, 1020, 1320, and 1520. No dual SIM windows phone has it, to my knowledge.

I'm also running a Lumia 820. I disabled glance to see if I can live without. And though I still miss glance, I now know I can live without.
Looking at all other aspects, yes, a Lumia 730/735 is a worthy upgrade, and I will get a Lumia 735 as soon as I can buy it.
Also the pricing is great compared to what I paid 2 years ago for a Lumia 820.

 

[Igor_BL]

That is good idea. Will do the same, and see if I can live without it.

I have a 822 and am thinking of getting a 735. Will the 735 have a better camera in terms of speed compared to the 822? I know the 735 will have less megapixels but I was wondering if the speed will be improved. The 822 is so slow taking pictures it gets irritating.

You might as well get an 830. 10mp pureview is better than a 6.7mp Zeiss.

True to be honest I don't have the confidence I used to have in Windows Phone OS and am thinking of just buying a phone outright and waiting to use my upgrade when a potential WP flagship comes out or if WP is still faltering I will switch. If a 735 is $200 and it still supports Qi charging I will forget about glance and get that.
