Will 830 get hey cortana

[bozza72]

Hi all thinki8ng of trading my 1520 for a shiny new 830 but Ive read the it might not get hey cortana..... anyone shed anymore light on this as this would be a deal breaker for me.
cheers

No, Hey Cortana will only be supported by snapdragon 800+ chipsets. The 830 has a 400

Thanks but that's one thing that pisses me off about lumias, you cant get everything you want from one phone, 930 no glance screen or SD card slot 830 no hey Cortana. And possible other updates, my 1520 has everything I want but is just too big, I guess it'll be a 930 for me next then

I would wait to see what windows 10 offers, and what phones come out with that

Can you really not get used to the size. With my 1520 I can't see myself getting a smaller phone from here

My wife has the 930 and every time i pick it up it just fits right in my hand,
As they say the grass is always greener and il probably regret it but the 1520 is just too big when will lumia do a 5.5 screen with sd card coz thats the one i want

Or in this case the only downside would be the size. Literally it is essentially the best Lumia on the market even with the att version lacking qi in favor of pma. Simply because the 1520 has everything of the 930 WITH an SD card slot and glance.

Well the OP is kinda right, there is no Lumia out on which one can experience all Lumia features, the 1520 is the closest all-round phone but the size is a deal breaker (it's a phablet). The 830 is second closest, with the Hey Cortana feature missing.

It's surprising how Nokia had created such a feature rich Lumia 920 and now Microsoft Mobile don't have a single flagship phone (1520 - phablet, 830 - no passive Cortana, 930 - no Glance)

I really hope Microsoft releases a complete feature rich phone with all the features Windows phone can make use of (ideal would be a Lumia 930 with Glance and microSD)

You forgot one essential feature (for some), an insane battery life

yep gonna miss that battery life & glance & my sd slot but the 1520 was starting to give me RSI so will just have to make do,

The 930 is a flagship and an upgrade to the 920 in every conceivable way. Lack of glance doesn't make it less capable.

it's just that the aquisition messed up the whole release schedule by months. Plus there was the Goldfinger/Mclaren device that got delayed and left a void for this quarter.

But one thing i am sure of, they will show a flagship either at CES or MWC. they've always had one launch every quarter so that will be a good place to show up with a 1530 or 1030 with snapdragon 805 most likely, before a 900 series device in q2 with w10 out of the box and hopefully with a snapdragon 810 out of the box to be in line with android flagships. Although i would preffer the 1030 to have a s810 to have the fastest more feature rich camera on the market with no compromise in speed and reliability
