By the way, TK tech news said the 830 news was from a fake source. So there will be one version.
There are two ways it is worse. It has a 720p screen and a 13 MP camera with one flash. There are also two ways it is better, it has a bigger battery, and it is thinner.

Yes! If the global release is 5" then I don't see myself getting a 930 anymore.

Lol I was in disbelief when this got reported.
Sort of relieved it is fake.
MS is stupid but not to that extent thank goodness.
Earlier leaks told that there will be 3 similar devices - RM-983, RM-984, RM-985. So there should be 3 devices with similar specs. Maybe there is a difference in screen size or dual sim or LTE support.
That too is possible. Who knows. Just fingers crossed till 4th Sept.I wonder if that's simply (global version), (CDMA/Verizon), and (ATT/TMo). I hope the specs are the same with just different radios
This apparent leak suggests a 5", IPS LCD display (which should allow for Glance), and 720p. Even with 720p, I might be game so long as there's 2GB RAM, Qi, and a SD 800/801 on board. I'm still slightly more fond of the 930's design (corners slightly more rounded in better proportion to the display) and I'd be a bit more excited about the 830 if the design was identical, but it's nice too. Exchangeable backs/battery are an advantage of the 830 though.

Doubt there's going to be an 800/801 or 2gb of ram, but I'd lean more towards the 6xx series with 1gb of ram, which is still beast in its own right. Either way, all that with the microSD slot, and you have a win.
Beyond that, it's entirely speculation, but my personal speculation is a camera with the same or modestly lower resolution (20mp or less), but with a larger sensor. A larger sensor (like that found in the 1020) could explain the dedicated housing, and also the "missing" LED, since a larger sensor (along with the OIS pioneered in the 920) allows for better low-light performance and thus less need for artificial illumination.
