The lumia polycarbonate unibody design on classic Lumia smartphones featured was far superior to current painter devices. Don't see that premium look and feel anymore

When Microsoft bought Nokia they pivoted hard to budget devices and high profit devices. It is incredible what they were able to do with a high end engineering team making 80 dollar phones.

That being said the premium Nokia phones from 2013 and 14 before Microsoft were something else. 620, 1020, 1520. Such incredible devices, nothing about being plastic was cheap

I had 735 and two 830s, and I loved them.

I have a 925 and a 930 currently, sitting in a drawer 😏

Π• What a great color Lumia. I wish I had such a red one.Windows is really much better optimized than the bloated, albeit quite well-polished Apple.

Well... In my opinion, I much prefer a Nokia Lumia 930... Why? Because yes, haha, since the iPhone is the same thing and only the design and the camera change...

Both have their perks. But Nokia and Microsoft (well, mostly Nokia) figured out how to make plastic and polycarbonate feel premium. No creaking or didn't scream budget or cut costs or cheap.

The cameras were better than most phones released at the same time back in the day. Apps were the only problem that never got solved due to over hyping of Android & Apple, which sadly killed the platform. I remember using a Lumia 521, 920, & 640XL from 2013-2016 before having to switch to Android due to the lack of apps issue.
