Nokia showcases Lumia 930 and dual-SIM Lumia 630, 635 smartphones

Microsoft's Build conference was not only about Windows Phone 8.1 software last night as Nokia managed to share its spotlight at the event by introducing three new Lumia devices out of which one becomes the company's flagship model for 2014. Lumia 930 is the company's first top-end device that comes in the 5 inch form factor and is priced at $599 with availability expected around June-July across the globe.

The phone sports a 5 inch 1080p display, packs the 2.2 GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 chipset with 2 GB RAM, 20 MP PureView and 1.2 MP front cameras, 32 GB in-built storage, and Qi charging for its loaded 2,420 mAh battery. The phone comes in color options like bright orange, bright green, black, and white which have become synonymous with Lumia devices lately.

The other devices to make their way fall in the budget segment and branded as Lumia 630 and 635. These devices typically can be seen as the upgrade for Lumia 620 but falls short on that. What do we mean by that? The phone comes with a bigger 4.5 inch ClearBlack display, packs the quad-core Snapdragon 400 chipset for the first time which is clubbed with mere 512 MB RAM, then you have 5 MP rear camera only sans LED flash, 8 GB onboard storage with microSD card slot and loaded 1830 mAh battery.

The Lumia 635 is pretty much the same in terms of the hardware aspect but comes in single SIM option while Lumia 630 is available in dual-SIM option as well, another first for Microsoft and Nokia. The Lumia 630 and 635 are priced between $159 and $189 and will be making their appearances in India sometime in May which should not be at more than Rs 12,000 for both of them.
