What we expect
 
What is Microsoft announcing? So far all indications are pointing to two new Lumia Windows Phones, including:

  • Lumia 730 ? Featuring a 4-7-inch HD display, 5 MP front-facing camera, 1 GB of RAM and unibody design, this successor to the popular Lumia 720 should be a hit for those looking for a premium budget phone
  • Lumia 830 ? The followup to the Lumia 820 from 2012 should deliver an affordable flagship design with its 5-inch HD display and rumored 10 MP PureView camera. The design itself is very reminiscent of the current Lumia 930, but reportedly it is thinner
  • Accessories and new firmware? Microsoft and Nokia rarely just announce new phones and then walk off the stage. Nope. Usually there are supporting accessories and new gadgets to go along with it, and we would not be surprised to see some new creations from the Mobile Devices team revealed in two days. Likewise, we reported on the followup to the Lumia Cyan software codenamed 'Debian Red', which we are hoping gets some light shed on it in Berlin.

You beat me to it, I was going to make this topic in a bit.

 

2hrs 40mins to go!

 

http://conversations.nokia.com/2014/09/01/ready-for-morelumia/  For live stream of the event.

I missed the first 5mins of the event but now they're showing the camera software improvements coming.


Oh, they've talking about the Lumia Denim firmware update. 


Lumia 830 just shown for the first time.

Oh god, that miracast device name, it looks pretty nice but come on MS, what's with the crazy names?


Lumia 830 will be 330 Euros before taxes and so on.  Not bad, it has good specs.

Hey Cortland passive voice coming to Lumia firmware denim and faster camera speed yay,

 

Nokia camera (formerly pro cam and smart cam) is now Lumia camera


500 apps per week
 
320K apps in the WP Store

Somehow wpcenteal reports the new Lumia selfie app works on Lumia 530. But it does not have a front camera right? :rofl:

 

The app can use your rear camera, it'll beep until your face is centered and then take the picture, don't need to see the screen.

I like the prices overall, also the fact that they're going to hit retail this month and not months from now like before.  

 

330euros for the 830 and 199euros for the 730.  The 735 is 219euros. 

 

73x has a 5MP front camera and a 6.7MP rear camera.

Here are the full specs for the two phones.

I'm hoping the Glance screen abilities are something they make part of the OS itself and that anyone can get if they have the right display required for it to work.   It's also good that these are going to go to market this month iirc.    I'm hoping they can release high end flagship devices in a few months, I"m thinking for November maybe, next up.

 

If you look at it, they seem to be on a new cycle, starting with the low end, now mid-range and next up should be high-end and phablets.  We got the 630 and later the 530 in June-July.  Now the 730 and 830 in September, so 2-3 months apart, would mean that if this is the new trend for Lumia, we'll see a 1030 and so on in November, before the holidays.

And from what I've been reading, the 830 and 730/735 are only going to be available in Europe, not the United States? If that's the case, that's an epic failure on Microsoft's part.

 

I haven't seen that stated, they haven't said it officially anywhere and the WPCentral guys haven't said that, they're usually on top of these details.

720 never made it to the US either, right? US only had 820 but it felt more of a step child that tagged along the ride.

 

Phone subsidies in the US market makes it difficult to market I think. You either have extreme low end in $99-149 no contract (530-63x) or extreme high end in $99-199 (930 and above) with standard 2 year contracts.

 

Personally I think MS is better off selling unlocked 730-830 from their own stores.

Apparently since the 4K video is not coming to lower ends, a HD moments feature will be added instead of moments capture. To Lumia Camera that is.

    • Microsoft finally admits its default Windows 11 25H2, 24H2 action broke key legacy component by Sayan Sen Microsoft last week released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. So far the company has acknowledged two known issues that have popped up after the release which include bugged-out Office apps as well as the Recycle Bin; though there could be more at play too. Speaking of bugs and issues, Microsoft seems to have finally acknowledged a problem that probably has been around for close to a year. That's because back in July of 2025 the company made a default change to the latest Windows 11 versions, wherein it switched to JScript9Legacy on Windows 11 24H2 and later releases. Hence following the release of version 25H2 in October 2025, JScript9Legacy also remained default-enabled. As a result there has been a compatibility issue ever since then. For those wondering, by switching to JScript9Legacy Microsoft intended to improve the security of modern Windows PCs by reducing vulnerabilities tied to legacy scripting like cross-site scripting (XSS), among others. XSS exploits can allow cyber-attackers to attach malicious code onto legitimate websites and use them to execute the code when a potential victim loads such a website. Hence the new JScript9Legacy engine enforced stricter execution policies and improved object handling, which should help mitigate such attacks. Microsoft today has published a new support article detailing the problem. Neowin spotted it while browsing. The company says that JScript global definitions and execution context may fail to persist across scripts, potentially breaking older dependent apps and web-based components that relied on this legacy behavior. In the article Microsoft has confirmed that the issue stems from its move away from the older jscript9.dll engine in favor of jscript9legacy.dll. As mentioned above, while the newer engine was designed to address vulnerabilities and strengthen security it also changes how JScript handles execution context. As a result functions and definitions loaded by one script could no longer remain available to subsequent scripts once execution ended. The company notes that some applications worked correctly on earlier Windows versions because the older JScript engine automatically retained global definitions and execution state between scripts. Under the newer model though that behavior is disabled by default causing certain legacy workloads and polyfill-dependent scripts to fail. Microsoft says it addressed the problem via the KB5077241 update though the fix had not been enabled automatically in the following updates. As such admins must explicitly turn on persistent JScript execution context using a Registry setting that the tech giant shared today. The configuration can be applied to individual processes or system-wide through the FEATURE_ENABLE_PERSISTENCE registry key. The steps have been outlined below: Run the following command to create the feature control registry key: reg add "HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\FeatureControl\FEATURE_ENABLE_PERSISTENCE" Under this key, create a new DWORD (32-bit) value. Configure the value as follows: To enable persistence for specific processes only: Set the value to 1 for each target process name. To enable persistence for all processes: Add * as the key name and set its value to 1. You can find the official support article here on Microsoft's website.
