A proposed merger between the Microsoft & Nokia is still pending, but this does not prevent Nokia to bring in some new hardware. This time, Nokia has announced the Lumia 930, which is essentially the international version of the Lumia Icon. The Lumia 930 sports a 5" full HD display along with a 20-megapixel PureView camera with a Zeiss lens.
The camera is the star of the show here, as not only does it have optical image stabilization, but the phone also ships with a Creative Studio app that'll let you add Instagram-style filters to your snapshots. There's also a new feature called "Living Images" that can be weaved into Nokia's Storyteller application. Photos and videos are automatically sorted by time and location, and if you want to be all fancy, you can add music to the background when viewing the images.
Other features include four high-performance digital microphones, directional stereo recording on-board and a 2.2GHz Snapdragon 800 processor. Of course, it also runs the latest Windows Phone 8.1 firmware, which promises plenty of new goodies like a notification center (finally!) and Cortana, Windows' answer to Siri and Google Now.
It also has something called "SensorCore," which apparently is hooked up to Bing Health & Fitness. Elop said that the Lumia 930 will launch first in Europe starting in June, and will be available in Asia and other markets at a later date. It should be on more than 100 operators for around $599 each.
Unfortunately, US dates have not been announced, but that could be because we already have it in the form of the Icon.
