It has AMOLED screen with good results and famous for Nokia Clear Black branding.

It is not as efficient as the latest Android phones using Snapdragon 801 chips; windows phone is power efficient and has good performance as the Window mobiles are reputed for.
Lumia 930 has wonderful features being a windows mobile phone but seems to concentrate all its skills in its camera. It has 20-megapixel sensor of 1/2.5-inch size like Galaxy S5, but has OIS packed in too.
The camera can perform well in all conditions of light, high-resolution sensor performs well and shows excellent detail levels in bright light, and on the contrary its optical image stabilization performs well under low-light environments. Before reviewing it, all details should be examined well, as the sensor pixels of this phone are very small therefore small camera sensor pixel cannot be dependable under tricky lighting.

However Nokia stands up to this bold claim because Nokia has been winner on this side.
WEAK POINTS
