Stunning screen

One of the best features of the Lumia 930 is the razor-sharp screen. It has a wide range of colors that pop off of the screen like fireworks.

The Nokia Lumia 930 was already established as an excellent Windows 8.1 phone. Now with its fashionable gold trim, style-conscious shoppers can really feel like winners when picking up this handset.
