You will also notice two bands of darker grey at the top around the headphone jack, and at the bottom around the USB port. The review device I received had the orange back, and it is certainly bright and exciting. This design, coupled with the nicely curved glass on the front of the phone, makes for a very nice looking phone. The pillowed polycarbonate back on the 930 is available in four colors РІР‚вЂњ white, black, green, and orange РІР‚вЂњ to give the owner a chance to pick something unique to them. The Lumia 930 combines both the 925 and 928 designs, with its sides being made of a metal frame like the 925, but rather than the rounded sides of the 920 and 925, the 930 borrows the shape from the 928 with the straight sides and tight radius corners. Lumia 920 (left) Lumia 925 (center) Lumia 928 (right) There are two distinct features of the 925 compared to all other Lumia unibody phones РІР‚вЂњ a focus on light weight, with the phone coming in at just 139 grams, and a metal band around the outside of the phone to give it a more upscale look and feel, while also serving as the antennae for the phone. The second phone launched in May was available to a more global audience than the 928, and that was the 925. At 162 grams, the 928 shaved over 20 grams off of the 920РІР‚в„ўs design but kept the unibody polycarbonate design. This phone was only available on Verizon, but certainly shares a lot of the look and feel with the 930. The shape is very much the same, with straight sides and tight radius corners, and a slightly pillowed back. The first was the 928 which is a device which offers a lot of similarities with the new 930. In May 2013, two new devices were launched by Nokia as a retake on the 920. Phones closer to the size of the 920 were also lighter, such as the HTC 8X which was a positively svelte 130 grams by comparison to the 920. As a comparison, the iPhone 5 was launched just before the 920 was released, and it came in at only 112 grams. The Lumia 920 was known for a great camera, and a robust 185 gram weight, which was quite heavy for a 4.5РІР‚Сњ phone.

It bumped the display up to 4.5РІР‚Сњ and leaned heavily on the look and feel of the 800 and 900 with rounded sides and squared off corners.

The Lumia 920 was the first Nokia unibody phone running Windows Phone 8. The timing of this device couldnРІР‚в„ўt have been at a worse time though with the internals not being capable enough to run Windows Phone 8 which came out later that year. Then, the Lumia 900 was released which bumped the display from 3.8РІР‚Сњ to 4.3РІР‚Сњ and shared a design that was mostly similar to the 800 РІР‚вЂњ rounded sides, but squared off corners. The Lumia 800 was a solid polycarbonate phone with a rounded glass front which was very similar to the short lived Nokia N9 running MeeGo. When Nokia first came on the Windows Phone scene, the first phone was the Nokia Lumia 800.

Let us do a quick history on the Lumia unibody phones, since the Lumia 930 really takes a lot of design cues from past models. Nokia has done a good job of evolving the design of their unibody phones since the N9 and Lumia 800 first came on the scene several years ago. The design of the Lumia 930 is an evolution of the all polycarbonate shell which first appeared with the Nokia N9, and was then evolved to become the basis of all of the unibody Lumia phones.
