Hey everyone. This is my first post here, and I would like to see some opinions from users with the devices mentioned on the title: Lumia 735, Lumia 830 and Lumia 650.
I am currently owner of a Lumia 530, running Windows 10 (with some tricks...), but battery is just small (~1400mAh) and the device is 2 years old, so battery life is becoming bad. Also, Lumia 530 has a Snapdragon 200 and 512MB, so I feel that when I really need to multitask and get things done, this is just not possible. Browsing on Edge is a pain due the lack of memory. Same for others apps, that just crash or make my phone shutdown/reboot. I know, Windows 10 has its issues, but I believe all this bad experience is also due the lack of RAM. (Windows 10 it self consumes around 350 on this device, so yeah...). Moreover, with Lumia phones at low prices and running out of stock, I think it's a good time to buy one, despite the fact I am aware that Microsoft could just leave the platform...
As a Lumia 530 user, any of the three mentioned devices will provide me a better (a much better, I hope) experience. I just can't decide which one, and I hope to get some help from you :)
What am I looking for?
- Well, I use my phone to entertain my self, I listen to a lot of music, watch many docs and do light browsing, messaging and calling. Not heavy tasks nor gaming, but I am looking for enough performance that allows me multi tasking without resuming's everywhere and apps crashing all the time... Battery life is also very important for me.
- Camera doesn't really matter as I only take photos of my annotations from college to share with friends;
- Screen is not something I care either. Pixels density, colors... On paper the three devices are similar, bu they have different screen technologies and that could be a game changer because of battery life. A dark theme, should help a lot saving power on such devices. That's the only thing I actually worry about screen at this moment.
- As I said, I am looking for a responsive phone, so performance is a bit important for me. I have seen reviews of Lumia 830 and 735 and they are seem capable phones, and run very well... with WP 8.1. I couldn't find how these devices perform when running W10m and how do they compare to Lumia 650. Despite the Lumia 650 has a S212, it doesn't look as bad as I was expecting. It performs more or less the same as Lumia 640... But is it better than L830 or L735 sporting a old S400? I am assuming L830 and L735 perform similarly as they were released at same time, probably have same kind of storage speeds, RAM speeds, etc.
Weight - I also know that Lumia 650 is much lighter than 830 and 735. It's even lighter than my Lumia 530, which is amazing. However that is not something that concerns me.
So, I covered some topics that were used as arguments when comparing L830 with L650, for example, just to give you an idea I am simple guy, and very few details really matter to me :)
There are some features differences that I am aware. Lumia 735 doesn't have Glance (shame... Glance makes a lot of sense on OLED displays, in my opinion), doesn't feature double tap to wake. However, I am not sure if those features are really important for me. I never used them before... so, even if I purchase the L735 I won't feel something is missing. However, they are interesting features in my opinion. Still about features, is there anything else I am missing?
I saw on a review that actions buttons on Lumia 830 (that aren't on-screen) are not very responsive, what do you think about that when compared to on-screen navigation bar?
I have already saw some opinions around WindowsCentral and on some other places, but they are old threads and for me is important understand how those devices run with Anniversary Update for example, or Redstone 2 builds. :)
Hope you can share your experience, especially if you already played with both devices. Thanks for reading and oh... sorry if my English is not that good :p
