A slight pillowing of the back panel makes the 930 comfortable to hold, and with a 5-inch display, it has much more agreeable dimensions than the 6-inch Lumia 1520. The aluminum band spanning the perimeter of the phone is a nice reminder you're dealing with a top-end device that deserves a dose of premium materials. If you're not a fan of Nokia's more playful, plastic-clad models, then the 930's utilitarian look might be right up your alley. It's a fairly inconspicuous marriage of Gorilla Glass 3, aluminum and polycarbonate, with the latter adding a dash of Lumia color to brighten up the proceedings.

The other big feature that Microsoft unveiled with its new Lumias is something called Continuum that lets you plug your phone into a dock and use it as a PC. The new Lumias start with a baseline of 32GB of storage and have support for microSD cards that can add up to 256GB of additional storage. The Lumia phones also feature USB Type-C connectors that allow for faster charging and other key features, just like both the iPhone 6s and Google’s new Nexus devices.
