Microsoft Launches New Nokia Lumia 930



Microsoft showed off the new Nokia Lumia 930 at Microsoft's Build developer conference in San Francisco Wednesday. The new handset will have a 5-inch display, a 20MP PureView camera and support wireless charging.

Nokia's latest flagship device will feature a 2.2 GHz Snapdragon 800 processor and will ship with the new Windows Phone 8.1 update that includes Microsoft's new personal assistant Cortana. The news comes just hours after images of the new Nokia Lumia 930 were leaked on Twitter by evleaks.

"We have built the Lumia 930 for absolute speed and performance," said Microsoft's Stephen Elop, who showed off the handset on stage at Build.

The handset will go on sale globally, beginning in Europe, this June and will sell for about $599, before subsidies.

Microsoft also showed off two new lower cost Lumia handsets— the Lumia 630 and 635. The Nokia Lumia 630 will come in single and dual SIM varieties and be the lowest cost Windows 8.1 device.

T-Mobile and Metro PCS will be the first carriers to sell the Lumia 635 in the U.S., which will be the first new device to ship with Windows Phone 8.1 in the U.S.
