Nokia Lumia 930
Design
As Microsoft continues to develop their smartphones to get better, the Nokia Lumia 930 is quite a good phone to use as your daily driver. The Lumia 930 is a holds up a good build quality with a aluminum rim around the sides and a plastic back cover. On the right hand side of the Lumia is where all the physical buttons are located. On top is the 3.5mm jack for your earphones, on the bottom is where you'll find the charging port and around the back is the speaker, camera and dual led flash, oh, and there's a front facing camera as well, and Microsoft capacitive buttons; it weighs in at 167g (5.89oz) with a dimension of 137x71x9.8mm, 94.7cc (5.39x2.80xo39in) to me, it's not too chunky and not very slim.
Display
For the screen, it is a AMOLED capacitive 1080x1920 pixels, 5.0" touchscreen with a 441 ppi pixel density. The screen is also gorilla 3, but it is a bit reflective and the screen is sloped along the sides. As it goes to viewing angles, tilting the phone gives it an off tint so the colors won't look that accurate.
Camera
At the back is where you'll find the 20MP (4992x3744 pixels) camera with dual LED flash. It takes good detailed photos and even in low light, it produces very little noise so your pictures will come out decent. When shooting a video it shoots 1080p@30fps, it doesn't shoot 4k videos like some of the flagship smartphones but it can take a good video; front facing camera is 1.2MP, 720p so you can video chat or take some selfies, but I would suggest if you want a better quality photo use the rear camera.
Software
For the software, it is running on the latest version of windows Microsoft 8.1 which is good, you get the drop down notification bar to quickly access your notifications, change the size of the tiles and even change the background image and you can easily switch through Since phones are now having voice controlled, windows gives you a personal assistant called cortana, it's like Siri and Google Now, so you can set a schedule, set alarm, send messages, e-mails, ask questions and so on...
Battery life and performance
Powering it is a Li-ion 2420 mAh battery and if your a light user, you shouldn't worry about charging it very often. Running under the hood of the Lumia 930 is a Qualcomm MSM8974 Snapdragon 800 and Quad-core 2.2GHz krait 400 with Andreno 330, internal storage is 32 GB, 2GB of RAM (no expandable memory). Loading web pages are not slow, it performes good, some apps can be sluggish but mostly it's on third party apps. Put all of that aside, phone is a really good phone and it can get the job done.
