Nokia Lumia 830 officially headed to Canada

Nokia / Microsoft today announced that the Lumia 830 will be officially available in Canada soon - possibly at about the same time with the handset’s release in the US (where AT&T may start selling it later this month).

It’s not clear what Canadian carriers will be offering the Lumia 830. Also, the smartphone’s price for Canada hasn’t been revealed, but it shouldn’t be higher than $400 anyway.

Introduced by Microsoft as an affordable flagship, the Lumia 830 might be one of the world’s last Nokia-branded smartphones. The handset’s highlight feature is its 10 MP PureView rear camera with Optical Image Stabilization and LED Flash. That aside, you get a 5-inch IPS display with 720 x 1280 pixels, LTE connectivity, a 0.9 MP front-facing camera, quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor, 1 GB of RAM, 16 GB of expandable internal memory, and a 2200 mAh battery. Windows Phone 8.1 Denim (with Cortana and all the rest of its features) is on board.
