High-end 930, entry-level 630 and 635 arriving this summer



From ArsTechnica:

Elop first showed off the new global “flagship” device for Windows Phone 8.1, the Lumia 930. With a 5-inch screen, a 20-megapixel camera, and a 2.2 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, the Lumia 950 is essentially the same as the Lumia Icon—except for the fact that it will ship with a back plate that comes in a variety of bright colors, including green and orange. The Lumia 930 also includes four built-in high-performance microphones, allowing for the capture of integrated Dolby Surround Sound or directional stereo audio as part of HD video capture. The phone will start at $599 and be available through more than 100 telecom operators starting in June, though sadly not in the US. Since it’s the same hardware that Verizon currently sells as the Icon, Verizon will remain an exclusive.

Elop also introduced the 630 and 635, two new entry-level phones. The 630 comes in two versions for GSM 3G networks and is primarily targeted at the international market—a $159 single-SIM phone and a $169 dual-SIM variant which will allow users to use two numbers on the same phone. The Lumia 635 will be a 4G LTE phone that will be sold worldwide. It arrives in the US in July and is priced at $189 before carrier subsidies and taxes.
