Five terminals that have now finished being renewed for Windows Phone 8.1 under the command of Microsoft. From the Lumia 530 to the Lumia 930, Redmond tries to cover all levels with a family of devices that we review here.

Different Lumia for different users
These five are the smartphones with which Microsoft has configured the Lumia range of which it is now the owner. Each of them trying to cover different sectors and the needs of different users. That's why the choice will depend a lot on personal preference and how far you want to go in Windows Phone 8.1.
If what we want is a smartphone to start the Nokia Lumia 530 with its price of 99 euros is the least risky option. If we look for a little more screen and processor, the Nokia Lumia 630 (or 635) maintains an adjusted price with those 139 euros. If, on the contrary, we want to make sure that we can execute everything and we are very interested in the front camera, the Nokia Lumia 730 (or the 735) will cost us about 240 euros . If the main camera is more important and we prefer a great design, the Nokia Lumia 830 could be ours for around 400 euros. And if we have no limits and are looking for the best, the Nokia Lumia 930 is undoubtedly the right choice.
