Microsoft is rumored to release a few mid-range smartphones this year, starting with the Lumia 830, also codenamed Tesla, in Berlin on September 4th and potentially followed by the release of Lumia 730, codenamed Superman (aka the “selfie” phone) at the same event.
Engadget - When Nokia released the Lumia Icon earlier this year, it took its polycarbonate design philosophy and went a bit metal -- aluminum, specifically. The result was a premium phone with a fancy body to match. But the Icon's exclusivity on Verizon limited its appeal, and its sibling, the Lumia 930, has yet to make it to US shores. Into that void comes the Lumia 830, from the freshly minted Microsoft Mobile.
This is the best new camera phone of 2014, excluding Lumia 1020 and 1520 which were built in 2013 and the Lumia 930/Icon from 2014 which still are the best camera phones period.
This also opens the question about the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 plus camera or the Sony Xperia Z3 camera vs the Lumia 830.

The Nokia Youtube channel just posted a series of new Microsoft promo videos to show off their newly announced phones and the HD-10 screen sharing accessory.
