Nokia Lumia 730: Battery and Early Verdict

Battery life on the Lumia 730 is rated at 2,200mAh, same as the Lumia 830, though it's removable. The battery should last a day with moderate usage, although we're yet to test the device fully.

The Nokia Lumia 730 is a decent looking smartphone that offers average specs. Microsoft has improved its Windows Phone 8.1 mobile OS but the ecoystem still needs attention. We think the Nokia Lumia 730 can compete against with the Android phone in the same class.
