Nokia unveils first Windows Phone 8.1 Lumia phones
Microsoft, however, was not done with just the Windows Phone 8.1 announcement, and just as we thought the event was about to wrap up, Nokia chief executive (and future VP of Microsoft devices) Stephen Elop appeared on stage with two brand new Lumias in its pockets.
The Nokia Lumia 930, a 5-inch 1080p device with an edgy design and a 20-megapixel PureView camera was the first to get unveiled, followed by the affordable, 4.5-inch Lumia 630 with a Snapdragon 400 chip (the exact same chip powering the Moto G, by the way!). Nokia also presented the Lumia 635, an identical device to the Lumia 630, except for one new feature - 4G connectivity.
