Nokia’s first new Windows Phone smartphone, the Nokia Lumia 800 will go on sale in Europe later this month. The other Windows Phone handset that Nokia announced was the Lumia 710.
When it was announced, Nokia said it would be available in early 2012. Now, according to a recent report, it could be headed to T-Mobile in the US sometime in January. This would align with what Nokia has previously stated about launching their Windows Phone devices in the US.
Specifications and Features of the Nokia Lumia 710
The Lumia 710 features a 3.7-inch WVGA touchscreen display and is powered by Windows Phone 7.5 Mango. Processing is provided by a single-core 1.4GHz processor, and there is 512MB of RAM and 8GB of built-in storage. This combination ensures that the device runs smoothly for everyday tasks and provides a decent user experience for a mid-range smartphone.
Other specifications on the Nokia Lumia 710 include a 1,300 mAh battery, which should provide enough power for a full day of moderate use. The device also comes with a 5-megapixel camera with an LED flash, capable of recording HD video in 720p. Connectivity options include Bluetooth 2.1, A-GPS, 802.11 b/g/n WiFi, and a micro USB port. These features make the Lumia 710 a well-rounded device suitable for various users.
Comparing the Lumia 710 and Lumia 800
While the Lumia 710 is an impressive device, the Lumia 800 offers some additional features that may appeal to users looking for a more premium experience. The Lumia 800 comes with a slightly larger 3.7-inch AMOLED display, which provides more vibrant colors and better contrast compared to the LCD screen on the Lumia 710. Additionally, the Lumia 800 is equipped with an 8-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, which can record HD video in 1080p, offering superior image and video quality.
The Lumia 800 also features a more powerful 1,450 mAh battery, providing longer battery life compared to the Lumia 710. Furthermore, the Lumia 800 has a sleek unibody design made from polycarbonate, giving it a more premium feel and better durability.
When the Nokia Lumia 710 was announced, Nokia said it would retail for 270 Euros before taxes. There are no details on US pricing yet, but it is expected to be competitively priced to attract budget-conscious consumers.
