October 26, 2011 - Two tech giants, Microsoft and Nokia, forged a partnership back in February to create a new line of smartphones. After months of waiting, we finally have a look at the first two Nokia Windows Phones. Nokia debuted the Lumia 800 and Lumia 710 at a press conference in London today.
Leaked images and rumored technical specs have been circulating for a while now, so the reveal wasn't a huge surprise. Originally known as the "Searay" and the "Sabre," both phones have sleek designs. Unfortunately the processor used in both phones is only single-core, but otherwise I'm really excited about these devices. Continue reading to find the technical specs and pictures of both the Lumia 800 and 710.
NEXT: Nokia Lumia 800
Technical Specs:
- 1.4GHz Single-Core Processor
- 3.7" WVGA ClearBlack AMOLED Display
- 8MP Camera - f/2.2 Carl Zeiss Lens
- Windows 7.5 Mango OS
- 512MB RAM
- 16GB Storage
- Unibody Polycarbonate Design
The Lumia 800 is far from industry-leading, but has enough features to sell well if priced for $150 or less (on contract). The phone's compact design, along with one of the best smartphone cameras out there, makes it a winner in my book.
The UK, France, Germany, Spain, Italy, and the Netherlands all are getting the 800 by the end of November, and it should also come to Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, India, and Russia before the end of the year. Unfortunately, the US probably won't see this device until early 2012.
Nokia Lumia 710
Technical Specs:
- 1.4GHz Single-Core Processor
- 3.7" WVGA Display
- 5MP Camera
- Windows 7.5 Mango OS
- 512MB RAM
- 8GB Storage
- MicroSD Slot
- Physical Navigation Buttons
The Lumia 710 looks like a great budget option for people seeking out a new Windows Phone. I'm guessing this one will be priced at around $50 (on contract), and releases for Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, India, and Russia at the same time as the 800. The 710 should come to North America in early-mid 2012.
