Nokia Lumia 710: Build
The Nokia Lumia 800 has some of the best build quality we’ve ever seen in a smartphone, but sadly the Nokia Lumia 710 doesn’t quite match up to its pricier big brother.
While the Gorilla Glass-covered front feels reassuringly solid, the removeable back cover (you can swap these rear plates to customise the colour of the phone) doesn’t exude quite the same level of sturdiness. Still, by cheaper smartphone standards it’s more than acceptable.
Nokia Lumia 710: Features
ows Phone 7 is a little lacking in the app store department due to its newcomer status, but that’s rapidly changing: there are expected to be 100,000 apps in the Marketplace by the time Windows 8 Phone arrives in the not-too-distant future.
Nokia Lumia 710: Battery
Best smartphones
The battery life isn’t exceptional but neither is it particularly stingy. Yes, you’ll have to charge the phone at the end of most days to avoid running out of juice (especially if you spend a lot of time messing around with it) but that’s just the way it is with powerful smartphones.
Don’t view the Nokia Lumia 710 as the poor man’s Lumia 800. This is a cracking budget smartphone in its own right: it feels more reliable and much faster than the average budget Android phone, and the tile-based Windows Phone 7 user interface is a joy to poke around.
Yes, the lack of available apps compared with rival operating systems could prove a deal breaker for the software-obsessed, but on the hardware and features front Nokia has done a fantastic job here. One of the finest affordable smartphones we’ve seen in recent times.
Speedy, lightweight and dependably robust, the Nokia Lumia 710 is a classy entry point into Windows Phone 7, and a top budget phone.
