Nokia Lumiya 710 is a phone running on WinPhone version 7.5 and released at the end of 2011. The phone is equipped with a 3.7 TFT display with protective glass. What are the characteristics of this phone worth highlighting?
Appearance
In many ways, the appearance and design of this phone resembles model 603 - it was the previous model of the Finnish manufacturer, but running on Symbian OS.
The front panel of the gadget is composed of several functional elements. Above is the proximity sensor, speaker, and light module. Below there are three buttons - search, exit to the desktop and the back button. At the back of the phone is a 5 megapixel camera with LED flash and a mesh with holes for the speaker.
As for the god ribs, the following elements are located on them:
- On the right is a volume rocker and a key that launches the camera.
- On the left is a notch that allows you to remove the back cover.
- Above is a 3.5 mm headphone jack, as well as a power button and a microUSB connector.
At the same time, stylish panels with the brightest colors can help to significantly diversify the overall appearance of the phone.
Camera features
The smartphone Nokia Lumiya 710 has a built-in photo module with a quality of 5 megapixels. The phone camera has the following main features:
- Flash LED.
- Autofocus function.
- 3Four times zooming in while taking pictures.
Both the phone itself and its camera will become a real boon for those who like to go on long journeys. And all this thanks to a relatively new camera feature - Geotagging. In this mode, the camera will add the geographic coordinates of each point to be photographed to any photograph taken. All you need to do to add geographic data is turn on GPS. However, it is important to remember that this module drains the phone's battery rather quickly.
But this is where the advantages of using the camera end, since the photos in the end are not of the highest quality. Their quality will be sufficient for uploading to social networks, but this level will not suit professionals.
But in the camera it is allowed to set HD video mode. In this case, the maximum resolution during video recording will be a resolution of 1280 by 720 pixels.
Hardware features
The Nokia Lumiya 710 phone has standard characteristics and features for gadgets with single-core ARM processes, like almost all other gadgets with the same processor.
The ARM processor is based on 45 nm technology of the Qualcomm MSM8255 processor with a frequency of 1.4 GHz and an Adreno 205 graphics module.
To put it in simpler terms, the energy and power of the smartphone will be enough even in excess to carry out such simple functions as sending and receiving messages, making calls, using wireless networks and maintaining adequate operation of the interface. And, of course, there is enough power for Internet surfing.
In the process of performing any of these operations and processes, the phone and the menu will work without any freezes, with good responsiveness to user actions and touches.
For the operation of the graphical interface, which Nokia has always been famous for, the graphics chip has been improved, which in many processes exceeds the performance of its predecessor (Adreno 200). As for the processing power, the graphics chip can be compared with its direct competitor, namely the Mali 400, in terms of this indicator.
Any kind of multimedia content is reproduced quite correctly, and the user can watch videos in HD format without any conversion to display resolution. Also, the performance allows you to play games without worrying about the system slowing down.
The ARM MSM8255 processor is the second generation of the S2 Snapdragon processor family from manufacturer Qualcomm. Thanks to its work and functionality, phones can support DD2 memory, record video in HD video format, provide a 12 megapixel camera and much more.
Technical specifications
The Nokia Lumiya 710 phone is distinguished by the presence of such modules as:
- Wireless Wi-Fi modules (b / n / g).
- Two active cellular standards - 2G / 3G.
- A-GPS and GPS navigation.
- DLNA technology that allows you to combine your smartphone and gadgets related to your home network into one whole. Depending on what the user has, the phone can connect to other phones, as well as laptops, home appliances and computers. And thanks to some other functions, the phone can broadcast and receive video, as well as pictures and music, all in real time.
- Bluetooth version 2, which supports 5x or more power saving technology. This function is also referred to as the EDR function.
As for the memory of the device, Nokia Lumia 710 has 512 MB of RAM and 8 GB of internal memory. Also, in addition, the user can add another 25 gigabytes to this internal memory. All you need to do is to reserve this same amount of cloud storage from Microsoft. Such a generous gift from the developers will allow you not to clog the internal and external memory of the phone with files once again - they will all be in the cloud and will be available at any time, provided the phone is connected to the Internet.
The battery capacity was also not very surprising. In this case, it is equal to 1300 mAh. This is not much, but taking into account the small screen and just one process, this capacity is enough for a new phone for 16 days of standby, 7 hours of talks or 38 hours of watching videos. Of course, if the wireless modules are enabled on the phone, they will reduce the phone's operating time by 2-3 times.
Phone reviews and price
Buyers and owners of the phone assess the Nokia Lumiya 710 model ambiguously. Someone notes such positive qualities of the gadget as durability, general "indestructibility" of the phone, ergonomics of its casing and convenient key arrangement. Also, users note the convenience of the phone when solving everyday tasks, the overall build quality and the ability to choose different body colors. The pluses also include the presence of not touch-sensitive, but physical buttons, the responsiveness of the operating system and good levels of contrast and brightness.
But some disadvantages were also highlighted. There are not many of them in this model, but there are also some disadvantages that seriously complicate the use of the phone. For example, among the most obvious disadvantages are the following:
- Incorrect and unfinished phone compatibility with third-party programs.
- Marked display.
- Poor compatibility between Nokia Lumiya 710 and PC.
- Poor microphone and speaker quality.
- Still not a very strong battery.
- Periodic self-restarts.
- Periodic network loss by the 3D module.
- Incomprehensible settings of the Bluetooth module.
- Lack of external memory card.
Another big drawback is the need to install the Zune PC software, without which it will be difficult for even experienced users to download additional music, software and games.
The display and camera were rated average - if the weather is good, then both the picture and the quality of the photo / recording will be good. In cloudy weather, pictures and videos will lack clarity. You may not shoot at all at night. And because of the soiling of the display, it's best to wear a microfiber cloth with your phone. In general, the hardware, quality and functionality are rated well, while the software is mediocre.
The cost of the model depends on the region and by whom the phone is being sold. The average price of a new gadget is $ 140-270, and a used model can be purchased for $ 45.
