I received this device about a week ago and used it on a daily basis. It’s a big switch from my old smartphone; the Nokia 5230 Nuron.
Even though the Lumia 810 features a large display, it only weighs about 145 grams. This is a good thing – believe it or not. It gives you the feeling that you have a well-built device in your hand, pocket, etc. But, it’s about 10.9 millimeters thick. Which could be too thick for many consumers. Otherwise, the Lumia 810 is a solid, well-built smartphone.
A well-built smartphone needs a beautiful display. The Lumia 810 brings a beautiful 4.3-inch WVGA display with a resolution of 800 by 480 pixels. May not be better than the iPhone 5 or some Nexus devices. But, the display packs a lot more features that those devices don’t. Such as, Brightness Control, High-Brightness Mode, RGB Stripe, Color Boosting, Corning Gorilla Glass 2, and an Ambient Light Sensor.
Even though the Lumia 810 brings a large 4.3-inch display, it still features a touch-based Start, Back, and Search Key. The Power, Volume, and Camera keys are all physical.
There’s no Dual Sim availability inside the Lumia 810 since it only features a SIM Card Slot and Micro-USB Slot. Listen to music by yourself with the 3.5mm audio connector, charge and sync your device with the Micro-USB connector, and expand your features with the built-in Bluetooth 3.0 Connectivity. As well as Wi-Fi, NFC, and Wireless Connectivity.
To power a large display with these many features it will need the 1800 mAh removable battery. Allowing you to switch batteries when one of them dies. That shouldn’t be a problem since it features a total of 400 standby hours, 10.3 talk hours on 2G and 10.2 talk hours on 3G. Plus, 54 hours of music playback. Even charge your device without wires with the accessory cover.
Even though it don’t have the biggest battery. It’s still available to power the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Dual-Core 1.5Ghz processor. I find that it performs very well with high-end gaming and multitasking.
It’s funny that the Lumia 810 is so thick but don’t feature a lot of storage. It features 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage, but also a MicroSD Card Slot up to 64GBs. Plus, 7GB of Online Cloud Storage. I believe that they could do a lot better with storage.
More storage would be nice in the long run. Especially, since the Lumia 810 features an 8 megapixel rear facing camera with auto focus technology and 4x zoom. While, the rear-facing camera is standard with a resolution of 1280 by 960 pixels.
