Nokia Lumia 800 review
December 26, 2011
The Nokia Lumia 800 marked the beginning of the Windows Phone period for Nokia. The device is powered by a 1.4GHz processor and boasts a 3.7" ClearBlack AMOLED display, distinguishing it as the Windows Phone for more “technical” users.
Main features of the Nokia Lumia 800
- AMOLED capacitive touchscreen, 16M colors
- 480 x 800 pixels, 3.7" screen
- 16GB storage, 512MB RAM
- Wi-fi 802.11 b/g/n
- 8MP, 3264x2448 pixels, Carl Zeiss optics, autofocus, dual LED flash
- Microsoft Windows Phone 7,5 Mango
- 1,4 GHZ Scorpion CPU
Nokia Lumia 800 user interface:
Despite rumours surrounding Nokia’s ability to modify the standard interface of Windows Phone, the Nokia Lumia 800 uses the untouched standard version of the operating system. A push-to-unlock button brings up the lock screen revealing the time, date and notifications such as missed calls. It is a clean and user friendly interface that shows all important and unread notifications without hassles.
Verdict:
In terms of software, the Nokia Lumia 800 is matched by all other Windows Phone Mango devices. But the Nokia Lumia 800 has what many phones lack – an 8 Megapixel camera with LED flash. This gives it a huge advantage over other Nokia Windows powered phones as the camera has become the benchmark hardware component to consider when buying a new phone. The Nokia Lumia 800 is a phone and a digital camera in one, which makes it a definite keeper.
