The Nokia Lumia 800 shares its exterior styling and is a first Windows Phone based Smartphone. Nokia Lumia 800 has include, 16M colors in 480 x 800 pixels display screen with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPRS or 3G technologies are good enough to connect to any social media website or device to share or exchange the data.

Hardware and Styling :

The phone comes packed in a small gift like box which includes the standard contents - a handset, charger, USB cable, an earphone, and paper manuals. The phone is sleek and looks handsome. The left side is completely expanse, while the right side is loaded and includes lock/power on and off button, volume rocker and a capture button. On the back is an 8 megapixel auto focus camera with Carl Zeiss optics and dual LED flash. Weighing 142g.



Display :

The phone has a curved 3.7-inch AMOLED ClearBlack glass touchscreen display with 800x480 pixels resolution. And the curved screen gives a pleasant touch experience. Swiping left to right is actually a breeze on the curved screen. The phone also has a Gorilla glass front that helps protect the display from scratches, drops, and bumps, thereby giving a sense of security. Though the phone has borrowed its looks from Nokia N9, but the screen size varies. A 3.9-inch panel on the Nokia N9 has been reduced to 3.7-inch on the Lumia 800 to accommodate Windows Phone keys.



Operating system :

The phone offers an engaging and intuitive user interface and the touch is quite responsive. The interface is quite appealing, yet simple. With the Nokia Lumia 800, the company brings some specific apps like Nokia Drive and Nokia Maps on the device. The Nokia Drive app converts your handset into a satellite navigation system and provides navigation services including voice assisted turn-by-turn instructions.



Camera :

The phone is engineered with an 8 megapixel camera with f/2.2 Carl Zeiss Tessar lens, autofocus, dual-LED flash and 3x digital zoom. Undoubtedly, the Lumia 800's camera produces excellent and sharp images. A user can long press the side-mounted camera button to get into the camera app. As the user taps anywhere on the screen, the camera gets ready to focus and auto-expose the image based on the information in a particular scene. It offers various options to customise images including scenes (backlight, beach, candlelight, and so on), exposure value, effects (normal, black and white, negative and sepia), flicker reduction and more.

In video mode, the camera performes quite well. It seems that an 8 megapixel camera is becoming a standard for higher-end phones. We compared the results from a Samsung Galaxy Note, Apple iPhone 4S with that of the Nokia Lumia 800 and found that the Lumia 800's camera is far from the best in town.



Miscellaneous :

Powered by a 1.4 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and 512 MB RAM, the phone is fast and multitasking a breeze.
The phone has a 1450 mAh battery that offers a fair battery backup. With normal use, the phone's battery can survive more than a day. But heavy usage will force you to charge it more often. Keeping in tune with Nokia has stood for over the years, the phone delivers good reception and call quality. The built-in speaker is quite audible but not top-notch in noisy areas. The phone offers 16GB of memory and there is no slot for memory card.



Verdict :

After long, Nokia has shown a flicker of competitiveness and it is also the best Windows Phone device in the market now.



The price of this phone is Rs 29,999.
