Review: Nokia Lumia 800 a challenger, but not a killer Hardware and styling   by Iram

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.

One look and you know that Nokia didn’t bother too much in investing on a new design. The Lumia 800 looks like a N9 clone, albeit with a different soul.

The phone is sleek and looks handsome. My review unit was a matt black. 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 bottom is the cleanly drilled speaker. Yes, only one. The top includes a 3.5mm socket, a flap for the micro USB port and a SIM card tray that accepts only micro SIM card (this means that you may need to ask your mobile service provider for a new SIM as your existing one may be incompatible, or if you are more adventurous you can chop your SIM to convert it into a micro SIM).

The micro USB flap opens when it is pressed from the one side and the SIM card tray can be taken out only when the flap for the micro USB port is open. It might sound a bit troublesome, but given that I don’t swap SIM cards every day, this doesn’t seem to be too much of a hassle. However, the flap that covers the micro USB part looks delicate and chances are you may accidentally break it.

For a phone of its segment, I was disappointed by the absence of a front-facing camera. Also, as I love notification LEDs, not finding one on the Lumia 800 was a minor disappointment.

On the back is an 8 megapixel auto focus camera with Carl Zeiss optics and dual LED flash. Weighing 142g, the phone is slightly heavier than Nokia N9 that weighs 135g. But in terms of thickness, both are equally thick at 12.1mm. However the HTC Radar, which also runs the same OS, is both lighter and thinner than the Nokia Lumia 800.

Something else that was annoying was that when I plugged in a totally drained out Lumia 800, it just didn’t display whether it was charging itself or not. Users shouldn’t be left guessing.

Display

The phone has a curved 3.7-inch AMOLED ClearBlack glass touchscreen display with 800×480 pixels resolution. The ClearBlack display does reduce reflections on the screen and improves visual image quality, especially outdoors. The blacks are fully black and it also becomes difficult to distinguish where the display ends.

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.

Even though the phone’s display is sharp, crisp and detailed, but it does not match the display quality of Samsung’s HD Super AMOLED and Apple’s Retina display. But the lack of reflection is an advantage for the Lumia 800.
