Hardware
Both the Lumia 710 and 800 are powered by 1.4GHz processors, 512MB RAM and run Windows Phone “Mango”. Both handsets also use micro-SIMs, so be prepared to do the SIM swap shuffle.
The main differences between the mid-range Lumia 710 and 800 are related to display type, flash memory, camera and build quality. The Lumia 710 has a 3.7″ LCD screen, 8GB of flash memory, and a 5MP camera with an f/2.8 aperture, while the high-end Lumia 800 has a 3.7″ AMOLED screen, 16GB flash memory, and an 8MP camera with an f/2.2 aperture.
