Lumia 710 by TrustedReviews (Feb, 2012)While anything more than gentle panning will cause a bit of blur, the video, even when displayed on a large screen, still looked pretty decent.
Lumia 710 by TrustedReviews (Feb, 2012)The app works well on the Lumia 710 as you would expect with the LCD screen making it easy to see text.
screen resolution
Lumia 710 by c|net (Jan, 2012)On the front is the 3.7-inch (WVGA, 800x480-pixel resolution) LCD screen, which is smaller and not as sharp as the full-HD or even qHD displays boasted by higher-end Android devices.
Lumia 710 by c|net (Jan, 2012)That said, details in images were soft, with artifacts visible in my still-life test image.

processor
Lumia 710 by GSM Arena (Jan, 2012)All WP7 phones use more or less the same hardware (slight differences in CPU clock speed are possible), so any WP7 will run on any WP7 phone.
camera resolution

Lumia 710 by c|net (Jan, 2012)Frankly, I wasn't expecting much from the phone's 5-megapixel camera, but was pleasantly surprised by the shots I snapped.
Lumia 710 by GSM Arena (Jan, 2012)We appreciate it that the camera roll doesn't downsize pictures and you can enjoy them in full resolution.
Performance Real world tests of Nokia Lumia 710
cpu speed
Lumia 710 by TrustedReviews (Feb, 2012)While navigating the WP7 menus is slick and has obviously been optimised to work with single-core processors, when you begin opening a number of apps and trying to switch between them, you do get a noticeable lag.
Lumia 710 by GSM Arena (Jan, 2012)You might also want to look around for an Acer Allegro - it's only available in some countries and has some disadvantages (1GHz CPU, the LCD screen is 3.6") but if it's available in your area, you should be able to find it at a lower price point.
talk time

510 min
Lumia 710 by c|net (Jan, 2012)Nokia claims the Lumia 710 will offer up to 16 days of standby time and 7 hours of talk time.

Apps
Nokia Lumia 710 Black | Rated 100% by by Alejandro-Matute (Nov, 2012)Windows Phone is FAST and beautiful, plus all the apps by Nokia are awesome!
Nokia Lumia 710 Black | by GSM Arena (Jan, 2012)The interface is very similar to that of the stock music player, but under the album art it lists the next three songs lined up - really helpful if you're using shuffle.
Nokia Lumia 710 Black | Rated 70% by by TrustedReviews (Feb, 2012)Not only is the interface customisable, letting you pin pretty much anything (apps, websites, contacts) to the home page (up to 250 tiles if you must know), but it also brings you notifications within the tiles themselves, letting you know when you’ve got email, missed calls or unread messages.
Screen
Nokia Lumia 710 Black | Rated 70% by by TrustedReviews (Feb, 2012)The camera app itself is pretty decent letting you tweak a good range of settings including white balance, contrast, saturation, sharpness and ISO, as well as letting you touch the screen to focus on something which may not be in the centre of the screen.
Nokia Lumia 710 Black | Rated 100% by by Josh8 (May, 2012)The system is fast and looks nice, specially in red and brightness on MID.
Operating system
Nokia Lumia 710 Black | Rated 100% by by Alberto (Jul, 2012)The OS is perfect for windows users specially professionals and the hardware quality is the one you expect being a nokia user.
Nokia Lumia 710 Black | Rated 100% by by Cory (Apr, 2012)For those wondering, I have had an iOS device and several Android devices, even the Nexus S on ICS.
Nokia Lumia 710 Black | Rated 100% by by Venky (Mar, 2012)It is a lovely operating system and a great price.
Operating System
Nokia Lumia 710 Black | Rated 80% by by Saurabh-Banerjee (Dec, 2012)I have used LG Optimus android phone and now I am loving Lumia.
Nokia Lumia 710 Black | Rated 70% by by TrustedReviews (Feb, 2012)Of course the inclusion of a Microsoft Office app is again an area where WP7 stands apart from iOS and Android and for those looking to edit, create or share documents on the go, this might be a big selling point.
Camera
Nokia Lumia 710 Black | Rated 70% by by TrustedReviews (Feb, 2012)Looking at the camera, the snapper on the back features a modest five megapixel sensor but does at least have a relatively fast f2.4 wide-angle (28mm) lens which helps a little to make the most of what that sensor can offer.
Nokia Lumia 710 Black | by GSM Arena (Jan, 2012)The Nokia Lumia 710 has a 5MP camera (photos have a maximum resolution of 2592x1944) coupled with an LED flash.
Nokia Lumia 710 Black | Rated 70% by by c|net (Jan, 2012)Nokia has built a reputation for engineering quality cameras into its handsets, and the Lumia 710 is no exception.
