by GSM Arena (Jun, 2012)The Nokia Lumia 610 measures are almost identical to those of the Lumia 710 at 119 x 62 x 12 mm and its 133 g weight strikes a good balance between carrying comfort and nice solid feel.

0.8 GHz
Windows Phone 7.5 Mango 3.5G
Rated 61% by by The Verge (Jun, 2012)The result is a great looking handset that weighs in at just 0.29 pounds, a noticeable difference from the Lumia 800.
screen size
3.7"
3.7"
Lumia 710 by CarrieScreen Size: The 3.7 screen size is good, but I am spoiled by the DVP's larger screen size.
Lumia 610 by The Verge (Jun, 2012)While there’s a general trend in the smartphone industry to push way above the 4-inch screen size, Nokia’s 3.7-inch choice here makes sense for a variety of reasons.
screen resolution
Lumia 610 by GSM Arena (Jun, 2012)Resolved detail just isn't up to 5MP standards, colors look washed out and the camera obviously struggles in low-lit scenes.
memory
| 0 GB | 0.5 GB | 0.5 GB |
processor
Lumia 710 by Chris-D-Meadows--Chris-M (Nov, 2012)I know its a single core processor, but it is fast.
Lumia 610 by GSM Arena (Jun, 2012)The 1GHz CPU and 512MB RAM threshold has been lowered and the Lumia 610 does reasonably well with an 800MHz processor and 256MB of RAM.
camera resolution
| 0 MP | 5 MP | 5 MP |
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 610 by The Verge (Jun, 2012)Microsoft allows device manufacturers to extend its camera software with addons, and it’s one of the hardware aspects that others are using to differentiate (like the Titan II’s 16-megapixel shooter).
Performance Real world tests of Nokia Lumia 710 vs Nokia Lumia 610
cpu speed
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.
Lumia 610 by The Verge (Jun, 2012)I was genuinely surprised to see that Windows Phone continued to launch apps and switch between the various hubs just as fast as other devices equipped with double the RAM and processor speed.
talk time
414 min
570 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.
Lumia 610 by The Verge (Jun, 2012)Nokia claims you'll get 9.5 hours of 3G talk time out of the Lumia 610 as well as a whopping 720 hours of 3G standby time.

type
Nokia Lumia 610 | Rated 61% by by The Verge (Jun, 2012)If you’re on a tight budget then the Lumia 610 is a better option than most other feature phones, but if you can find a Lumia 710 at a good price then this will likely serve you better and help avoid some of the restrictions of a 256MB of RAM Windows Phone.
Nokia Lumia 610 | Rated 61% by by The Verge (Jun, 2012)The usual ISO, white balance, and effects settings are present, but there’s no face tracking or burst mode options like other Windows Phone handsets from HTC and others.
design
Nokia Lumia 610 | Rated 61% by by The Verge (Jun, 2012)Nokia has rounded off the corners of its Lumia 610 to present a design that's more akin to its Lumia 710 than the square edges of the Lumia 800 and 900.
