After recently launching its Asha range of feature phones in South Africa, Nokia expands its Windows Phone Mango-powered Lumia range locally. The Finnish firm has made its Nokia Lumia 710 available to local smartphone buyers, looking to get their smartphone fix courtesy of Windows Phone OS. This smartphone is available from Vodacom and Cell C outlets for a recommended retail price of R3999.

Just like its bigger brother in the Lumia range, the beautiful Nokia Lumia 800, the company’s Lumia 710 (119 x 62.4 x 12.5 mm, 125.5 g) is powered by a speedy 1.4 GHz single-core Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU.

The latest Lumia also boasts the same amount of RAM (512 MB) as found on the range topping Lumia 800 as well as the responsive 3.7" (480 x 800 pixel resolution, 252 ppi pixel density) ClearBlack TFT capacitive touchscreen, which is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass.
