Following the announcement of its Symbian-powered 808 PureView smartphone with its phenomenal 41 MP sensor, Nokia turns its attentions back to its Windows Phone OS-running Lumia range, by revealing the Lumia 900 and Lumia 610.

Nokia Lumia 900

The Finnish company’s Lumia 900 has a similar design to that of the Lumia 800 (116.5 x 61.2 x 12.1 mm, 142 g), but it is a bit bigger measuring in at 127.8 x 68.5 x 11.5 mm and weighing 160 g. One reason for its larger frame is the fact that it sports a 4.3" WVGA (480 x 800) AMOLED capacitive ClearBlack touchscreen, compared to the 800’s 3.7" WVGA display.

This is Nokia’s first LTE (4G) enabled handset that employs HSDPA+ connectivity to deliver speeds of up to 42 Mbps. It also sports 512 MB RAM, 16 GB internal storage, an 8 MP auto-focus with Carl Zeiss optics that is capable of recording HD-Ready (720p) videos, as well as a 1.3 MP front-facing snapper for video calls. Powering the 900 is a 1.4 GHz single-core Qualcomm Snapdragon application processor, with the mobile also incorporating a larger 1830 mAh battery compared to the Lumia 800’s 1450 mAh battery.

 

Nokia Lumia 610

Like the new Lumia 900, the Lumia 610 (19.24 x 62.18 x 11.95 mm, 131.5 g) also operates on Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango). This new entry into the Lumia range features a 3.7" WVGA (480 x 800) TFT capacitive touch LCD display, 256 MB RAM, Wi-Fi 802.11 n, Bluetooth version 2.1 plus EDR, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, GPS and 8 GB internal storage.

The 610 is powered by a 800 MHz single-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S1 mobile processor and sports HSDPA connectivity offering speeds up to 7.2 Mbps. Nokia equipped the Lumia 610 with a 5 MP auto-focus camera with LED flash that is capable of recording VGA (640 x 460) videos at a smooth 30 fps (frames per seconds).   

 

Nokia stated that both these smartphones will start to ship in Q2 of 2012. No local release info is available yet.
