Nokia Lumia 800 teardown
Here’s what the innards of the Nokia Lumia 800 looks like as done by TechRepublic. They have a video embedded but I don’t know how to get the embed code (and can’t be bothered to look at the page source).
I’m not sure what they’re reiterating about the “single piece metal casing”. What metal casing? I’m not sure there’s any point comparing battery capacities of phones of different screen sizes. Capacity doesn’t mean much. e.g. E71 on 1500mAh can last pretty much forever.
They note the hardware as being:
- 1.4 GHz single-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S2 (MSM8255T) processor (with Adreno 205 GPU)
- Elpida B4064B2PD-6D-F 2Gb LP DDR2 DRAM (512 MB)
- 16GB Hynix NAND flash chip (H26M52002CKR)
- 3.7″ AMOLED display (800 x 480)
- 8 MP rear-facing camera
- 3.8V, 1,450 mAh Li-Ion battery
- Atmel mXT224 touchscreen controller (MXT-N0K1 CCU-1R6 1G4456B)
- Broadcom BCM4329 Low-Power 802.11n with Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR and FM (BCM4329EKUBG)
- Qualcomm PM8058 power management IC
- Qualcomm QTR8200 RF Transceiver
- TriQuint TQM7M5013 Quad-Band GSM / GPRS / EDGE-Linear Power Amplifier Module
- AAC Technologies ELV1411A X Direction Linear Vibrator (vibrator motor)

“I’m not sure there’s any point comparing battery capacities of phones of different screen sizes.”
What do you mean by this? When you put in larger battery, you have to put also larger screen, but better batteries have more capacity without being larger. So it’s good to know the actual capacity.
What Jay means is that the longevity of use for your smartphone may vary regardless of your battery capacity and it is highly dependent on the OS that your device runs/optimizations. Symbian is very battery efficient and can last longer with the same or less mAH battery in most cases, thus making battery comparisons not as cut and dry and a victory by numbers alone.
Screen size, processor OS and other hardware components in addition to cellular /wi-fi power draw affect the battery longevity.
With that in mind, bigger batter isn’t always better and a smaller battery isn’t always worse.
My N8 will outlast my 710 any day. I’m highly frustrated by the T-Mobile 710s battery life. I used my N8 to record audio for hours and about 20 minutes of HD video and it was still near a full charge! Yet when I unplug my 710 after charging all night, do some browsing via cellular connection, I have to charge it again before leaving home after his 15 minutes of web browsing because it no longer displays a full battery status.
Maybe I have a faulty battery….maybe T-Mobile needs to release the firmware updates that MS and Nokia have released. Anyway…..I get shorter battery life with a bigger battery.
I hope I helped and didn’t mix up what Jay was trying to say.
From what I understand it is dependant on OS and hardware components.
Nokia have never used the OS before, it is totally new to them, they are starting from zero.
Nokia haven’t used Qualcomm chips for a long time/ever?
Symbian was designed for low power use and then power optimised continuously for the last 10 years. The hardware components and Symbian were power optimised together.
Definately no NFC chip hidden in there for future use then!
Here is the video link btw jay http://i.bnet.com/video/NokiaLumia800_full_hi_ST.m4v
Funny how he pulled stuff out of his arse, such as the body being metal and hence the phone being heavier than the Galaxy Nexus, which is also false.
Nothing from Samsung. Good!
