way better looking than i had expected.
I know right. A bit darker cyan with the darker buttons makes for a very sleek phone. Plus I like the back compared to the 820. Bravo Nokia.
this phone will break easily on drop… ALL GLASS FRONT!!! not good..
and where are the LANYARD HOLES?!?!
Based on Nokia’s Website, this display is covered with Corning Gorilla Glass. It will not break.
What is he talking about ? Its as thick as the 920 ..

It is 0.2 mm thicker(width of an average hair) than the 920, which is only half a millimeter thicker than the 8X.
These might be thicker than that a little though, since they have the wireless charging covers that are thicker and add the recess around the camera.
Here is a pic of the wireless charging plates:

You can also see the non-charging covers in that gallery.
I’m not sure how the hell the HTC Lumia 8X has got the reputation for being an ultra thin phone. It’s baffling.
Apparently this is with the thicker wireless charging shell? The recessed camera would sugges that.
Finally found pics of the 810 wireless charging backplates:

Yes they can be swapped like on the 820, they are not some additional slip-on covers.
Oops, sorry. Those are cleary 820 covers.
Oops again, they are indeed 810 covers. They just include their own Carl Zeiss badge. I was confused about that.
So we can put it to rest, two types of covers for the 810. They are swappable like 820. The wireless charging version is thicker and has the recessed camera. The non-charging back cover is thinner and without recessed camera.
They are clearly not a slip-on cover.
I would actually welcome a recessed camera, better protected, less flare.
I wonder if we can get confirmation on 2 different covers for the 810. I also wonder why they would showcase the phone for the first time with the thick covers. I hope the 810 ships with standard non charging covers. I hope you are right about 2 different covers. This pics would indicate so but I won’t feel comfortable unless I see some confirmation. I will be purchasing the 810 but would prefer the thinner cover.
Oh good, it has dual LED flash!
It looks so thick because it has one of the Wireless charging covers snapped on. See hiw sunken in the ceramic camera strip and flash are?
It’ll sell very well.
that thig looks huge, thicker than the 808
It isn’t 808 thick though. 808 is 13.9 mm (bump is 17.95 mm), the Lumia 810 is said to be 10.9 mm or 11.2 mm (different sources with different numbers), so around 3 mm thinner or a whopping 7 mm thinner on the bump, with the wireless charging cover.
I’m not sure if the 810 is available with normal covers without wireless charging, those are probably less thick than with wireless charging.
Yes, there is also a thinner non-wireless charging version available of the covers:

See how the camera is not recessed.
wow i thought it may turn out that the 810 is thinner but it sure does look huge in the video
With the black, coil-less cover it looks more reasonable:

Btw, interesting tweets these:

Interesting if there’s something to it, but that Twitter account (especially looking at the website it promotes, the whois, etc) sets off every single phishing scam alert there is.
There’s no actual real connection to Nokia whatsoever?
haha, a thinner 920 would be cool. it would shut up the haters. but i guess it won’t come with pureview ois
I was looking through T-Mobile’s selection of phones. I think this will sell very well because it’ll be the best looking one of the bunch!
I found this quote:
“Might want to check the spec sheets before publishing this kind of post— compared to the 820, the 810 has:
-Bigger battery (1800 mAh v. 1650), hence the thickness
-HD wide-angle front-facing camera (vs. VGA)
-Gorilla glass
-Weighs 15g less
Clearly not just an aesthetic tweak. Also Nokia lists the 810’s thickness as 10.9mm, not 11.2.”
Name misleading.
Should be 822. (i.e larger number due to greater specs)
I guess the lack of LTE justifies the 810? (Not that it’s needed on T-Mobile USA…)
Bigger battery = thicker phone? Well then explain why the Samsung Ativ s is thinner than all the Nokia phones and it has a much better battery?
It’s relative. If device A is X mm with battery of size Y, then the same device A with a battery Z > Y will be, all else being equal, > X mm.
What device B does has nothing to do with it. If the S-Vita would come with a larger battery tomorrow, *all else being equal* it would also be thicker *than itself*.
But don’t let that get in way of another rant.
That is because it has a bigger screen as well.keeping constant volume if you increase the area you can reduce the thickness. That was one of the reasons that Android oems keep increasing the size of the screen. They can put a larger battery without increasing the thickness too much. But battery consumption increases with increasing size so the battery performance only increases in cases where screen is not being used-calling and standby. Noobs!
Well, that’s fine. This 810 is Nokia’s top contender on T-Mobile. When the SGS was released in the USA As the Mezmorise, Vibrant and Captivate, theu had diffetent NAND storage, different batteries, flash vs. no flash, etc. It does have a different model number after all.
I really like this phone. I’m hoping there will be a slightly lighter 910 that I can get.
the back looks cute
Wonder why they are not allowed to turn it on ummm
does the final version of windows has any Nokia customisation they dont wont any1 to see?
Its just so wearied
well, people have been speculating that wp8 has certain part of the OS locked down, especially those that are turned on and handled by the media. So it could be a case of these 810 have the full version of the wp8 running.
Or you know, it could be some other reason.
