The Lumia 610 took Nokia’s smartphone range to a more competitive price point. It was the first Nokia phone to use the Tango release of Windows Phone 7.5. This allowed a lower specification for the memory and processor on the device. It featured an 800 MHz processor.
It had a 3.7-inch 800 x 480-pixel screen, 8GB of storage, a five-megapixel camera and a 1300 mAh battery. At the launch, Nokia indicated it would have a retail price of approximately €189.
It was initially available in four colours: black, cyan, magenta and white.
