After checking out its higher-end big brother, the Lumia 800, we’ve spent a little time with the Lumia 710. There’s no question it feels like a lower-end device, dispensing of the 800’s high-quality matte shell for a few glossy components and a chunkier body overall.

Interestingly, the covers are available both in matte and glossy variants -- your choice. Pictures and video below!
