The phone includes an enhanced Nokia Drive package with voice-guided turn-by-turn navigation, and Nokia Transit, which allows navigation through local public transportation. Nokia City Lens offers a hybrid mapping/photography feature that overlays various points of interest in an image, such as businesses.[3] Additional photography-related features are Nokia Cinemagraph, which is "a lens that creates animated GIFs"; panorama settings, and Group Shot. The phone includes a dedicated camera button that allows activating the camera from a sleeping or even locked device.[5] The October 8 announcement included Nokia Music, which can also be used offline.[3]

The Lumia 810 was discontinued in stores in April 2013. As of April 4, 2014, the day Microsoft introduced its Windows Phone 8.1 OS update, T-Mobile US stated that "no updates" for the 810 will be made available.[1] In February 2015, T-Mobile confirmed that Windows Phone 8.1 would not come to devices other than the Lumia 521 and Lumia 925.[6]

Windows Phone 8.1 was not released for the phone, making the Lumia 810 the only Nokia Windows phone to not be updated to Windows Phone 8.1. However, it's possible to install Windows Phone 8.1 on the Lumia 810 through Microsoft's Preview for Developers app.
