Nokia Lumia 720 and Lumia 520 Launched in the Philippines, Pricing Revealed

Nokia just launched two new Lumia phones, the Nokia Lumia 720 and the Nokia Lumia 520.  These two new smartphones feature Windows 8 OS and are targeted at users who are otherwise unable to afford the higher end Lumia 920 and Lumia 820 handsets.

The Lumia 720 and 520 share the design features of the more expensive siblings, including the bright color choices and the unibody casing.

Nokia Lumia 720

The Nokia Lumia 720 has a 4.3-inch and 800 x 480 ClearBlack display, the perfect size in my opinion.  Big phones with 5-inch displays or bigger are great for browsing and viewing videos but at the end of the day, they are bulky for the typical Filipino user.   The Lumia 720 has a polycarbonate body just like the bigger and badder Lumia 920 but it is slimmer and lighter.   The Lumia 720 is only 9mm thick and is a lightweight at only 128 grams.  In terms of performance, you should get decent speed since the Nokia Lumia 720 packs a dual-core 1GHz Snapdragon CPU, not revolutionary by any standards but considering the lightweight nature of Windows 8, it’s fast enough for multitasking.  It’s paired with only 512MB of RAM but again, Windows 8 is light so speed should not be a problem.   The rest of the main specs include a 2,000mAh battery, NFC, wireless charging, 6.7-megapixel rear camera with f/1.9 lens, 1.3-megapixel front camera with wide-angle lens.
