Nokia Lumia 720:



This device is the limelight & also the sweet spot, in the Nokia’s Lumia range.
It is perfectly sandwiched between the Nokia Lumia 820 & the Nokia Lumia 620. I was about to get Nokia Lumia 620 as my first smartphone, but this announcement has made me switch my mind. I’m going to get a matte cyan Nokia Lumia 720, & that too as soon as next month (March 2013). Let us see about some of its specifications

• 4.3″ CBD Curved blackdisplay
• Super sensitive touch
• Unibody with microSD support upto 64Gb
• Nokia Music unlimited (free)
• Nokia Music + (4 € )
• NFC
• HD 6.7MP sensor Carl Zeiss optics with f1.9 apperture camera with flash and a HAAC mic near it
• wide angled HD front facing of 1.3 MP sensor 
• Place tag app
• Site app (part of Here suite) 
• wireless charging via a snap on cover
• 2000mAh battery (same as Nokia Lumia 920)
• 128 grams
• Glam Me
• Special coating improving viewing angles and helping to be less of a finger print magnet
• Powered by Qualcomm’s MSM8227 Snapdragon S4 Plus (28nm, 1Ghz dual-core Krait, Adreno 305, BT 4.0 (though 3.0 only given right now), wi-fi a/b/g/n with dual band, HSPA+) it is the same as the one found in the HTC 8S & the home grown Nokia Lumia 620

• Standby 520 hours and a talk time of 13.5 hrs

• Gloss (white) and Matte (others)
• The only phone (till date) to have four physical lenses along with a f/2.4 back side illuminated front HD 1.3MP sensored camera!
• More details 

[Now i have to tell you this, people buying any other phone other than Nokia, are doing injustice to the idea of owing a Mobile phone itself!]

Introduced/announced in MWC 2013:

We’re leaders of Augumented reality, we just in the young stages, more to come.

–Stephen Elop

 Note that the above is said by Nokia’s CEO Mr.Elop when someone asked about Nokia’s hand at Augmented  reality projects like the Google Inc’s Google Glass. So the future do seems interesting! And to add the fact that their was no announcement of the hyper expected 41MP WP Lumia device.

Dual sim will come eventually to Nokia Lumia
