Nokia Lumia 720 unveiled
Nokia has just unveiled the Lumia 720, another great mid-range Windows Phone 8 device, with a typical Nokia unibody design coming in different vibrant colors.

The Nokia Lumia 720 has a 4.3” ClearBlack LCD display with a curved glass and super sensitive touch that you can use with gloves. The design is of the pillow like, ‘human’ shape. It is 9mm thick and weighs 128g.

It has a brilliant camera with extremely large aperture of f/1.9 that allows a lot of light in resulting in great low-light performance. The camera is 6.7-megapixel, with backside-illumination and auto-focus, built with a Carl Zeiss lens. It has LED flash and supports 720p video recording at 30 frames per second.

There is also a 1.3-megapixel wide-angly front-facing camera.

The Lumia 720 is the first Nokia phone with both a unibody design and a microSD memory extension card slot.

The device will arrive in glossy white or matte red, yellow, cyan and black. Best of all, it will only cost around $330 (250 euro) off contract and support wireless charging. Expect to see it on store shelves in Q2 2013.

But this slimmer :p

Aside from the lower resolution display of the Nokia, half the RAM, and undefined 1 GHz dual core processor that is undoubtedly inferior to the 1.5 GHz S4 in the 8X, sure.

Have you watch the lumia 620 sometimes beating the 920 in loading apps, etc?

10. tiara6918 posted on 25 Feb 2013, 02:49 4 2

I don't think this phone beats the 8x(since it has an hd screen, 8mp camera with full hd video recording)but the 8s

Clearblack = Cheap copy of Sammy Super Amoled Plus.

Focked by fockia? Please be serious!!

11. RaKithAPeiRiZ posted on 25 Feb 2013, 02:53 17 1

...clearblack was there since the N9 , your argument is invalid

12. Hemoroid posted on 25 Feb 2013, 02:54 17

thats not thrue!

19. mew7946510 posted on 25 Feb 2013, 03:10 14 1

It was even before that! I remember C6-01 had it!

22. Kriksis posted on 25 Feb 2013, 04:25 8

If I am not wrong first one with clear black display was Nokia E7

28. eanpreou posted on 25 Feb 2013, 06:43 7

yep I think it was the E7.

15. ogy_dogy posted on 25 Feb 2013, 03:05 6

No, and here is why, while amoled has deep black it oversaturates everything. on the other side clearblack gives you pure black but the ips tech gives you true to life colors. and as far as i know most oems are switching to ips...

16. BitterTruth (unregistered) posted on 25 Feb 2013, 03:05 7 1

Really? Clearblack is an old techno and it also produces pure white colors too not blue tints like we have seen on Super Lame-oled plus screen.

26. lolol posted on 25 Feb 2013, 05:21 5

Oh yes, ive seen that tint on every single samsung phone that has an amoled display.. My Lumia 800 has a perfect screen and no tint :D Plus the blacks are truly black, it makes phone look even more awesome...

25. lolol posted on 25 Feb 2013, 05:19 6

lol hemorid, Samsung is the onw who stole AMOLED from Nokia, dont talk if you dont know,

29. applesauce posted on 25 Feb 2013, 07:33 1 1

Nokia developed ClearBlack, and even has Samsung manufacture some of its ClearBlack AMOLED displays (I believe my Lumia 900's screen was made by Samsung). Perhaps this is what Nokia was referring to when they said Samsung may be stealing ideas from the production lines?

You just made yourself look like an idiot...
Clearblack is not a screen... Its a screen filter... Dumb...

Wow. Super troll! What a horrible joke!

7. Adithya7184 posted on 25 Feb 2013, 02:35 1

in my notification panel on this site says "Samsung has a new phone-Nokia Lumia 720" lolzz :-p

8. tigermcm posted on 25 Feb 2013, 02:37 1

if I can use on Verizon as a backup phone I'll take it!! actually I'll even take the 520

31. applesauce posted on 25 Feb 2013, 07:35 1

Unlikely, unless Verizon were to adopt GSM tech (unlikely, as they're going to be shutting down their CDMA networks over the coming years and getting everyone on LTE for data and voice). Good reason to switch to AT&T or T-Mobile

33. tigermcm posted on 25 Feb 2013, 08:57 1

Darn!! thanks though first time I ever thought of having a backup phone so didnt know what to look for

13. ogy_dogy posted on 25 Feb 2013, 03:02 3
