Nokia Lumia 720 and Lumia 520 release date set for April 1 (not a joke)

The new Nokia Lumia 720 and Lumia 520 are two very well priced devices allowing Windows Phone to finally start spreading its reach with more affordable devices, and good news is the two colorful new Nokias will launch on April 1st, at least according to UK retailer Clove.

The Nokia Lumia 720 is the more refined of the two Windows Phone 8 devices, coming in a sleek 9mm body with interchangeable covers (you can add a cover for wireless charging), and a wide f/1.9 aperture camera that should perform admirably in low light. The Lumia 720 actually has the widest aperture ever in a smartphone camera. It is a mid-ranger, but one with almost no compromises - it has a 4.3-inch ClearBlack display and both a rear and front facing camera, and carries an off-contract price of 250 euro (around $325) off contract.

The Nokia Lumia 520 on the other hand is an extremely affordable device selling only for 140 euro (around $180) off contract. Nokia really ups the bar here with a 4-inch WVGA display and a 5-megapixel rear camera. Again, it uses the cheerful design with different colors we’ve gotten used to.
