We have two new Nokia Lumia devices in this years Mobile World Congress. We already know that Nokia was readying couple of Windows Phone 8 smartphones and few Asha series smartphones for this years MWC. Now both the WP8 devices viz. Nokia Lumia 720 and Nokia Lumia 520 are official. Nokia is giving some serious hardware boost in all these handsets. Dual core processor may not sound too impressive to you but remember these are Krait based Snapdragon S4 Plus, very good in business. Lumia 720 gets Carl Ziess teaser lens 6.7 MP camera with impressive f/1.9 inch aperture. Possibly, it’s a PureView camera. But I can’t conform this as it’s not claimed as of now. We also expected Nokia Lumia 1000 with 41 MP PureView camera in this years MWC. But this hasn’t happened for some reason.
