Comparisons Featuring Nokia Lumia 720
Short Review
- The Nokia Lumia 720 features a compact design with dimensions of 127.9 x 67.5 x 9 mm and a weight of 128g, making it comfortable to hold.
- Its 4.3-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 217 ppi, suitable for basic tasks.
- Performance is driven by a dual-core 1.0 GHz Qualcomm MSM8227 chipset, supported by 512MB of RAM, which is adequate for everyday use but may struggle with demanding applications.
- The rear camera boasts a 6.7 MP sensor with autofocus, capable of recording 720p video at 30fps, while the front camera is 1.3 MP for basic selfies.
- Battery life is provided by a 2000mAh capacity, but it lacks fast charging and wireless charging capabilities.
- The device runs on Microsoft Windows Phone 8, upgradable to 8.1, offering a unique user interface and app ecosystem.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, and NFC, but it does not support 5G.
- The Lumia 720 is available in multiple colors, including White, Red, Yellow, Cyan, and Black.
- Overall, it combines a solid build with essential features, though it may not meet the needs of power users.
