14 DAY TRIAL // Today, Australian wireless carrier Vodafone officially announced the availability of the Nokia Lumia 720 smartphone on its network starting with April 17, while also unveiling details on the smartphone’s price tag.
The handset will be launched on the carrier’s network for $0 per month on the $30 Plan over 24 months (total min cost $720), and will be available for acquisition through its brick and mortar stores, online on its website, and over the phone.
Made official in February at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, the smartphone arrives on the market with Microsoft’s Windows Phone 8 operating system loaded on top, and is capable of offering an appealing camera experience, given its price range.
“The Nokia Lumia 720 is a chic and social smartphone that won’t stretch the budget,” the wireless services provider notes in a blog post.
The handset arrives on shelves with a 4.3-inch Clear Black touchscreen display, while packing a 1GHz dual-core processor inside, along with 512MB of RAM.
Furthermore, the smartphone features 8GB of internal memory, a microSD memory card slot for expansion purposes, a 6.7MP camera on the back, a front camera for video calling, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS receiver, and the usual set of sensors.
“The 6.7MP Carl Zeiss wide angle main camera captures stunning pictures at both day and night thanks to a leading f1.9 aperture. Those shots will look great surrounded by the gorgeous gloss-white unibody design with curved 4.3″ Clear Black Display,” Vodafone notes.
The smartphone also packs Nokia’s full suite of HERE applications, including Maps, Drive, Transit, and Nokia City Lens, so that users could find places near them much easier than before.
“If the Lumia 720 sounds right up your alley, get into store, give us a call or jump online next Wednesday. Full pricing details will also be available on that day,” the wireless carrier concluded.
