If you are a budget conscious user, and is planning to buy a Windows Phone 8 based Nokia Lumia 820, think again, and re-look at the Nokia Lumia 720 with impressive specs and cost effectiveness.

Here are the top 5 reason why you should go for a Lumia 720, instead of a 820.

Note: If you buy something from our links, we might earn a commission. See our disclosure statement.

  1. Better unibody design than the Lumia 820.
  2. Corning Gorilla Glass 2 – ClearBlack display.
  3. A FF 1.3 MP, 720p@30fps on the 720 vs a VGA Camera on the 820.
  4. Better camera with a 1/3.6” sensor and takes excellent low light photos.
  5. Better battery, 2000 mAh battery vs a 1650 mAh battery.

Also, there is a slightly better GPU on the 720, Adreno 305 vs a Adreno 225

Here are the complete spec sheet:
