Unfortunately the same WVGA resolution as used Lumia 620 has a 3.8-inch screen size, so for issues pixel density looks a little more tenuous is not too subtle. For the tilt angle, the screen can accommodate well. Display on the screen still looks good though seen from an oblique angle almost 180 degrees. Under sunlight, the screen can also display the display clearly.

Battery
Here's one of the main advantages Lumia 720. Although the design unibodi that in fact the battery can not be removed arbitrarily but Nokia provides a battery capacity of 2000 mAh Lithium Ion battery that is claimed to be able to do stand-by time up to 520 hours and talk time up to 13.4 hours.

Conclusion
Lumia 720 priced at 3.5 million when compared directly with the Lumia 520 that fills the lowest market WP8, in terms of the specification is not too much difference. Both of these phones possess a processor, GPU, screen resolution, ROM and RAM are identical. Nevertheless the quality of the screen and body of the Lumia 720 looks nicer. Moreover, relatively large battery capacity so with specifications such as 520 (1430 mAh battery) then it would be more qualified endurance. Performanyapun still quite smooth although it can not be said very quickly but we rarely find lag.
Perhaps one of the factors that make you think again to have it is from WP 8 operating system itself does not have a collection of popular apps as iOS and Android, and if of its own RAM 512MB Lumia 720 will be obstacles for the future application compatibility issues.
We can say the Lumia 720 is WP 8 mobile middle class with a sweet and attractive price and performance specifications as well as qualified, if you really want to try or move to Windows Phone operating system, the handset is very feasible to be selected.
