A well designed and beautifully crafted smartphone, which packs a stunning camera for the price point. Windows Phone 8 is its Achilles heel, however. If you want a good smartphone with above average capabilities basics and don't want to pay the earth...

The Nokia Lumia 720 is priced at roughly Rs 18,200 and will go head on with the Sony Xperia L and even the Samsung Galaxy Grand. We haven't reviewed the Xperia L yet, but looking at the specifications, we can safely say that the Lumia 720 is slimmer and...
