Good news for Windows Phone enthusiasts in Singapore as Nokia plans to launch the Lumia 520 and 720 smartphones very soon.

According to MyNokiaBlog, both smartphones are expected to hit shelve in Q1 2013. Unfortunately, there’s no telling exactly when the handset will go on sale and for what prices.

The Lumia 520 and 720 are Nokia’s attempt to bring the PureView technology and other high-end features included in Lumia 920 to mid- and low-end range.

While both smartphones are packed with the same 1GHz dual-core processors, the Lumia 720 features a much better 6.7-megapixel rear camera with Carl Zeiss optics and HD (720p) video recording.

It is also worth mentioning that Lumia 520 sports a 4-inch IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen display, whereas the Lumia 720 boasts a slightly larger 4.3-inch ClearBlack display with Corning Gorilla Glass 2 coating.
