Finnish handset maker, Nokia, launched its latest duo of Windows Phone 8 devices in India. Both the Lumia 720 and the Lumia 520 are taking center stage with hopes to boost Nokia's prospects against an ever-increasing Android threat.

The most affordable of the two is the Lumia 520, which is also the most affordable Windows Phone 8 handset ahead of the Lumia 620. The Lumia 520 is one capable device, as it boasts the same camera lens found on high-end Lumia 920. There's also the addition of Nokia Music, which is free out of the box with optional premium features, and Nokia HERE maps along with a 4-inch capacitive touch screen. The expected price should be around Rs 10,500, which is relatively affordable.

Here are some of the highlighted features of the Lumia 520:

• 4-inch ClearBlack LCD display with a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels
• 3G, EDGE/GRPS, Wi-Fi
• GPS with A-GPS
• Bluetooth 3.0 with A2DP
• 5-megapixel camera with 720p video recording
• 8GB internal memory, expandable up to 64GB via microSD

The Lumia 720 might not be of the high-end variety, but it brings to the table quite a few high-end features from the Lumia 920. The device comes packed with a capable 6.7-megapixel camera with f/1.9 aperture and Carl Zeiss optics. This bad boy should take some compelling photos; the only things missing are PureView camera features. The Lumia 720 is expected to hit the Rs 17,420 price point, a price that is quite affordable for what one is getting.

Here are some of the highlighted features of the Lumia 720:

• 4.3-inch ClearBlack LCD display with a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels
• 3G, EDGE/GPRS, Wi-Fi
• GPS with GLONASS
• NFC, Bluetooth 3.0
• 6.7-megapixel camera with BSI sensor and 720p video recording, 1.3 megapixel front-facing HD wide angle camera with Skype integration
• 8GB internal memory, expandable up to 64GB via microSD
