Nokia Lumia 820 for the price of Lumia 720 just for today

If you have been eyeing a Windows Phone 8 smartphone but can’t bear to spend the big bucks for the Lumia 920, today’s your lucky day.

The second-tier Nokia Lumia 820 is available for close to the price of a Lumia 720, but the deal ends today. Head to HomeShop18 and use a coupon at the purchase page to avail a Rs 3,000 discount on the Lumia 820. As a result, the phone is available for Rs 19,495, which we think is a great price for this phone.

Sounds like a great deal

Consider this: The Lumia 720 currently is priced at Rs 17, 599, but is bogged down by the 512MB of RAM, as pointed out in our review . But there are no RAM limitations in the Lumia 820, which also has a faster dual-core Snapdragon S4 chipset, with the CPU clocked at 1.5GHz. The 820 has an 8-megapixel camera as opposed to the Lumia 720’s 6.7-megapixel shooter. To our ears, this sounds like a great deal and a no-brainer especially if you are looking for a budget Lumia. Looks like it’s a good day for Lumia fans waiting for a price drop as the Lumia 920’s price has also been slashed .

Besides the Nokia Lumia 820, there are other recently launched smartphones in the shopping portal’s SuperDeals offer. The Sony Xperia Z is being sold for Rs 32, 495, which is a discount of Rs 5494 on the original price. The Samsung Galaxy S3 was also being sold at a discount, but the deal has now expired. On the lower-end, Samsung’s Galaxy Y Duos, Galaxy S Duos and Galaxy Fame are also part of the discounts, along with Karbonn’s A12.
