Up close with the Nokia Lumia 720

BARCELONA, Spain--Of the four new phones Nokia announced at MWC, the Lumia 720 is the most advanced. Compared with the Lumia 920 and Lumia 820 series, though, its features and price are still midrange.

Colors

The Lumia 720 comes in the full spectrum of Nokia's new color palette, including this glossy white finish, and matte finishes in red, yellow, cyan, and basic black.

Side view

I like that the Lumia 720 has a slimmer build. There are, of course, the usual button placements as well. The handset, which has a 4.7-inch ClearBlack display, is fairly large, but not as hulking or bulky as the 920.

I Got an Early Look at Intel's Glass Packaging Tech for Faster Chips
Rahul Manepalli, right, Intel's module engineering leader, shows a glass substrate panel before it's sliced into the small rectangles that will be bonded to the undersides of hundreds of test processors. The technology, shown here at Intel's CH8 facility in Chandler, Arizona, stands to improve performance and power consumption of advanced processors arriving later this decade. Glass substrates should permit physically larger processors comprised of several small "chiplets" for AI and data center work, but Intel expects they'll trickle down to PCs, too.
