Nokia is going to unveil at least two new Windows Phone 8 handsets next week in Barcelona during MWC. Both devices are on the lower end- of the spectrum are far from the often rumored (and probably fake?) Nokia EOS. The first one will be the Nokia Lumia 520 pictured above which is meant to be the company’s cheapest WP8 device. Yes even cheaper than the currently universally acclaimed Lumia 620. The second one pictured below is the Nokia Lumia 720 which will slot between the Lumia 820 and Lumia 620.


Nokia is attempting to flood the market will a relatively large range of WP8 devices in the smae way as Samsung is currently doing with it’s line of Galaxy handsets (Note, S, S Mnin, Ace etc..). It is also safe to say that if a the company is planning to announce a product that will top it’s current flagship product the 920 our Twitter pal @evleaks will probably have the renders prior to monday’s unveiling… You will also note the Nokia Maps has been rebranded / renamed has Here Maps.
