Two new Windows Phone 8 smartphones, the Nokia Lumia 920 and 820, were unveiled at a joint Microsoft and Nokia event today. The handsets include built-in wireless inductive charging, PureView cameras, and dual-core processors, a change from the duo's single-core approach in the first round of Lumias.

The screen on the phones measure 4.5 inches diagonally, and the 920 will have five body color options: white, gray, black, yellow, and red. The Lumia 820 has a wider range of color options, including purple and blue. The Lumia 920 will have 1GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, a 1.5GHz Snapdragon S4 dual-core processor, and a 2000mAh battery.

The 820 differs in the body design, though it uses the same polycarbonate material, and has a 1650mAh battery. The 820's back cover snaps off to provide access to an SD card slot.
