Is Nokia getting ready to launch Lumia 520 and 720 smartphones? A regulatory filing seems to point in that direction.
Nokia 520 and 720 devices were both on the list of a regulatory filing in Indonesia picked up by blog site PhoneArena.com.
The 520 would be the likely successor to the current Lumia 510, while the 720 would take over for the Lumia 710. Their inclusion on the list indicates that both won certification from Indonesia's equivalent of the FCC on Wednesday, according to PhoneArena.com.

The regulatory document doesn't spill any details about the devices, but some rumors surfaced just today. An unnamed source revealed a few alleged tidbits to MyNokiaBlog, a third-party site unaffiliated with Nokia.
The source claimed that the Lumia 520 would come with a 4-inch Super Sensitive touchscreen, a 1Ghz dual-core processor, 512MB of memory, 8GB of storage, and a microSD card slot. The phone would have a 5-megapixel camera on the back but no camera in the front. The 520 would also run Windows Phone 8.
The higher-end 720 would offer a 4.3-inch screen using Nokia's ClearBlack display. Powered by a 1Ghz dual-core chip, the 720 would come with 512MB of memory, 8GB of storage, and a microSD card slot. The phone would sport a 6-MP camera in the back and a 2-MP camera in the front. And like the 520, the 720 would be equipped with Windows Phone 8.
The tipster doesn't reveal where or how this information was obtained, so consider these specs in the rumor mill for now.
But we could learn more about both phones by the end of this month. Nokia is expected to demo its upcoming Lumia lineup when Mobile World Congress kicks off the last week of February.
CNET contacted Noka for comment and will update the story when the company responds.
