Nokia, once the leader of the mobile phone world, unveiled on February 25 two new Windows Phone-based Lumia smartphones aimed at the cheaper end of the market. The Finnish group revealed the Nokia Lumia 720 and Nokia Lumia 520 on the opening day of the world's biggest mobile fair, the Mobile World Congress, in Barcelona, Spain.
"The momentum behind Nokia is gathering pace," said Nokia chief executive Stephen Elop. "The launches today reflect our commitment to broadening our devices and services portfolio to meet the demands of people and businesses around the globe."
The Nokia Lumia 720 has a camera with Carl Zeiss optics and has a starting price of 249 euros ($330) before taxes, with a rollout due to start in Hong Kong, Vietnam and Singapore in the first quarter.
The Nokia Lumia 520 would be priced at just 139 euros pre-tax, it said, the cheapest of its Windows Phone 8 devices, launching first in Hong Kong and Vietnam in the first quarter of this year before a broader release in the second quarter. Nokia said it would bring the Lumia 720 and the Nokia Lumia 520 to China.
