Expanding its Lumia portfolio, Finnish handset maker Nokia Wednesday
launched two new mobile phones including a Windows 8 phone priced at Rs
10,500.
Lumia 520, Nokia's most affordable Windows Phone 8
smartphone, with the same digital camera lenses as on Lumia 920, will be
available in the market within a week.
Lumia 720, which has
a high-end camera, will be available by Mid-April. The company did not
disclose the price of Lumia 720 but said it will be priced at around 249
euro, excluding taxes.
"The launch of Nokia Lumia 720 and
Nokia Lumia 520 reflects our commitment to build a winning ecosystem
that will enrich people's mobile experience and help them connect with
each other at newer price points," Nokia Director Smart Devices (India
Middle East Africa) Vipul Mehrotra told reporters here.
Nokia had unveiled both the handsets during the Mobile World Congress held in Barcelona in February.
Lumia
520, which comes in five colours, has a 4-inch display, 5 megapixel
camera and has a 1GHz dual-core processor and 512MB RAM, while Lumia 720
has a 4.3-inch display, 6.7 megapixel camera and a 1GHz dual-core
processor.
"These power-packed devices are developed for
young and socially active consumers who demand a stylish power-packed
smartphone with a wide range of features to enhance their on-the-go
experience," Nokia VP Smart Devices (UX Design) Nikki Barton said.
