The Nokia Lumia 920 and Nokia Lumia 820 launches in India
It's amazing how things work out sometimes. Earlier this month, we passed along a message from a Nokia employee manning the Live Chat at the Nokia Cafe. The message leaked the news that the
Nokia Lumia 920 and Nokia Lumia 820 would be launched in India on January 11th. Lo and behold, that is exactly what Nokia announced on Thursday. Starting on Friday, select retail stores throughout the major cities in the country will have the
Nokia Lumia 920 and
Nokia Lumia 820 in stock. The
Nokia Lumia 620 will be released next month.
The Nokia Lumia 920 will cost INR38,199 ($698.55 USD) and will be available in yellow, red, white and black. This is Nokia's high-end Windows Phone 8 model. The mid-range Nokia Lumia 820 will come in red, yellow, cyan, white and black. The price for this unit is INR27,559 ($503.98 USD). The entry-level Nokia Lumia 620 won't be priced until its release, but will be available in magenta, yellow, cyan, white and black.
All three models will have access to
Nokia Maps,
Drive,
Transport and
Augmented Reality based City Lens. Nokia Mix Radio brings streaming music to the units for free. Camera buffs will be happy to hear about the exclusive apps for the shooter, Cinemagraph, PhotoBeamer and Smart Shoot. All of those apps allow you to become an artist with a lens.
"We are working with partners across the board to take the Lumia experience to more and more consumers faster. The roll out of not two, but three devices marks not just our intent and agility, but also reflects our commitment to our consumers in India. With a range of accessories and partnerships to bring wireless charging outside the home, we are also kickstarting wireless charging into the mainstream. All this innovation adds up to one thing – it’s Time to Switch!"-Vipul Mehrotra, Director & Head of Smart Devices, Nokia India
India is one of the largest and fastest growing countries when it comes to mobile phone usage. The Nokia Lumia 920 has sold well in emerging markets and
recently spawned long lines not once, but twice at the Nokia Store in Shanghai.
