Nokia Launches Lumia 920/820 In Nigeria

As competition continues to brew in the $219.1 billion global
smartphone market, leading mobile phone manufacturer,
Nokia, has unveiled its latest instalment – the Lumia 920/820
Windows 8 Phone devices in Nigeria, Ghana and other key
markets.
According to analysts, the launch of the Lumia range of
Windows Phone 8 phones might be the answer to the phone
maker's battle regain lost market shares after it was
overthrown as the biggest phone manufacturer in the world by
Apple and Samsung in 2011.
The Nokia Lumia range comes in different colours with
attractive and unique features such as an inbuilt wireless
charging system, Nokia's new PureMotion HD Plus display
with a 1280 x 768 resolution, Nokia Maps and Nokia City
Lens, which is a unique augmented reality app that helps users
locate places by just holding up their devices. The innovative
device is expected to give customers the best smartphone
experience with its full-versions of Microsoft Office, Outlook
and Internet Explorer 10 that can help users create and edit
Microsoft PowerPoint, Excel and Word documents anywhere
they are, and browse easier and faster than ever with a 4G
connection.
The Lumia 920 also comes with the latest innovations in
PureView imaging technology – including an advanced
floating lens technology that takes in five times more light
than other smartphones which enable users to capture sharp,
crisp pictures and videos even indoors and at night, without
using flash. This is complemented by Optical Image
Stabilisation, a first of its kind feature which prevents pictures
and videos from blurring when users are on the move.
Although the new device is set to hit the stores by 2013,
Nokia Nigeria is offering consumers the chance to pre-order
the devices in MTN stores and also online on MTN Website.
In return, all pre-bookers will get to choose from a set of
accessories including the DT-900, the cool new wireless
charging plate from Nokia, at discounted prices.

and Nokia Lumia 920 were ready for business with a full
business suite right out of the box, comprising Microsoft
Office suite, Sky Drive and Microsoft Lync.
