Nokia Corporation (NYSE:NOK) Lumia 830 Leaked,
AT&T Offers Nokia Lumia 920 For $99
As the reports reveal, Nokia Corporation
(ADR)(NYSE:NOK) has another Windows phone lined up. The Nokia Lumia 830 will
confusingly be a lower-end handset, when compared to the Lumia 820.
The Lumia 920 is definitely the successor to the
Lumia 900. However, the Lumia 820 is the updated Lumia 800. That makes the
Lumia 830 the sequel to the Lumia 710 from last year.
The Nokia Lumia 830 is supposed to come in 5
different colors. Unfortunately, there has been no more information regarding
its insides. Also, there has been no divulgence regarding the date of release.
In other news, AT&T is offering the flagship
smartphone from Nokia, the Lumia 920 for $99 and the Nokia Lumia 820 for $49.99
to people, who are willing to agree on a 2-year contract.
The cost of the Lumia 920 that is powered by the
Windows 8 operating system of Microsoft is cheaper than its competitors.
Samsung’s Galaxy Note II is being offered at $299 and Apple’s iPhone 5 is being
offered at $199 from AT&T on a two-year contract.
EVP for Nokia’s Global sales and Marketing
division, Chris Weber explained that the price offering for the Nokia Lumia 920
is lower than expectations since AT&T decided to finance some of the
expenses so as to persuade more consumers to subscribe to its network and
commit on a 2-year contract. Weber said that carrier subsidies are always a
decision that is taken by the mobile carrier, but they help bringing a product
to an exceptionally compelling price point.
AT&T also boosted the competitiveness of the
Nokia Lumia 920 by offering the wireless charging pad free of cost to
customers, who will buy the product early. The offer will be available for a
short span of time. An analyst from
Current analysis, Avi Greengart said that Nokia is more focused on selling a
large amount of its smartphones to set up a customer base and amplify its
market stock rather than generating higher profit.
