Nokia Corporation
(ADR)(NYSE:NOK)’s latest Lumia 920 is faring well till date, pretty much in all
kinds of markets it has been released. In the US, AT&T is the exclusive
mobile carrier for Lumia 920. The handset seems to be doing very well there.
Amazon believes that
due to tremendous demand for the device, they are running short of cyan and
yellow-colored stock.
The white and black versions
can be ordered at Amazon Wireless. However, the retailer will ship the product
in 1-2 weeks instead of immediately.
Now, considering how
good the Nokia device is faring, can it really compete with the Samsung Galaxy
S3 or Apple iPhone 5? It doesn’t seem so.
It was earlier this
year, in April, to be precise, when Nokia had released the Lumia 900, which had
topped Amazon sales charts. As per Nokia’s results of the second quarter, only
600,000 mobile phones were sold in North America. Analysts predicted that less
than 300,000 of those phones were Nokia Lumia 900s.
The so-called
‘tremendous’ demand that Amazon has reported recently for Nokia Lumia 920 may
not mean much. It can be explained by the theory that since Nokia is cautious
after the poor demand of the Lumia 900, it simply did not produce enough units
of Lumia.
However, the Nokia
Lumia 920 can be more successful than the Nokia Lumia 920. It is possible to
know the number of units Nokia is selling before the start of 2013, when
Nokia’s quarter 4 results are going to be out.
Unlike the Lumia 900,
Lumi a920 has something to stand apart from other smartphones available in the
market. Features like 8.7 MP PureView camera has made it a popular choice in
the current smartphone market. It is being estimated that minimum a couple of
millions of units of Nokia Lumia 920 will be sold across the globe before 2012
ends.
