Nokia makes some good sales before Micrsoft acquistion

After the inception of Android Nokia lost its ranking in sales of mobile phones and came down drastically. Android OS was ported on a lot of smartphones from a lot of manufacturers; it gave customers a wide variety of smartphones to choose from. Nokia’s MeeGo and Symbian started to disappoint users worldwide; Nokia took a quick decision to opt for a new mobile phone operating system. It is when Nokia brought the Windows Phone OS with its Lumia series of phones.

In October 2011 Nokia launched its first Windows Phone in coordination with Microsoft. The company launched 2 Windows Phones namely Lumia 800 and Lumia 710. After the success of Lumia phones Nokia never turned back and it kept on launching phones in the Lumia series. Today we have 17 smartphones in the Lumia family. As the company grew or we rather say bounced back with Lumia Phones, it started promoting the same design element with its Asha series of phones and got some good sales.

Nokia’s Lumia phones are very popular among users worldwide; Nokia Lumia 520 is one fine example for that. This device from Nokia acquires 25% of the world’s total number of Windows smartphone share. This device is the world’s best selling smartphone; it comes with a budget price tag and offer great features.

Some of the popular Lumia smartphones are the Award winning Lumia 925, Lumia 920, Lumia 520, Lumia 525 and Lumia 1020- the best camera phone in the world.

With these Lumia Phones Nokia was actually able to push the sales number in the third quarter by 19% globally; the company has sold 36 million units of phones between Q4 2011 and October 2013. While the shipment of Lumia phones stood at 9.5 million in the third quarter 2013 which accounted for 93.2% of overall windows phone. Nokia never ignores the scope for growth in India, it recently brought out updates in the Asha series to offer social networking along with Whatsapp messenger. The Asha series of phones offer good features and durability in the budget price category.


Now that Nokia is going to be acquired by Microsoft, we are surely going to miss that Nokia brand name. Although the engineering methods and product quality may not differ much but that brand name certainly matters to the large number of fan following.
