Mid-range Nokia WP8 Lumia phones said to arrive in early 2013

05 September, 2012

Nokia and Windows Phone fans waiting for some high-end Nokia Windows Phone 8 devices are going to get their wishes granted today at the Nokia event in the form of the Lumia 920 and 820, but what about those with not so deep pockets?

Well, it seems Nokia has something in store for them too, provided they are willing to wait till next year. According to The Verge, Nokia is working on additional low-end and mid-range Lumia phones running Windows Phone 8, expected to go on sale in early 2013.

One handset in particular, known as 'Zeal' for now, is said to have a 4.3-inch display, 1GHz dual-core processor, 512MB of RAM, 8GB internal storage capacity and a microSD card slot. The Verge also says Nokia will be adopting a Zune-style design, although we are not quite sure what that's supposed to mean.

Android kitkat is ment for low hardware low budget devices and android devices generally cost less. Because no lisecing fe is required unlike wp8 around 20$ or more is added uselessly

Wp8 sucks.it cannot utilise full power of device and chrome is power of android. Plus android is much more versatile hence attractive for developers and has.a blazing fast browser like chrome..........

well both Ativ and Lumia are nice. Nokia's design is very different then any other OEM. Samsung's ATIV is also a good device. Metal body makes it different and good from other Galaxy device which are more known for their plasticity. WP is a great OS ...
