Nokia Lumia 920 and Lumia 820 to be launched on October 23
Nokia is all set to release its flagship Lumia series smartphones in India on October 23. The two phones to be launched are Lumia 820 and Lumia 920 with the expected prices being Rs 20,000 and Rs 43,000 respectively. Although, the pricing will be the key factor for Nokia's new Lumia Smartphones. Recently launched Samsung Galaxy Note 2, and already popular Samsung Galaxy SIII are priced at for Rs ~38,500 and ~34,500 respectively, and with the launch of iPhone 5, Apple has also slashed the prices of iPhone 4S 16GB to 38,500 and a new 8GB variant at 26,500.
