Nokia unveils 4 new devices – Nokia 105, Nokia 301, Lumia 520 and Lumia 720
Introducing the new devices, Nokia CEO Stephen Elop told a press conference at MWC: “Today we’re introducing the world’s most innovative portfolio of products.
“The momentum behind Nokia is gathering pace. The launches today reflect our commitment to broadening our devices and services portfolio to meet the demands of people and businesses around the globe.” “By offering better experiences at a more affordable price we are reinventing the battle for affordable mobile devices, and Nokia has the building blocks to win.”
Nokia 105 – Cheapest Phone @ $13
Nokia unveiled its cheapest mobile phone yet – Nokia 105. The colour screen phone, possibly meant for the developing countries, comes with an FM radio and a Torch. It has a dust- and splash-proof keymat and a month battery life. Nokia explained that it could be perfect for those living in areas where reliable electricity is in short supply.
The Nokia 301 is more sophisticated and is “inspired” by the Lumia range, offering smart camera features and the Nokia Xpress Browser from the Asha range. The Nokia 301 is available in both single and Dual SIM models. The Nokia 301 Dual SIM is 3.5G HSPA capable phone with a 2.4″ screen and pillowed key mat.

The Finnish manufacturer said it wants to bring high-end innovations to more people at different price points, with the two new Lumia devices aimed at the middle and lower end of the smartphone markets.
The Nokia Lumia 520 is Nokia’s “most affordable” Windows Phone 8 smartphone and aims to deliver experiences normally found in high-end devices. It is slightly smaller at four inches, but also has 512MB of RAM, 8GB of storage an a 1GHz dual core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. It’s cheaper too and is expected to cost €139 (£120) when it arrives in Europe during the second quarter of this year.
Lumia 720
The 4.3-inch Nokia Lumia 720 promises high-end camera performance at a mid-range price point and will apparently take clear pictures during both day and night, with its HD-quality, wide-angle, front-facing camera perfect for video calls.
Nokia says that the Lumia 720 will be released in some Aisan markets during the first quarter of 2013, before touching down in China, India, Asia, Africa and Europe, where it is expected to cost €249 (£215) before taxes and subsidies are applied.
