Nokia has officially introduced its first 6-inch Lumia smartphones into Nigeria’s tech market. The devices are the Lumia 1520, which is the company’s top of the range Windows Phone and the more affordable Lumia 1320.
The company has also commenced a Storyteller Competition through individuals could share inspirational stories of friendship and stand to win a paid trip to London.
Lumia 1520 has a 6 inch 1080p Full HD screen, an enhanced start screen that has a third column of live tiles with which users can quickly get to favourite apps faster with less scrolling.
It also comes with a 20MP PureView camera with optical image stabilization, oversampling technology and zooming capabilities which can easily capture and edit high quality pictures and tell better stories.
Olumide Balogun, Senior Manager, Product Marketing, Nokia West and Central Africa said the devices would revolutionize Nigeria’s smartphone market and boost the company’s competitiveness in the phablet category.
He said: “Both devices come pre-installed with business and productivity applications and a unique new photography application called the Storyteller app which allows people tell stories of places they’ve visited using pictures. The Storyteller App seamlessly merges two Lumia signature experiences, PureView Imaging and HERE maps, to allow users relive their photos in a new, dynamic and interactive way.”
