Nokia, in India, has been challenged in the past by competition in smart phones. However, it is gaining back the market share through a series of ‘innovative’ smart phones, said a senior company official.

“We are leading the consumers with innovation. We did not do the way we did in the past. We were challenged by competition. But we are now setting new benchmarks in innovation,” said Mr D Shivakumar, Senior Vice President, Nokia IMEA.

Nokia in India is strengthening smart devices and services portfolio in India. It is expanding its Lumia range of devices with the upcoming Nokia Lumia 610 and Nokia Lumia 900.

The Finnish telecom major will soon launch the much anticipated Nokia 808 Pure View. “We should have Pure View phones by the middle of this month,” said Mr Vipul Mehrotra, Director, Smart Device, Nokia India.

Nokia 808 Pure View combines a large, high resolution 41-megapixel, sensor, Carl Zeiss optics and Nokia developed pixel over sampling technology.
