Nokia launched five new handsets at its press conference at Mobile World Congress, Barcelona today.
The line-up includes Asha 303, Asha 202, Asha 203, Nokia Lumia 610, and its biggest launch yet, the Nokia 808 PureView.
41-megapixel model
In what aims to be the Finnish handset maker's biggest launch yet, the 808 PureView combines a whopping 41 megapixel sensor with a Carl Zeiss lens and the ability to record video in 1080p Full HD.
It also features Dolby headphone technology and Dolby Digital plus for 5.1 channel surround playback. The phone will run Symbian Belle.
Nokia Lumia 610 is a highly affordable windows phone which runs Windows Mango 7.5 and runs on a lower processor and memory than conventional Windows Phones, made possible by a Microsoft software release. It is available in white, cyan, magenta and black and European pricing has been estimated at €189, roughly Rs 12,000.
3 Asha phones
Nokia's three Asha phones aim to capitalise on its S40 range of phones by bringing feature-packed phones at an attractive price. The Asha 303 supports Mail for Exchange, features a full QWERTY keyboard and allows users to access chat services such as WhatsApp. It runs a 1Ghz processor and is 3G-enabled.
The Asha 202 and 203 feature 2.4-inch touch-screens with conventional keyboards, with the Asha 202 being a dual-SIM phone. The phones also support EA games.
