Nigerian Prices For Nokia Lumia

Right from the good old days of Nokia 3310, Nokia products have held away in Nigeria.

Before now Nokia phones have won their hearts of many Nigerians mainly because of its long lasting batteries. This is totally understandable in a country where electricity is not guaranteed the next hour.

Finland’s Nokia was founded in 1865 though it has become a global phenomenon now. It sold its devices and services to I.T. giant Microsoft in 2014 enabling them to design phones that run on Windows Operating Systems.

Nokia has been a household name since the introduction of GSM to Nigeria. The influence of Nokia phones has waned over the years with the inroads made by Apple, LG, BlackBerry, Samsung and most recently, Tecno, but Nokia Lumia is still a smartphone of choice for many Nigerians.

Nokia Lumia is a series of smartphone from Nokia operating on Windows OS. Well, in this piece on Nigerian prices for Nokia Lumia, I will critically review some Nokia Lumia phones – specifications and their prices.
