From ruling the market in the early 2000s to introducing the first smartphones in the country, Nokia has been trying to regain the lost glory in the country.

Nokia’s acquisition by Microsoft in April 2014 was a step towards saving the company and making a comeback in the handset market.

It is noticeable that Nokia introduced the concept of smartphones in India; they created the vision of phones performing more tasks than just making calls and text messages.  Nokia was a key developer of GSM and was the first one who recognized the opportunity of bringing gaming market on phones and productized it into N-Gage handsets.

They also launched E-series which was designed for the business segment. Let’s see what Nokia has to offer to its customers this year.

• Nokia currently offers 18 Windows OS based smartphones in India.
• Nokia offers 9 smartphones which are priced for mid segment. These handsets are available for price range INR 8000 – 15000.
• Nokia has smartly placed 9 smartphones in the high end category.
• Nokia recently introduced Android based X series in India.
