A Masterstroke by Nokia

When the Nokia Lumia 920, 820 event was nearing on the 5th of September, well, almost all the tech sites and in general, the public had a common notion that Nokia had actually crushed its last hope of gaining some reasonable market share. Well what was the reason that was behind it? Thats right ! The iPhone 5. And just on this 12th Apple released its new vastly touted iPhone, which did not go as every one was expecting it would be.
As far as Nokia was concerned, it had put full throttle on its innovation and R&D and bought a product to the market that was not only innovative but had one of the latest and greatest hardware and OS on Earth. It had a Dual Core Snapdragon S4 chipset, Wireless charging, Uni body Polycarbonate shell, NFC and corning gorilla glass. On top of that it has Nokia city lens (One of the best augmented reality apps available), some nicely made and thought out camera features and various colorful accessories to go with the phone.

On the other hand, what does Apple bring to the table to compete in a market already full with such quality devices as Galaxy SIII, HTC One X, a improved processor, improved RAM, a 4 Inch screen and a Panorama App! This is the second consecutive time that Apple has not stepped up its game and they might not know this but this holiday season, Apple might have to face the competition that it never has.


It was expected that Apple announcement would overshadowed the Nokia event but this worked in favor of Nokia more that it did for Apple. If Apple has something tricky in its pocket, remember those sentences that apple used " "And one thing more", that didn't happen this time around. On top of that, almost on every site it was compared to the Nokia Lumia 920 and the Samsung Galaxy SIII, giving Nokia a free press. Well what ever happens the iPhone certainly is going to sell like hotcakes but Nokia has the chance of its life to come back into the smartphone market with a bang. We will see what happens this holiday season. This certainly is the biggest tech year of all times.
