Nokia held an event today in Abu Dhabi and they announced two new Lumia phones and a tablet. The new phones are Nokia Lumia 1320 and Nokia Lumia 1520 both of which feature 6 inch screen.
They were live streaming the event at the Nokia Conversations blog and I guess the event coverage will be uploaded soon on YouTube. Nokia is making some good releases and the best of Nokia is the innovation in the Camera. The Nokia Camera App that they released during the launch of Lumia 1020 is really nice.
Today, Nokia not only announced these phones but their first tablet device too, Nokia Lumia 2520. Nokia is emerging well as a smartphone company but the main thing is that they aren't focussing well enough on their existing portfolio.
