Nokia Partners with China Mobile for Lumia 920T

Nokia and China Mobile have announced the Lumia 920T, the first TD-SCDMA Windows Phone in China.

With advanced location services, photography, and fast mobile browsing on China Mobile’s 3G network, the Lumia 920T offers Chinese consumers a new smartphone experience.

“We are delighted to partner with China Mobile, the world’s largest operator, to introduce China’s first Lumia based on Windows Phone 8.  People around the world are responding positively to the new Lumia devices, and we’re confident that the enthusiasm will extend to China with the Lumia 920T,” said Stephen Elop, president and CEO of Nokia.

The Lumia 920T uses Pureview’s advanced floating lens technology, and takes in five times more light than competing smartphones without using a flash. This makes it possible for people to capture clear, bright pictures and video indoors and at night, says Nokia.

“Our close cooperation with Nokia is a key contributor to the success of China’s TD industry, and will further enhance the rapidly growing TD ecosystem. We are excited about this important next step in our partnership, and we look forward to creating an even more vibrant TD industry together,” said Li Yue, president of China Mobile Communications Corporation.

The Lumia 920T will be available for order by the end of the year. It will retail at RMB 4599 without contract and come in four colours; black, white, yellow and red.
