The availability of this terminal will be for the next few days in the three operators available in Argentina: Claro, Movistar, and Personal.

Nokia X and Nokia Lumia 930 for later

As for the high-end of this new batch of terminals with Windows Phone 8.1, Nokia Lumia 930, it would arrive for the last quarter of the yearaccompanied by the Nokia X.

The Nokia Lumia 930 is a terminal that has specifications and design worthy of a high-end product. Among the outstanding features, we have a 5-inch FullHD screen and a 20-megapixel camera.

Meanwhile, the Nokia X was the Finnish company's first approach to the Android ecosystem, albeit with many overtones of Windows Phone. Naturally, this is a low-end product and with enough specifications to achieve a decent experience.

Windows Phone, the second most used operating system in Argentina

In addition to the presentation of this terminal, the people of Microsoft made a place to show the growth of Windows Phone in the country. According to the company, Windows Phone is the second most used mobile operating system in Argentina.

André Jaquet, general manager of Microsoft Devices for South America, says that "Windows Phone is today the second most used mobile operating system and the fastest growing in Argentina, according to data provided by the IDC Latin America Mobile Devices Tracke; accompanying global development trends”.

“On the other hand, the Windows Phone application store has demonstrated fluid growth, offering access to more than 270,000 applications,” he adds.

Meanwhile, Cristian Capelli, Head of Smart Devices at Microsoft Devices for the Americas, comments that "Windows Phone 8.1 shows the constant evolution of the operating system that brings users a simple and fluid experience together with Microsoft's most innovative services” .
