The Nokia Lumia family keeps growing... is that good?
Table of contents:
We are still hungover from the tremendous presentation a few weeks ago, with the bestial 1020 still in our retinas - never better said -, and yesterday Nokia arrived with the landing of the successor to the 620, the 625 .
So continues a maddening rhythm of announcements that began almost two years ago with the Nokia 700, which has produced a new model every two months, at least.
An overview of announcements and presentations
Thus, the 710 appeared in October 2011, followed in November by the lumia 800 "> calling its predecessors into question. Within a few weeks the The smallest member of the family in the form of the 610, along with the largest: the Lumia 900.
And then came the Windows Phone 7 debacle, when it was confirmed that the new operating system (Windows Phone 8) was not compatible with current phones, and that a new range of devices would appear on the market. 2012.
To make up for it, the quality of these WP8s took a quantum leap in the next batch of the family: 620, 820 and 920 Which demonstrated the technological capacity of Nokia, and delved into the de facto monopoly that the brand has in Windows Phone phones.
But when we were beginning to enjoy our mobiles, Nokia has entered into a dynamic of presentations much closer in time, and that have been defoliating the daisy.
This is how the 520 and 720 arrive, which put the 620 and 820 in a difficult situation, since they earn either by price or benefits from their older brothers (speaking of less than a year of life ).
In May, the 925 and 928 were made available to the public, direct competitors of the Lumia 920, which reached the hands of Spanish buyers just three months earlier .
July will remain in memory as the month in which a true ">" occurs
And today, two weeks later, the Nokia Lumia 625 is presented which, with its 4.7 inches, eradicates the option of the 820, 720 and 620 . Making the model go from a low/medium range, to a medium/high range.
The astonished face is quite a poem
I must admit that I am not completely impartial. The 920 I have is going to cost me two years at a phone company. And when I see the 92x and the 1020, for even less cost than I have paid, my shocked face is proportional to the feeling of frustration and misunderstanding.
But this system of cascading presentations of equipment that replaces the previous ones in a few months should work for Nokia, since has sold more than 7 million Smartphones around the world.
Although on the one hand it obtains an increasing number of people ">
On the other hand, most of the annoying people, and of the people who are going to buy a new mobile, have the full security in acquiring a brand where all their devices are of high quality, and excellent performance.
Which can be very good for Nokia, but it has also become a difficult barrier to entry for other manufacturers (there aren't really many) and has created a relationship in the general public between Windows Phone and Nokia phones.
Perhaps it would be he althier for the ecosystem and users if there was more competition and that large companies in the sector, such as Samsung, HTC, LG, Motorola, etc., decided to open lines of devices Windows Phone.
Meanwhile, we will continue to wait for the news that comes from the cold north. And enjoying these little technological marvels.
