Lumia - a hardware hitshow or a software flopshow?

Lumia - a hardware hitshow or a software flopshow?



Nokia lumia has gone hot in markets, selling more than even Nokia expected, in Q4 only, as reports says that finnish giant turned a net profit of $270 million. But however with the superb hardware innovations in the bag, Lumia 920 was the most cherished baby of finns. The super screen, wonderful lowlight camera, great covering body designs, fastest and most reactive touch, wireless charging, great nfc stuff, all were enough to make it a chartbuster.
But where things went wrong? Where it lacked? What was missing?
Our panel of experts, after some dense research, quoted few things, which are being published in non technical, general language.

Windows 8

After the final rituals of symbian, nokia adopted windows platform for its further smartphone development program. Windows as we all know is the most widely used operating system on macro stuffs like PCs and Laptops, but windows was unable to find its berth in the fast overcrowding smartphone market. With mega expectations, nokia and microsoft launched Nokia Lumia 920, a finnish flagship phone, in hope to get some breadth from the brutal setbacks from the market. Nokia poured its everything in hardware, but windows was unable to attract many people although as a phone operating system.

Android

Although android has no connection with nokia, but its presence in the market as its rival creates a huge difference. People loves the acute customization in android, its incredible app market, and timely better upgrades. Android has captured almost everything we know as smart interface.

Apps

Windows drastically lacks apps. And most importantly, you have to loose your pockets for even most vital apps, which are even free in apple's app store. When you opens playstore in android, you are flooded with thousands of apps, mostly free

Developer drought

Windows 8 is unable to attract developers to develop wonderful apps, although being so smooth platform, it is unable to find developers.

Conclusion

So, concluding our research and summarizing it, Lumia altogether is undoubtedly wonderful hardware combination, but its software again made nokia to pay its success.
