'I think it (the new phones) is something with which we can beat competition...Its a colourful, more bold Nokia, more innovative,' Nokia India Director and Head (Smartphone Devices) Vipul Mehrotra told reporters here.

Nokia is also working with partners across the board to take the Lumia experience to add more consumers faster.

'With a range of accessories and partnerships to bring wireless charging outside the home, we are also kickstarting wireless charging into the mainstream. All this innovation adds up to one thing - it's Time to Switch,' Mehrotra said.

According to CyberMedia Research, during January-June 2012, India's total shipments of handsets stood at 102.43 million units, of which 5.50 million units were smartphones.

While Nokia was a leader in the overall market with 22.2 per cent share, in the smartphone category Samsung beat the Finnish player with 41.6 per cent share. Nokia's share in the smartphone category during the reported period was 19.2 per cent.
