A great innovation or just funny colourful handsets
Nokia’s Lumia series was a little bit weird when it started production. When the first models came out, they looked more like toys than actual smartphones, with their colourful exterior, yet simplistic and comfortable, with Windows Phone’s metro interface. They are probably the main Windows Phone competitors on the smartphone market, especially after Nokia made the deal with Microsoft, and are yet to become more popular, due to their strange concept.
A colourful plastic exterior is what people usually expect from things aimed at children, but nevertheless, Nokia’s Lumia handsets come in a variety of bright colours, which is confusing for people who have gotten used to most of the Android or Apple handsets that come in not more than one or two colours.

These bright colours are what people say completely removes the premium look from any Lumia phone. You can always choose a darker colour, if it is available, though. Still, the overall design is simplistic, and most phones from the series are comfortable to hold. And since Nokia have learned their lesson, some of the new models like the Lumia 925 have a much more premium build and metal elements on the casing itself.
Like most of the smartphones on the market, the Nokia Lumia smartphones can come with a variety of chipsets, but since Windows Phone 8 is not a very light operating system, a faster chipset may still have trouble handling it properly. Still most of the series performs fine, and the high-end models run smoothly and without any glitches. They might need some getting used to if you are switching to this operating system from an Android or Apple device, since the Metro interface is unlike anything we have ever seen before on a mobile device. Thankfully, Nokia have optimized the entire device to work perfectly with Windows Phone, so it is a great experience, overall.
This series might have seemed a little bit weird at first, something like Nokia’s attempt to re-establish their brand after their downfall, but right now it seems that Lumia’s popularity is growing. Hopefully, Nokia will release the newer Lumia phones with a more premium design, but what we hope for most, is that Microsoft will not let us down with their new OS and work on enhancing the user experience even more from now on
