Following the launch of Lumia 920 and mid-range Lumia 820, Consolidated Gulf Co (CGC), the distributor for Nokia mobile phones in Qatar, has announced the local availability of Nokia Lumia 620 at a price of QR899.
The Nokia Lumia 620 uses a new dual-shot colour technique to deliver a variety of striking colour and texture effects. Dual-shot adds a second layer of coloured, transparent or translucent polycarbonate on top of a base layer to produce secondary colour blends and depth effects. With seven exchangeable shells to choose from, people can adapt the look of their Nokia Lumia 620 to their own personal taste and style.
“We continue to execute on our strategy to reach new audiences and new markets by expanding our smartphone offering,” said Tom Farrell, Vice President, Nokia Middle East. “With its innovative design, the latest Nokia Lumia 620 with Windows Phone 8 software and signature experiences from Nokia, like Nokia lenses, Nokia Maps, City Lens and Nokia Music, the Nokia Lumia 620 is a highly competitive smartphone at a very affordable price point.”

Now consumers have more options to choose from the level of innovation and the type of experience they want.”
