Nokia working on lower end Windows Phones to better compete with Android
Nokia CEO spoke about his long term confidence in the Windows Phone platform during a call with investors, and blamed the company’s weak sales on the sellers. “The challenge in all of this is breaking through the strength Android and Apple have in a retail environment,” he said. The executive noted, however, that Nokia needs to “compete with Android aggressively,” and pointed to the lower-end smartphone market. “The low-end price point war is an important part of that,” he said, adding that Nokia plans to offer Windows Phones at lower prices.
