Nokia Lumia 920 Successor Will Use Aluminum Materials

Leaving only one flagship smartphone, the Lumia 920 in the current market, it makes sense if Nokia was mentioned was preparing a Windows mobile phone for the year 2013. If there is a remarkable smartphone that Nokia will release in this year, it is the material that will be used.

Yup, as reported by the website The Verge which obtained from an anonymous source close to the information, mentioned that Nokia plans to use aluminum material for at least one of its flagship Lumia Windows Phone to be launched this year.

The smartphones were originally going to be a successor to the Lumia 920, is said to have the codename as Nokia Catwalk, as well is believe will embed an equivalent hardware specifications.

The decision of Nokia's switch to using aluminum material assessed will make the device much lighter and thinner than its predecessor, the Lumia 920. Thus allowing the Finnish vendor to compete with the Apple iPhone, in terms of both size and weight, where it can’t be done through the Lumia 920, which wrapped with a polycarbonate material.

Defeat Nokia, Samsung ‘Rule’ the Global Mobile Phone Market

As quoted via TechRadar, globally in 2012, Samsung managed to achieve 29% market share of the mobile device, an increase than the previous year which only have 24%.

From the statistical data issued by research firm IHS iSuppli, Nokia which in 2011 managed to earn 30% market share, this year experienced a 24% decline.

Apple managed to achieve 10% market share globally, successfully pushed to third position. Interestingly, unlike other manufacturers who deliver devices with diverse segments, Apple is only present in the upper middle class through his iPhone only.

In consecutive years, ZTE and LG, respectively fourth and fifth position, which stood at market share 6% for ZTE and 4% for LG.

For the overall, global smartphone shipments are expected to rise about 35.5% this year. Smartphones also managed to obtain 47% of all mobile devices shipped this year, up from the previous year which only reached 35%.

With the enormous growth this year, I wonder if many analysts who argue that the year 2012 is the year of smartphones.
