Nokia’s phablet now in SA

Nokia has announced that the Lumia 1320 with a 6″ screen will be available in South Africa in May. The phone offers users smart camera features, streaming music and Nokia Here Maps.

The Nokia Lumia 1320 with a 6″ screen has arrived in South Africa. The phone features great imaging experiences – like Nokia Camera and Nokia Storyteller – combine with Here Drive and the streaming of ad-free music on Nokia MixRadio.

Like the Lumia 520, we believe the 1320 has a brilliant combination of hardware features and software experiences at a good price. There is a definitely movement in the market towards larger screened smartphones, and the Windows Phone user interface really looks great with the extra screen real estate,” says Shaun Durandt, General Manager of Nokia South Africa.

The Nokia Lumia 1320 enables people to take advantage of Nokia’s rich and powerful imaging experiences to have more fun with pictures. The camera integrates the most popular imaging modes – Pro, Smart, and video – into one experience. Nokia Storyteller makes stories come to life by automatically integrating images with Here location information into a chronological picture journey on a map. Creative Studio allows editing pictures easily into photo collages.

With the latest apps, as well as great Xbox games, a wealth of content can be enjoyed on the 1320. The device also features a number of high-end Lumia exclusive experiences, including streaming unlimited music for free with Nokia MixRadio.

Nokia Lumia 1320 will be available from May on contracts starting at R199 per month on all major operators, with an estimated up-front cash price of R4 499.
