Nokia Lumia 1320 launched in India for INR 23,999; in stores next week

At a press conference in New Delhi today, Nokia India announced the launch of Nokia Lumia 1320. The phone is priced at INR 23,999 and available in four colors - orange, yellow, white, and black. The phones would be available in stores from January 13, 2014.

The phone was unveiled at the Nokia World 2013 in Abu Dhabi a couple of months back along with Nokia Lumia 1520. The two phones are Nokia's first foray into 6-inch displays to stake claim in the growing market for phablets.

While Nokia Lumia 1320 is slightly taller and thicker than the Lumia 1520 and even heavier (220 grams versus 209 grams), they feel pretty much the same in the hand. With rounded corners, Lumia 1320 looks like a bigger sibling of the Nokia Lumia 625, with a better display of course.
