A. The Finnish phonemaker also lowered the entry point of its Lumia smartphones with a new model, the Lumia 520, priced at 139 euros.
Most other Lumia phones cost over $200, and the top-of-the-range 920 can retail at over $600 without a carrier contract in the United States and some European markets.
The 920 model was launched last November and has won plaudits from industry analysts for features such as photography and mapping. Sales, however, have been dwarfed by devices from the likes of Samsung 00530.KS running Google's (GOOG.O) Android and Apple's (AAPL.O) iPhone.
Nokia's market share in smartphones has fallen to around 5 percent, while Apple and Samsung together control over half the market.
A new lower entry point for the Lumia 520 would enable Nokia to better compete with some mid-tier Android devices, analysts said.
