Nokia is coming with the Lumia 928 and the rounds of rumors, leaks are flowing in at a constant rate. In the same line a recent video that has surfaced in the US shows the superior camera of the Lumia 928. The result as usual is staggering as compared to the iPhone 5. The photos taken in dark conditions are great and beat the iPhone 5 and Galaxy S3 by miles. But wait a minute! Aren’t these phones more than a year old now? Yes, the galaxy is more than a year old and iPhone is just a few months short of that.
Obviously the comparison does not make sense and if Nokia wants to become significant; it better compete the swelling number of iPhone and Android mobile app developers. Windows phone developers still do not bear a significant identity and that is one of the major factors that have shaped the Smartphone market. Comparing its new flagship to year old Android and iOS phones won’t get much affirmative gestures from mobile app developer. It has been already debated in detail that the apps are driving the market and if you do not have them you don’t have the user base. For example, a popular health and fitness application called Runtastic has many versions in which some are paid while the rest are free. From over a dozen of apps, the Windows store features a single paid version of the application.
The reception of Lumia has been lukewarm till date and if it wants to gain momentum it needs to rope in the likeliness of mobile app developers.
