Nokia divulges its latest addition to its mobile lines - Nokia Lumia 925 - as it aims to fight bottle neck in the market share against Samsung and Apple.

Nokia Vice President in charge for smart devices, Jo Harlow, describes the Lumia 925, saying that it "has a beautiful, gorgeous design, great technology and software and a great Smart Camera for action shots and fun pictures." The SmartCam can snap 10 images in one click.

Market trends show that international sales of mobile phones increase by 0.7 per cent in the first trimester of 2013. The reported increase is attributed to the large amount of demand for mobile phones in the Asia Pacific Region. Sales from this region help mobile companies to recover weak sales from other regions.

Samsung remains ahead of the game with sales increase at 23.6 per cent, followed with Nokia with 14.8 per cent and Apple with 9 per cent. It is to be remembered that Nokia had a 19.7 per cent share in 2012. However, the current percentage in the market share when compared to the same period that of last year, reveals that Nokia decreased by 24 per cent this year.

According to analysis by research company, Gartner, "Nokia's mobile phone share dropped 4.9 percentage points in the first quarter of 2013 mainly due to a steep decline in feature phone sales. Although Nokia's Windows Phone sales have sequentially improved, reaching a volume of 5.1 million units, Nokia is yet to see high growth in the smartphone segment. Nokia's position in the smartphone market dropped to no. 10 in the first quarter of 2013, from no. 8 in the fourth quarter of 2012. "

Gartner said that the decrease in sales for more affordable mobile phones resulted from users opting for the more expensive units for durability. Unlike the buyers' behavior before where they jump opt to buy the latest phone models, buyers now opt to hold on to their mobile units for a long time.
