Nokia Pakistan’s “BiggerIsBetter” event – photos and hands-on Lumia 1520, Lumia 1320

“BiggerIsBetter” event by Nokia Pakistan was went pretty good in Karachi yesterday. As it was expected the event covered the two phablets from Nokia the high-end Lumia 1520 and the mid-range Lumia 1320 as well as what was not being expected, was the official launch of the TV reality show “Kuch Kar Dikha“. What we missed was the tablet Nokia Lumia 2520, believing it would be launched later someday if it could.

The event was kicked off when Dana Adnani (full name Dana Adnani Al Mubaidin) – Head of Communications, Nokia North Africa, Near East & Levant – took the stage and greeted in Urdu (national language) as well as of course English. Arif Shafique – Country General Manager Pakistan & Afghanistan – briefed about the expected launches just before when Patrick Mercanton – Head of Marketing North Africa & Levant – did the actual job while making ground with the introduction to the term “phablet”. Well most of them out there would have knowledge of what he was talking about but that was when he announced about the Lumia 1320 and Lumia 1520 in Pakistan.

In the display zone, we got chance to get our hands on the said devices. You can also checkout the photos below.

3 months back, Nokia Pakistan initiated a Facebook competition named, ‘Kuch Kar Dikha’ to select a lucky member (facebook fan) and send on a tour within Pakistan. Aqeel Malik, a 20 years old guy from Lahore turned out to be that one amongst a million fans of Nokia Pakistan on facebook.
