Nokia Lumia and Nokia Asha range of phones are popular at the moment. Lumia phones run on the Windows 7 and Windows 8 operating systems whereas Asha series phones run on Symbian operating system. Nokia Lumia and Nokia Asha series handsets have all the features of smartphones.
However, the Lumia series is more sophisticated in terms of looks and features. Phones in the Lumia series are capable of competing with their counterparts, Android phones and iPhones. This is the main reason why the Lumia series phones are generally preferred over Asha range.
