The company unveiled new its new flagship phone -- the Lumia 920 -- which supports wireless charging and Nokia's PureView 41MP camera.
Last year around this time, Nokia announced its two Windows Phone devices -- the Lumia 710 and Lumia 800 -- during Nokia World in London. The devices were the first phones to run Windows Phone 7, and the first phones to result out of Nokia’s partnership with Microsoft.
However, this isn't the first Windows 8 device to hit the scene. Samsung last week announced its Windows Phone 8 during the 2012 IFA conference in Berlin, deflecting some of the attention away from Nokia.
But Nokia has a tall order to live up to -- in fact, its Lumia 900 device was dubbed one of the best Windows phones to ever hit the market.
Earlier this year, Microsoft announced plans to grow its Windows Phone operating system. Windows Phone 8 is reworked from the ground up and is compatible with Windows 8 itself.
