Nokia phone series

Nokia's strategic nomenclature can be traced back in 2005 when the Nseries line was launched, offering devices with flagship specifications and premium hardware at various price points. These devices were considered the "bread and butter" of the company and were often positioned to showcase their latest technologies. Thanks to the newfound consumer and enterprise interest in smartphones at the time, the company introduced four additional collections to diversify their product portfolio and meet demands in most market segments. These new phone series were named Eseries, targeting small business and enterprise customers; Xseries, providing consumer-grade multimedia-focused devices; Cseries, which Nokia used to target both the low-end and mid-range market segments; and Tseries, for devices exclusive to the Chinese market.
Nokia Nseries was a multimedia smartphone and tablet product family that served as the company's flagship portfolio. It was aimed at users looking to pack as many features as possible into one device.
The Nokia Eseries (stands for Executive) consists of business-oriented smartphones, with emphasis on enhanced connectivity and support for corporate e-mail push services. These phones are for the enterprise market.

Nokia Xseries (stands for Xpress) is more for younger users. Most of the phones included in the line are feature phones and smartphones that include features focusing social entertainment and music with special dedicated keys, inbuilt storage and other facilities. It succeeded the Nokia XpressMusic brand of phones.

Nokia Tseries (stands for Time) is a China-specific line of phones, made to cater services offered in China where most technologies and Web features are disabled or replaced by the country's proprietary inventions. For instance, most of the phones offered in this series would include the TD-SCDMA and EV-DO networks which are dominant in that marketplace. The line was launched on 13 June 2011 in the Chinese version of the Nokia Conversations blog.

The Nokia Lseries (stands for Lumia, which means light) is a series of smartphones, originally made by Nokia and using the Windows Phone operating system, and officially unveiled at Nokia World 2011. This was created through an exclusive partnership in February of that year, that will allow Nokia to use and modify Microsoft's mobile operating system. These devices come with a host of Nokia-exclusive services.
Microsoft purchased Nokia's Devices and Services division in April 2014, and since then the Lumia series has been manufactured exclusively by Microsoft's subsidiary Microsoft Mobile, initially retaining Nokia branding but later dropped in favor of that of Microsoft.
The first generation of phones in the series include the Nokia Lumia 510, Nokia Lumia 610, Nokia Lumia 710, Nokia Lumia 800, and Nokia Lumia 900, all of which run Windows Phone 7. Subsequent generations use Windows Phone 8 or Windows Phone 8.1. A full list of devices can be found at Microsoft Lumia#List of Lumia devices.
