Boy, what a day it has been for Nokia as they announced three new smartphones that are sure to resonate with the respective target markets, where these handsets would be the Nokia Lumia 630, Lumia 635 and the Lumia 930. Of course, what is the point of introducing new smartphones when there are no accessories to go along with it? Having said that, Nokia has also rolled out the Nokia MD-12 Bluetooth Mini Speaker which will certainly deliver an audio performance that punches above its weight, so to speak.

<--more-->While the Nokia MD-12 Bluetooth Mini Speaker might share the same dimensions as that of a regular apple, tipping the scales at 180 grams, it is no lightweight when it comes to audio performance. The presence of a built-in vibrating actuator that is located on the base would allow it to create heavy bass whenever you place it on most surfaces, although it would favor hard ones the most. Hence, you might want to experiment with a variety of surfaces before deciding which one suits your music playlist best.

When fully charged, the internal battery would be able to go on and on for a good 15 hours, making it more than enough to turn your room outside down the next time you invite your mates over for an intimate party. The Nokia MD-12 would also feature NFC and Bluetooth connectivity options to keep up with the times, and it retails for a highly affordable €39 as it arrives in distinctive shades of yellow, green, orange and white.
