Nokia MD-12— Portable Speaker with NFC

Along with the release of Nokia Lumia 630/635 and Lumia 930, Nokia has also announced an interesting mobile accessory, the portable speaker with NFC. The Nokia MD-12 is a new accessory for Lumia smartphones with NFC and Bluetooth. It can pair with your smartphones and allows you to play music. With a built-in vibrating actuator located on the base, low frequencies are created when placed on most surfaces, especially hard ones, delivering a surprising amount of bass for such a compact speaker- in fact, it’s rather fun experimenting with different surfaces.

Pairing your phone with the MD-12 is simple; just tap your NFC-enabled device on the speaker to instantly pair. Alternatively, connect via Bluetooth. With the new Nokia Device Hub app, you can easily manage your speaker and other connected accessories. The speaker offers 15 hours of playback which should be good enough for small parties or on the move.

If your phone does not have these wireless options, you can still connect with the 3.5mm jack available on the speaker. Costing just €39 (approximately Rs 3300), and continuing Nokia’s bright new colour language for 2014, the MD-12 comes in the same distinctive colours of yellow, green, orange and white.
