Nokia has released its most recent financial results for Q2 2013. July 18, 2013 3:05 AM PDT Nokia boss Stephen Elop enjoys the launch of the Nokia Lumia 1020. (Credit: Sarah Tew / CNET) Nokia sold 7.4 million Lumia phones in the second quarter of 2013. Sales of the Windows Phone devices climbed by a third, although the total number of Nokia phones sold declined. Here, the part of Nokia working on maps and transport apps, showed a small profit rather than the expected loss. Nokia posted both a loss and a decline in overall revenue in the first three months of the year. In North America, revenue grew slightly despite the fact Nokia sold less devices than the first quarter of 2012. This time last year the Finnish company posted a $1.7B billion loss, though Lumia sales jumped. Last week a smiling Stephen Elop unveiled the Lumia 1020, a 41-megapixel powerhouse of a camera phone that goes on sale on 26 July. Elop no doubt hopes the new phone will help keep him smiling when Nokia's accountants tally up this quarter's results. Nokia's next financial results are due on 17 October.
