Off late Nokia isn't making the same kind of buzz that it used to make before. However, with the success of Nokia Lumia 520, the company is trying to bring back the past glory.

Even though it would be difficult for Nokia to tab high-end customers with its existing flagship phone, the Lumia 1520, there's still some hope left. Coming this April 2nd, when Nokia will unveil not one but two Windows Phone 8.1 powered handsets might bring the company under brighter spot light.

The Finnish giant Nokia has been rumored to launch two of its most buzzed handsets: the Nokia Lumia 630 (Moneypenny) and the Nokia Lumia 930 (Martini).

Coincidently, on the same day Microsoft chose to announce the new version of Windows Phone 8.1 (codenamed "Blue") at its Build 2014 developer conference in San Francisco.

Microsoft is expected to announce Windows Phone 8.1 in the early morning keynote, whereas Nokia will be taking centre stage later in the day. No word yet on what Night might in store for Windows Phone fans.
