According to multiple sources, Nokia has struck a deal with China Mobile to offer the Lumia 920 in the nation.
China Mobile is China's biggest carrier, with over 700 million subscribers and 80 million 3G smartphone users.
A model of the phone will be built with China's TD-SCDMA technology and will be available before the new year.
Android is the overwhelmingly popular platform in China, with over 90 percent of smartphone owners using Android devices. iPhones are not available through China Mobile due to the specialized CDMA tech, making the phone a small player in the nation.
The Lumia 920 is the company's new flagship Windows Phone 8 phone, featuring Nokia's suite of apps and more powerful hardware.
