Microsoft has announced a new budget smartphone for the developing markets. The new Lumia 540 Dual-SIM is the successor to the budget Lumia 530 and offers several high-end features at an attractive price.
The front of the phone adorns a 5″ display with an impressive-for-price 720p resolution. Above it is a 5 megapixel wide-angle lens selfie-shooter. The phone supports Dual SIM connectivity and is available in 5 colours, but is not the most svelte at 9.35 mm thick.
Under the hood, you get a 1.2 Ghz quad-core Snapdragon 200 processor with 1 GB RAM and 8 GB internal storage. The back sports an 8 megapixel camera with 480p video (that’s right) and LED Flash. Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and 3G.
Arguably the most alluring aspect is the OS side. The phone runs on Windows Phone 8.1, which will be upgraded to Windows 10. As a part of the deal, you get the complete Office Suite and 15 GB worth OneDrive storage.
The Lumia 540 Dual SIM will be available for a very tempting $149. It will be available this May.
