Microsoft has just announced two new budget Windows Phone
handsets that cost less than $100.
For about $83, consumers can get the Lumia 435. It has a
4-inch LCD display with 800x480 pixel resolution. Under the hood, there’s a
Snapdragon 200 chip with a dual-core processor, 1GB of RAM and 8GB of
expandable storage.
You’ll also be getting a 2MP camera at the back that is
capable of capturing 480p videos at 30fps, a VGA front-facing camera, a 1560mAh
battery, 3G connectivity, A-GPS with GLONASS and two SIM card slots.
Now for an additional $10, users can get a few upgrades with
the Lumia 532. The device comes with a Snapdragon 200 chip with 1.2GHz quad-core
CPU, 1GB of RAM and 8GB of expandable storage (with a 30GB complimentary
OneDrive cloud storage). The rear camera has also been upgraded from 2MP to
5MP.
The rest of the specs are identical to the Lumia 435
including the VGA front-facing camera, the 1560mAh battery and dual SIM
support. Both phones will be available in February in select markets in Europe,
India, the Asia Pacific, Middle East and Africa.
