Microsoft Lumia 540 launched with a 5 inch HD display
Microsoft Lumia 540 has been launched today. The newest device in the Lumia family comes with a 5 inch HD display and 1 GB RAM and is expected to cost under $150 when it becomes available later in May.
The Lumia 540 will be available in May later this year in markets like the Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific. Microsoft is targeting the emerging markets and the price point of under $150 makes sense given this target audience. Even better, it will be upgradable to Windows 10 later this year.
Here are the specs of the Lumia 540:
- Windows Phone 8.1 with Lumia Denim
- 5 inch IPS LCD display, HD resolution, 1280 x 720 pixels, ~294 PPI
- 1.2 GHz quad core Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 processor, Adreno 302 GPU
- 8 MP camera, LED flash, front facing 5 MP camera
- 1 GB RAM, 8 GB internal storage expandable with a microSD card
- Dual SIM, Wi-Fi b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, FM Radio
- 2200 mAh battery
Microsoft has not announced the exact pricing details but we are expecting it to cost under $150 given the market conditions. The Lumia 540 will be available in four colours – cyan, orange, white, and matte black.
