Microsoft Lumia 532 Specs and Photos
The Lumia 532 and Lumia 532 Dual-SIM will be available in February as well in the aforementioned regions in Lumia's classic color scheme for $93 (about Rs. 5800 or EUR 79).
Microsoft is looking for a home-run in the budget segment with these new offerings which the company feels will be a replacement of the still popular Lumia 520. Although Windows Phone has grown as a OS but it still lacks the exposure and ease of use offered by Android and iOS. But if more people start using Windows Phone's then that might change rapidly.
