Microsoft Lumia 540: Dual SIM Smartphone With 5-Inch HD Display

Microsoft Mobile has upgraded its flagship- Lumia series by launching new dual SIM smartphone called ‘Lumia 540’. Like Samsung's Galaxy portfolio, the company is moving further up the ladder by launching the smartphones in different categories. With similar looks, colour options and unusual naming, the Lumia handsets are pretty confusing to describe sometimes. Lumia 540 will be available in the IMEA and APAC regions including Italy from early next month with a price-tag of $149 (approx. Rs 9300). The colour options include cyan, orange, white and matte black.

    It looks like a really nice device. I wish they had more apps and games available. Will it receive Windows Phone 10 update?
