Microsoft to unveil first Lumia without Nokia logo

[Bambino]

From the article, it appears to be a low end phone. Probably aimed for a stocking filler.

Good spec though.
I also assume it will be running 8.1 too

A nice looking addition.

Thank you for sharing the link and story.

Price and memory capacities available are going to be key for it I would assume.

I wonder how much they mean by budget smartphone? Their idea of budget may not be mine...:smileywink:

Oh @Bambino  In my day a 'stocking filler' meant two oranges, an apple, some nuts and two shillings....

and if I was very lucky...a set of hankies...

Sub £100 and if they want to make a huge impact around £60 will do it.....

Yep. Microsoft owns the brand now.

The current low end Nokia-Microsoft phone is the Lumia 530. Retails at £60 and above on PAYG.

Hopefully new phone wil replace the 530. As the 530 has notable deficiencies. (no front camera, no flash, poor battery). But to be honest for £60 I would not grumble about the 530.
