Release

edit

It is set to cost €220 or £200 in Europe. $300–$350 CAD [5][6] It was released in China, Europe, Asia Pacific, India, Middle East, Africa and Latin America initially, starting September.[7]

Specifications/features

edit

It features:[8]

  • Support for up to 128 GB external memory via microSD card
  • Choice of colors - black, white plus translucent shades of orange, green, yellow
  • Signature Camera Apps - Smart Cam, Cinemagraph and Panorama
  • FM Radio

It has one of the lowest pixel densities seen in recent smartphones, as it uses the standard Windows Phone 8 resolution (800×480) but using a large display.[9] So the screen will not appear super-sharp.[10]

The 512 MB RAM according to some reviewers prevents one from playing high-end games and sometimes mar the multi-tasking experience for power users.[11]
