Nokia has always enjoyed success in emerging markets, thanks to its budget-friendly phone offerings. That’s not going to change now that the company has decided to partner up with Microsoft, either. A new low-end Nokia has been spotted in the wild: the Lumia 510, which is reportedly due to go on sale in China before the end of the year and in additional markets early next year.
The Lumia 510 offers modest hardware, starting with an 800MHz Qualcomm processor. It’ll have just 256MB of RAM and 4GB of internal storage — which users will hopefully be able to supplement with a micro SD expansion card. There’s a 5 megapixel camera (without an LED flash) on the rear, while a 4-inch LCD display adorns the cam-free front.
Nokia is also loading the Lumia 510 with Windows Phone 7.8 instead of Windows Phone 8, which further underscores its position as an entry-level device. It’s also not as slim as its Lumia cousins, as you can see in the shaky, out-of-focus YouTube video posted by a second leaker.
