Microsoft has announced a new addition to its affordable Windows Phone lineup — the Lumia 540 packed with a five-inch display and Dual-SIM capabilities.
Measuring only 9.52mm thick and weighs at 152 grams, the Lumia 540 also offers an eight-megapixel rear and a five-megapixel wide-angle camera for selfies. It’s powered with the entry-level Qualcomm Snapdragon 200, and has a gigabyte of RAM in tow. It will be shipped with Windows Phone 8.1, but we can assure that this phone is Windows 10-ready.
Along with the new device, Microsoft will also give out an additional free 15GB of OneDrive Storage and another 15GB when you activate the auto-upload photo feature in the settings.
