The smartphone comes with single-SIM support

Microsoft continues to launch mid-range and budget friendly Windows Phones, and fans of the Redmond-based company shouldn't expect another flagship smartphone until later this fall.

However, there's a need for cheap mid-range Windows Phone handsets as well, which is why Microsoft won't stop releasing them until the next version of the operating system comes out.

In this regard, a new Lumia smartphone with 4.7-inch capacitive touchcreen display has been recently spotted in Zauba records, a new report confirms.

Unfortunately, apart from the fact that it packs a medium-sized display and that it only features single-SIM support, there are no other details on the smartphone's specs.

We do know that the unannounced Lumia smartphone is referred to as RM-1127, but only for internal testing. This means that it will be launched under a different name when Microsoft decides it's time to make it official.

It might be announced in the next couple of weeks

The smartphone is en-route to India and the value of the device is Rs 4,578, which is about $70 or €64. The low value of the Lumia RM-1127 indicates that this is in fact another budget-friendly smartphone, so we shouldn't expect any fancy features to be included in the handset.

Even though the unannounced Lumia smartphone will be tested in India, it's rather unusual that it doesn't offer dual-SIM support since this is a mandatory feature in this country.

There may be more than one version of this Lumia handset on the way, and one of them might provide dual-SIM support.

As for the time of its release, since it has already been spotted in Zauba records, it shouldn't take more than several weeks until Lumia RM-1127, or whatever its name, is launched on the market.

We will keep an eye out for any additional details on Microsoft's upcoming lineup of Lumia smartphones, so stay tuned for more on this one.
