Finnish mobile phone maker Nokia is expected to launch a new affordable device in the near future, namely the previously leaked Lumia 505 handset at Mexico’s Telcel.

The mobile phone was spotted online not too long ago, and is now said to have been included in the carrier’s holiday catalog, with the Windows Phone 7.8 OS loaded on it.

No specific info on when the device would land on shelves has been provided, but we do have an idea of what hardware specs it will pack inside when available.

The phone will feature a 3.7” Super AMOLED display with a 800x480 pixels resolution, 4GB of internal memory, and an 8-megapixel photo snapper on the back.

Furthermore, it is expected to arrive on shelves in three color flavors, namely Black, Red and Magenta. No pricing has been unveiled either, but all should be made official soon.
