Lumia 620, the latest Windows Phone 8 device from Finnish mobile phone maker Nokia, has received the necessary approvals from the Global Certification Forum.

The smartphone features 1900/1800/900/850 MHz (I) / 1900 (II) / 900 (VIII) / 850 (V) MHz, GSM W-CDMA 2100 connectivity options, and should arrive on shelves in January next year.

Lumia 620 also received the Bluetooth certification last week, after being officially unveiled to the world in the beginning of the month.

Although a Windows Phone 8 device, the new handset will hit shelves as an entry-level smartphone, destined mainly for budget-conscious users in emerging markets.

It sports a 3.8-inch touchscreen, 1GHz processor, 512MB of RAM, 8GB of internal memory, 5-megapixel camera, NFC, Wi-Fi, MicroSD memory card slot, and front-facing camera for making video calls.
