14 DAY TRIAL // Finnish mobile phone maker Nokia might be set to bring the Lumia 620 – its third Windows Phone 8-based smartphone – to the market in the UK as soon as next month, recent reports suggest.
The handset was made official in December last year as the cheapest Windows Phone 8 Lumia device, and it has since been confirmed for various markets around the world.
In the UK, however, users haven’t had the chance to grab the smartphone as of yet, but TechRadar notes that this might change before the end of this month.
Online retailer Expansys is getting ready for the phone’s launch, and it has already confirmed that it would have it in stock next week, it seems. The Black flavor of the phone will land first, while the White version might arrive in February.
“We've had news from our official Nokia supplier that the Lumia 620 is expected on Thursday 31 Jan.” the retailer reportedly said recently.
No official word from Nokia has been heard on the matter, yet all might be unveiled in the coming days should the info coming from this retailer pan out.
For those out of the loop, we should note that Nokia Lumia 620 was made official with a 3.8-inch touchscreen display on the front, and with a 1GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor packed inside.
Furthermore, the handset sports 512MB of RAM, along with 8GB of internal memory and a microSD memory card slot to expand it.
On the back, it features a 5-megapixel photo snapper, complemented by a front camera for making video calls. The phone is powered by a Li-Ion 1300 mAh battery.
The specs list of Lumia 620 also includes NFC, Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 3.0, GPS receiver, support for GSM: 850-900-1800-1900 / HSDPA 850-900-1900-2100 connectivity, Accelerometer, Proximity sensor and Compass.
The Windows Phone 8 device is currently listed at Expansys as available for pre-order with a price tag of £229.99 ($364 / €273) attached to it.
