14 DAY TRIAL // Over the past several weeks, we’ve seen the first Windows Phone 8.1 smartphones out there arriving on various markets in Europe, and some more info on the availability of two of them in Finland and Hungary is now available.
Apparently, Nokia has just provided details on the availability of Nokia Lumia 635 on its homeland market. Users living in Finland interested in the purchase of this handset can already pre-order it today, while expecting it to arrive at their doorsteps starting July 10.
The handset features a price tag of €190 ($260) in this country, which is a bit high when compared to what it would cost on other markets out there.
The mobile phone, made official in April, comes to shelves with the same hardware specs as the Nokia Lumia 630, to which it adds support for 4G LTE networks.
The handset was made official with a 4.5-inch touchscreen, a 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 400 CPU, 512MB of RAM, 8GB of internal memory, and a microSD memory card slot (up to 128GB). Moreover, it features a 5-megapixel rear camera with 720p video recording.
The smartphone is only now arriving on shelves around the world, with T-Mobile in the United States set to receive it as soon as the next week. Apparently, the same carrier will launch it in Hungary too very soon.
In fact, the wireless operator has already added the smartphone to its online portal in this country, with a price tag of 51,000 HUF ($220/€161) attached to it, contract-free.
No specific info on when the phone will become available for purchase has been provided as of now, but it appears that users might not have to wait too long before being able to grab it.
Moreover, the smartphone is accompanied by the Nokia Lumia 930 at this mobile phone carrier in Hungary. The handset has been already added to T-Mobile’s website, priced at 151,000 HUF ($660/€484), also SIM-free.
Unfortunately, no info on the shipping date of this flagship Windows Phone 8.1 device has been unveiled either, as WPCentral notes.
The same as Lumia 635 (and Lumia 630, for that matter), the Nokia Lumia 930 was made official in early April, but it is arriving on the market only now.
It was revealed to feature a 5-inch full HD screen, a 2.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of internal memory, and a 20-megapixel camera on the back, with full HD video recording capabilities.
