Lumia 532 debuts with a 5 MP camera and a quad-core CPU.

Alongside the announcement of the Lumia 435, the Lumia 532 is proving that Microsoft is very serious about taking a piece of the entry-level smartphone market. The Lumia 532 is a revamped iteration of the already familiar Lumia 530.

The new smartphone packs a Snapdragon 200 chipset which comes with a quad-core CPU ticking at 1.2 GHz and 1 GB of RAM compared to its predecessor's 512 MB. The Lumia 532 comes with 8 GB of storage which is expandable up to 128 GB with a Micro SD card. As usual, a 30 GB OneDrive cloud storage is included.

The 4-inch display of 800 x 480 pixel resolution provides a stage for the Windows Phone 8.1 with the Lumia Denim update on top. In terms of imaging, the 5 MP main camera has that covered which beats out the 435's 2 MP camera and probably a VGA front shooter. The Lumia 532 comes with a 1,560 mAh battery in an all-plastic battery, weighing a little over the average at 131.8 g.

The device would be available in single and dual SIM in stores across Europe, Asia Pacific, India, Middle East and Africa starting in February. The unsubsidized price is just around $90.
