Microsoft prepares for Lumia 540 launch today

We already know that the Microsoft Lumia 540 dual SIM smartphone will be arriving in India sometime this month and the company has now confirmed the launch date as May 14 which is tomorrow. The announcement will take place at an event where the press has been called to welcome the newest member of the Lumia family.

A small portion of the phone is also visible in the invite. However, we don’t expect to see the Microsoft Lumia 540 dual SIM handset to go on sale at once. And it doesn’t look like the company has teamed up with any ecommerce website for an exclusive partnership or we would have been seen teasers popup by now.

The Microsoft phone was originally launched back in April and it’s the successor to the Lumia 530. It continues to cater to the entry-level category and will also be an affordable option. There’s no price as yet for India, but we expect the handset to sell for around Rs 10000 considering that its retail tag was previously revealed as $150 (sans taxes).
