Nokia Lumia 510 low-end Windows Phone pops up in the wild

Images of a Nokia Lumia 510 have popped up in China if a report by the LiveSide.net is to be believed. This is actually the smartphone that was codenamed ‘Glory’. It will supposedly be a low-end Windows Phone 7.8 phone and will not be upgradable to Windows Phone 8.

According to a user on the Baidu Forums it will have a 4-inch display with a WVGA resolution of 800×480 pixels, a 800MHz single-core processor, 256MB of RAM, and a 5-megapixel camera.
Specs wise it is decidedly low-end and it targets the low-end dominated by Android. It also utilizes the lower-specifications of Windows Phone Tango that we have already seen in the Lumia 610.
Microsoft had reiterated that it will continue to invest in Windows 7.5/7.8 for the low-end market and this could be a device that signals Microsoft/Nokia intent to recapture smartphone market share in this particular segment. At the moment, Nokia only has one Windows Phone device that competes at such low price points, the Lumia 610.
