The words "Coming Soon" flashing on Nokia X2's page is the only thing official at the moment when it comes to the release date of the new budget device.
Nokia X2 is a low-end smartphone that will sell for 99 Euro (approximately $132.58).
The dual sim model will sport a 4.3-inch ClearBlack display with 480 x 800 resolution, 5 MP camera, 1 GB of RAM and will run on 1.2 GHz dual-core Snapdragon 200 processor.
Microsoft's experimental Android program has recently come to an end, and there is no confirmation whether an Android-powered Nokia X2 has also been ditched.
"We will be particularly focused on making the market for Windows Phone. In the near term, we plan to drive Windows Phone volume by targeting the more affordable smartphone segments, which are the fastest growing segments of the market, with Lumia." Executive Vice President of Microsoft's Devices & Services Stephen Elop said in his memo to Microsoft employees.
The memo continued, "In addition to the portfolio already planned, we plan to deliver additional lower-cost Lumia devices by shifting select future Nokia X designs and products to Windows Phone devices. We expect to make this shift immediately while continuing to sell and support existing Nokia X products."
