The Microsoft Nokia 130 is a new feature phone that was officially announced last month. The phone is aimed at emerging markets and also for those who want an affordable backup handset. Now the Nokia 130 Dual SIM release for India has arrived and we have the price and more details coming right up.

When the phone was introduced it showed up almost immediately on the Nokia India website, so we hoped it wouldn’t be too long before it arrived for sale. It’s taken a little longer than anticipated but the day is finally here, and the official price at the Nokia Shop is an exceptionally low Rs. 1,848 while at Snapdeal it’s even lower at just Rs. 1,750.

The phone has a video and music player and Nokia 130 Dual SIM specs include a 1.8-inch TFT display with resolution of 160 x 128, FM Radio, and Bluetooth 3.0 with SLAM. There’s a microSD card for up to 32GB, a 1020 mAh battery, built-in flashlight, and it supports 2G, but there’s no Internet browser or cameras.

The Nokia 130 runs on the Series 30+ operating system and color options are black, red or white.

While the specs of the phone may be nothing to write home about, there will be plenty of potential buyers who will appreciate the low cost of this phone.
