14 DAY TRIAL // Android phones are already famous for their ridiculous price tags, but Windows Phone handsets are also catching up. Let me prove it to you.
South African company Pinnacle Africa has just introduced a new smartphone running the operating system which will be offered in a country with a ridiculously low price of $87 / €73 starting January 30 (as seen at My Broad Band).
Naturally, we’re dealing with a low-range phone here, one which is pretty comparable to the recently unveiled Lumia 435 and Lumia 532.
The Proline SP4 arrives in the wild with a 4-inch display with 480 x 800 pixels resolution and an unnamed quad-core Snapdragon chipset fitted with Adreno 302 GPU and 512MB of RAM and 4GB of internal storage (expandable via 64GB via microSD).
However, the Lumia 435 takes advantage of a dual-core processor but both of Microsoft's phones have 1GB of RAM and double the internal memory (microSD card can accommodate up to 128GB).
Coming back to the Proline SP4, the handset takes advantage of 4MP camera on the back and there’s a VGA unit residing up front. The Proline SP4 is a dual-SIM device living off a 1,920 mAh battery.
It measures 125 x 64 x 10.6 mm / and weighs 125 g. The smartphone runs Windows Phone 8.1 out of the box.
The Proline SP4 is also available on the international market as the Blu Win JR.
