Nokia's new budget Windows Phone, the Lumia 525, is now available in Singapore. Nokia announced the pricing for the Nokia Lumia 525 to be $249 Singapore dollars, which translates to roughly Rs. 12,300 (excluding taxes).

The Finnish handset maker revealed the pricing on its Nokia Singapore's Facebook page. The company had unveiled the Lumia 525 globally in November this year, without availability and pricing details.

The major highlight of the Nokia Lumia 525 is that the smartphone features 1GB of RAM, which is twice the 512MB of RAM found on other budget Lumia smartphones (Nokia Lumia 520, Nokia Lumia 620 and Nokia Lumia 625). Other specifications of the Lumia 525 are identical to the Lumia 520.

The Nokia Lumia 525 runs Windows Phone 8 with the Lumia Black update. It features a 4-inch WVGA (480x800) IPS LCD display, translating to a pixel density of 235ppi. The Lumia 525 is powered by a dual-core 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor alongside 1GB of RAM. It comes with 8GB of inbuilt storage, which can be expanded up to 64GB with microSD card.
