However, the tech giant reportedly has about 30 partners/manufacturers that build Windows Phone based handsets and one such major company is K-Touch. This company has launched two brand new devices dubbed the "K-Touch 5705A" and "K-Touch 5703A."

Out of the two slots, the first SIM slot houses a micro-SIM, while the other employs the relatively bigger mini-SIM card. In addition, the handset supports 3G connectivity.

The inexpensive K-Touch 5703A is reportedly similar to the Nokia Lumia 630 with a 4.5-inch IPS LCD display and 480 x 854 pixels resolution. This translates to a pixel density of 221 ppi. Moreover, this handset reportedly comes with the famous ClearBlack technology. Under the hood, the K-Touch 5703A is powered by the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 chipset, seen in the mid-range variant.
