The ever-increasing demand for the entry-level handsets has made Microsoft stick to the success formula and now the company is gearing up to release a slew of such Lumia handsets. One such device is the Microsoft Lumia 532, the worthy successor of the Lumia 530.

As far as the Lumia 532 specifications go, the handset will reportedly feature a modest 4.0-inch WVGA LCD display, bundled with 800 x 480 pixels screen resolution. Similar to other Lumia devices, this handset will also come with a plastic/polycarbonate body and hence, the weight of the device is only 131.8 g.
