Other specs on this Windows Phone 8 device include a 4-inch IPS LCD WVGA (800 x 480 pixels) display, 8GB storage (upgradable via MicroSD), 5 mega-pixel camera and 1430 mAh battery.
According to the source article, the Lumia 526 also comes with 7GB of free SkyDrive storage and a Nokia BH-121 Bluetooth Stereo Headphone.
