Microsoft is bringing in a follow-up to the Lumia 1320 and the company calls it the Lumia 1330. As expected, it is also coming with several variants all addressed as Lumia 1335 but with minor changes integrated. According to reports, the devices are headed to Indonesia first and it is only a matter of time before they get there. Microsoft Indonesia teased on its Facebook account that the forthcoming devices are "coming soon."

Nokia Power User recently got a hold of a document indicating that the models of the budget-friendly smartphone will come in three hues, specifically orange, white and cyan. It also shows that FCC has cleared and certified the handset's variants with model number RM-1065 and RM-1064. The former is designed with LTE and dual SIM support while the latter can only prop up a single SIM card. There is also one bearing the model number RM-1062. This one will not come with 4G LTE connectivity. This is reportedly coming to India for testing. Phone Arena added that an RM-1067 variant will serve as the handset's 3G counterpart. 

Rumor mills indicate that the new pair of handsets from the tech firm will be slightly smaller than their predecessor, the Lumia 1520. The former will allegedly come in 5.7-inch display with 720p resolution while the latter sports a mammoth 6-inch screen.  

Being mid-range smartphones, the Lumia 1330 and its variants will be powered up with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor along with 1 GB of RAM and 32 GB storage capacity. With its memory comparatively larger than its kin, the future handset may not come with a microSD card slot. The Lumia 1330 is also expected to feature a 14-megapixel rear-facing camera and a 5-megapixel front unit. 

Microsoft is expected to take the covers off the Lumia 1330 and the Lumia 1335 during the Mobile World Congress on March 2.
