Microsoft's Lumia 535 has shed the Nokia name.

It's a budget-friendly smartphone with a 5-inch display featuring Corning’s super-durable Gorilla Glass, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage (expandable to up to 136GB with a microSD card) and a 1.2GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor.

The Lumia 535 sports two 5MP cameras, one on the front with a wide-angle lens and one on the back. It comes in green, orange, white, gray, blue and black; Microsoft is also offering a dual-SIM version.

On the software side, the Lumia 535 runs Windows Phone and includes Cortana, Microsoft’s answer to Google Now and Apple’s Siri. The device will come pre-loaded with the Microsoft Office suite and OneDrive, which offers 15GB of free online storage.

The Microsoft Lumia 535 will be available in “key markets” in November and will retail for around 110 euros, or about $137. According to Engadget, those markets include China, Russia and India, but not the U.S.
