Neowin reports that Microsoft has announced that its new ultra-low-cost Windows Phone 8.1 device, the Lumia 530, is heading to the UK's leading carriers and retailers in a couple of weeks, priced from as little as £60

A few weeks ago, Microsoft unveiled its most affordable Windows Phone ever, with the launch of the Lumia 530. The device slots in below the recently launched 630 in its range, and replaces the Lumia 520, which was announced almost a year and a half ago.

Earlier this month, the Lumia 530 went on sale in its first market, Vietnam, before also launching in India last week. Today, Microsoft announced that the low-cost Windows Phone 8.1 device is headed to the United Kingdom too, in a couple of weeks' time.
