Relationship to the Lumia 510

The Lumia 505 is a market-exclusive sister device to the globally released Lumia 510 and shares a number of specifications with it, including utilizing the same 800 MHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and having only 256 MB of RAM and 4 GB internal flash memory. The Lumia 505, however, has a slightly different design, with a smaller 3.7-inch AMOLED screen (versus a 4.4-inch LCD screen on the Lumia 510), shorter battery life of 7.2 hours (versus 8.3 hours) and higher resolution 8-megapixel camera (versus 5 megapixels).[7] [8] The Lumia 505 is also available in a different set of colors from the Lumia 510, namely black, white, red, cyan and yellow.

Availability

The phone was originally released for sale exclusively through Telcel in Mexico in the beginning of 2013 as a carrier exclusive for MXN $3,499 without a contract.[9] In late January 2013, it was announced that the phone would also become available in Colombia, Chile and Peru on Claro Americas becoming market exclusive to Latin America.[10] [11]
