Unlike its predecessor, the Lumia 540 is equipped with a 720p display, but otherwise has internal specifications similar to earlier devices in the Lumia 5xx series.[4] It comes pre-installed with Windows Phone 8.1 Update 2 (with Lumia Denim firmware), and is upgradable to Windows 10 Mobile.[5]

Due to its position as a low-cost device, the Lumia 540 is only available in Italy, India, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia.
