The New Lumia 430 Is Microsoft's Most Affordable Smartphone
Back in January, I reported that Microsoft introduced the Lumia 435, touting the fact that it is the most affordable Lumia phone to date.
Well, forget about the 435, because a new phone is now Microsoft’s most affordable Lumia: the new Lumia 430 Dual SIM.
The Lumia 430 Dual SIM, the latest addition to Microsoft’s range of Lumia smartphones, takes the crown as Microsoft’s most affordable Lumia phone.
Priced at $70, it is even cheaper than the Lumia 435. Don’t think that you’re getting less performance just because the price is lower. The two phones are pretty much the same. Both have a 1.2Ghz dual-core processor and 1GB of RAM, both have a 2MP main camera, both have a 4-inch display, both have 8GB of storage space.

“People around the world have responded enthusiastically to our affordable Lumia range. We continue to invest in this segment to ensure that as many people as possible can enjoy signature Microsoft experiences, regardless of budget,” said Jo Harlow, corporate vice president for Phones at Microsoft. “The Lumia 430 Dual SIM continues our commitment to combining the right hardware, software, services and apps with the right price to give people a smartphone they can afford and be proud to use.”
