Microsoft on Thursday introducted the Lumia 430 Dual SIM, the latest addition to its affordable range of Lumia smartphones and its cheapest yet.
For $70 you’ll get a Dual SIM smartphone with 4-inch WVGA display, 8GB of storage, and 1GB of RAM. This is all powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 processor, and a 1500 mAh battery. It is also the most affordably priced Lumia that will be able to upgrade to Windows 10.
“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.
