Microsoft launches Lumia 430 with 70 dollars

Microsoft has just given us a new lesson in the market for entry-level smartphones. Forget the high-end models and hundreds of dollars they claim, the Lumia 430 is here, and the boy is not expensive. It is priced at $ 70, making it the Windows Phone device the cheapest available on the market.
Obviously, Microsoft is no stranger to this market, and launched the Lumia 435 and the Lumia 532 in January, the respective prices of 80 and 90 dollars.

Here's what we know about what Lumia 430. It has a 4-inch touchscreen with a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels, and is powered by a Snapdragon processor 200, clocked at 1.2 GHz. There is good news for the memory, since the smartphone has 1 GB of RAM, and 8GB of internal storage. In addition, you will find a micro-SD card slot for inflating the storage of 128 GB. For a phone that costs 70 dollars is excellent news.



On the software side, it comes with Windows Phone 8.1 and Lumia Denim update pre-installed, and the small smartphone will be upgraded to Windows 10, the time comes, even if Microsoft warns that the functionality will not be available the humble Lumia 430. Still, at least it will not be forgotten by the technology giant. Microsoft has added some applications on the smartphone, including Skype and Office, as well as 30 GB of storage space on OneDrive.

The back cover is orange or black and can be removed to replace the removable battery 1500 mAh. In addition, for the photo you are going to have a 2-megapixel rear camera and a VGA front camera. Finally, the Lumia 430 has an intelligent dual-SIM mode, where individual profiles can be assigned to each. This is the main difference between the Lumia 430 and the Lumia 435, except for the price.
The Lumia 430 is also distinguished by its delicacy, since it has a thickness of 10.63 mm and a weight of 127.9 g - where the Lumia 435 shows a thickness of 11.7 mm and a weight of 134.1 g.


Although I can joke about the race that leads Microsoft in the area of the entry level, on paper the Lumia 430 is a bargain. Right now, unless you're a big spender, it really is the device to have!

Microsoft will launch the Lumia 430 in many countries in April.
