Microsoft Announces The Lumia 430
Continuing their dive to the bottom of the price barrel on smartphones, Microsoft today has announced the new Lumia 430. This $70 Windows Phone 8.1 powered device has minimal specs as you would expect for that price point but does has a few things going for it in that it is upgradable to Windows 10 for Phone and it is a Dual-SIM device. Otherwise this phone is not going to set the world alight but that really isn’t want Microsoft is intending with the Lumia 430. It is a budget friendly phone aimed at specific markets (APAC, IMEA, Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine and Belarus) to go after the “next billion” in Microsoft plans.
That means we will likely never see the Lumia 430 here in the United States.
