Microsoft LUMIA 430 Dual SIM

The Microsoft Lumia 430 Dual SIM is an affordable smartphone running Windows Phone 8.1 and is great for those looking for a device with a small screen and a smooth user experience at the same time.

The phone sports a 4-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 800 480 pixels. The viewing experience is extremely sharp thanks to the small size of the screen, with the latter also ensuring the phone is easy to handle with one hand. There is a dual-core Snapdragon 200 processor ticking away inside, with a clock speed of 1.2GHz. There is 1GB of RAM as well, so you can use various apps and switch between them with ease.

The Lumia 430 Dual SIM isn t the best option for photography buffs, as it only has a 2-megapixel rear camera that won t be able to capture as much detail in the images it captures. The front shooter is a VGA camera, and should more or less be sufficient only for basic selfies and video calling. The phone has a 1,500 mAh battery for keeping the lights on, and while the capacity isn t much, it is still slated for up to 9.1 days of talk time and up to 11 days of standby time.

Internal storage is 8GB, which is impressive given the phone s price as most phones from major manufacturers in this price often have only 4GB. A microSD slot is included and can accommodate a whopping 128GB of additional space, another feature that puts the Lumia 430 above the the competition. Furthermore, the phone also comes with 30GB of free Microsoft OneDrive storage, making it a pretty great option for those that store a lot of content on their devices.

The Lumia 430 might not be the most feature-packed smartphone, but it certainly packs a punch thanks to Windows Phone 8.1, an OS that is extremely light, efficient and fast, with an extremely easy to use user interface. All things considered, the Lumia 430 is a great affordable smartphone for those that want to try something other than Android.
