In the low-end segment of the smartphone market, one can argue that only Motorola and Microsoft offer phones with a decent experience. It is no surprise then that the latter is further lowering the bar now with the announcement of the $70 Lumia 430, which offers a fine feature set for its price.
The display at the front is 4” with 480 x 800 resolution and 235 ppi. The design is usual Lumia. The OS running on it is Windows Phone 8.1, which is said to be upgradeable to Windows 10, quite a treat for this price. There is also dual-SIM connectivity.
Underneath, you get a Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 processor with a respectable 1 GB RAM and 8 GB storage, which is said to be expandable by an impressive 128 GB. At the back lies a lowly 2 mp camera which is clearly the low-point of the package but trade-offs are to be expected.
Last is the 1,500 mAh battery. Price is set at $70 which is quite competitive and under the budget for a large number of people. This is clearly a new high-point in the low-end range of Lumia phones.

- CPU: Dual-Core Cortex A7

now i can say that Microsoft is trying to penetrate, i have lumia 535 which is absolutely great.
What about its touch screen issues? Update k baad touch theek kaam kr raha ya still some pproblems? Please reply honestly.
Yes there are some issues regarding the touch screen, but after update its all good and works better. Its a great phone indeed
bro touch is better, kabi kabi issue karta ha mostly jab aap ne charging pe lagay ho aur sath use kar rhy ho, otherwise nai karta, ya agar karta b ha to bht kam, battery timing bht achi ha, m satisfied
multi touch sahe chalta ha bro?

I got 2 major updates, touch is fine now, you gotta use high quality screen protector
Yep, its great
Windows Phones are all like shit

camera bahot chota hai….2 mp very low res…. ☻
Price bohot chta hai and i bet this 2mp camera will be a 5mp qmobile camera :D
Lenovo K3 is for just 10000… quite better than this one
Can someone tell me how it’s different than Lumia 435 which is priced at 10000 here? Seems Microsoft following the footprints of Q Mobile.
amazing deal, sad for camera
Battery: 1,500 mAh, it will die in 1.5 hours continues use, Even a simple user can’t spend full day without charging it
You noob, lumia’s 1500mAH battery is much better than 2200mAH android. It will surely last a whole day…
Ram good, Rom good,
Screen size moderate.
Camera: Not Good.
Processor is a main thing, NOT GOOD.
Battery capacity is important, NOT GOOD.
With respect to price it’s an okay cellphone.
Standard of microsoft mobile phones is very low. They must hard work to keep the standard of their phones near famous companies like, iphone, smasung, LG, Sony, Lenovo and Motorolla.
Why low?
Windows phone is better than Android more stable more secure
yes thats the point, adroid phone crashed easily
No. This is BULLCWAP!
Android?
ye tu Microsoft 535 se better hai
Price is good but it will be more attractable if it include WiFi in it.
Have 70$ price is officially announced by Microsoft, if yes. Why? price is Rs. 14000.00 in pak.
it’ll be 9-10k in pk
