Microsoft Corp. on Thursday unlocked the promise of
smartphone ownership for many more people with the introduction of Lumia 430
Dual SIM, the latest addition to its affordable range of Lumia smartphones.
Built with the latest Windows Phone 8.1 software, a Qualcomm Snapdragon
processor featuring a dual-core CPU running at 1.2GHz, and with Microsoft
Office, Skype and OneDrive pre-loaded, the Lumia 430 Dual SIM was designed to
help people achieve more at work, at play and on the go.
Microsoft continues to expand its affordable smartphone
portfolio, which now spans a diverse range of price points and capabilities,
from the super-affordable Lumia 435 with Lumia Camera to the recently announced
Lumia 640 and Lumia 640 XL, which come with a one-year subscription to Office
365 Personal. People can have their choice of Lumia device to suit their
everyday needs and budget. Windows Phone 8.1 devices like the Lumia 430 Dual
SIM will benefit from further innovation, with the ability to upgrade them to
Windows 10 when the service debuts later this year.
The Lumia 430 Dual SIM features a compact, durable and
colorful design with a vivid 4-inch WVGA display that brings all the latest
apps, games and videos to life. With Lumia 430, people can instantly achieve
more every day, and they can use Microsoft Office and Outlook for work and
personal productivity.
They can access up to 30 GB of free cloud storage on OneDrive
for safekeeping important content. People can experience the fun of video calls
with Skype-integrated calling and a front-facing camera. Smart Dual SIM allows
people to assign unique profiles to their SIM cards, such as “work” or “family,”
to help them better manage daily communication. Favorite apps like Facebook,
Twitter, WhatsApp, Candy Crush Saga and Instagram are available, with more apps
and entertainment just a click away on the Windows Phone Store.
Speaking on this, Corporate Vice President for Phones at
Microsoft, Jo Harlow, says “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. “The Lumia 430 Dual SIM continues our
commitment to combining the right hardware, software, services and apps with
the right price to give people a smartphone they can afford and be proud to
use.”
The Lumia 430 Dual SIM will begin rolling out in select
markets in the Middle East and Africa, Asia-Pacific, Russia, Kazakhstan, and
Belarus starting in April 2015, and in India toward the end of April 2015. It
will be available in two colors: bright orange and black.
