Microsoft unveils Lumia 430, its cheapest Windows Phone at Rs 5299

The most affordable Lumia smartphone, the Microsoft Lumia 430 has made its way into India in the form of a dual SIM model which has its price set at just Rs 5299. This device runs the latest Windows Phone 8.1 OS, but more importantly, it’s eligible for the Windows 10 update that will be issued to it later this year.

The Microsoft Lumia 430 joins a pack of other affordable Windows Phone smartphones that have made their way into India lately. These include the Lumia 435 which is selling now at a lowered cost of just Rs 4999. So that doesn’t quite make the 430 model the cheapest Windows Phone device out now, but that’s what Microsoft prefers to call it anyway.
