New Microsoft Lumia 430 sells for just $70 unlocked Microsoft has just taken smartphone price points down another notch, offering the low-end Lumia 430 for just $70 unlocked.
The company says the device is the "most affordable Lumia to-date," which is most likely true even though the specs are really not great.

Lumia 430 buyers get a 4-inch WVGA display powered by a 1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon 200, 8GB internal storage, 1GB RAM, dual 2MP/0.3MP cameras and a small 1500maH battery. You also get an additional 30GB free OneDrive storage and dual-SIM capabilities.

Available starting next month, Microsoft is bringing the phone to APAC, IMEA, Russia, Kazakhstan, and Belarus.
