All these are powered by a small 1560 mAh battery that promises to get you through over 8 hours talk-time on 3G. Of course, it has Dual SIM functionality too.
The Lumia 430 joins the Lumia 435 and 532 in Microsoft’s lowest-priced Windows Phones, like its predecessors, the Lumia 430 runs on Windows Phone 8.1 and is eligible for a Windows 10 upgrade, whenever that launches.
