Microsoft unveiled officially the cheapest smartphone with Windows. Lumia 435 makes its debut today in two versions: single- and DualSIM. The price of the smartphone will be only 69 euro.
What can we expect for this amount? First of all, a distinctive, raw style. Lumia 435 has a plotted straight plastic housing. The polycarbonate panel - available in different colours - covers the entire back and sides of the device. The panels will be offered in black, white, green and orange. Buyers of the most affordable Lumia will have access to Windows Phone 8.1 and the Lumia Denim update with all its components, including Cortana, Office suite, OneNote and Microsoft Outlook. Each user will also receive 30 GB of files in the cloud space OneDrive. The software will also include HERE maps with free navigation offline.

For such a low price, the specification of the phone is really decent. The heart of Lumia 435 is a 1.2 GHz Snapdragon dual-core processor, supported by 1 GB of RAM. Knowing the low power consumption of Windows Phone, this combination should ensure smooth operation. Slightly worse presents 8 GB of internal memory - but you have to remember about 30 GB in the cloud and the socket for a microSD card up to 128 GB. The photographic opportunities seems to be rather poor: the rear camera has 2 megapixels and fixed focus, and the front - has a VGA matrix. The phone also has a modest battery with a capacity of 1560 mAh. The 4-inch display has a resolution of 480x800 pixels, which in this price segment can be regarded as standard.

As you can see, the whole - for the price - looks pretty good. Keep in mind that these models are usually offered by operators for a very small amount, even with the cheapest subscriptions. For beginners – very good.
