Windows Phones are getting even more affordable, with the Microsoft Lumia 435 being the latest and cheapest entry to the WPhone experience.
The Microsoft Lumia 435, which is the first in the 400 series, is a 4-inch smartphone with a dual core Snapdragon 200 processor. There’s a built-in 8GB storage with microSD expansion of up to 128GB. Like other Windows Phones, the Lumia 435 comes with free Office, Skype and OneDrive apps.
The Lumia 435’s appearance awfully looks like the discontinued Nokia X series, which we did enjoyed enough in our review. So what’s not to like?
