Microsoft Lumia 430 announced

With Microsoft working hard to promote its Windows Phone platform , cutting corners and making phones accessible to the low end market is probably the best option they have on the table right now , With the announcement of the Lumia 520 , things looked good for the platform , but now its about to get a whole lot better thanks to the announcement of the new Lumia 430 .

The Lumia 430 - which sits below the already cheap Lumia 5xx platform is priced at $70 off contract , the internals of the phone remind us of the Lumia 520 as this model is also equipped with the same 1.2 Ghz Snapdragon 200 Soc , but unlike the old model - this has 1GB of ram - making it eligible for the upcoming Windows (phone) 10 update . The rest of the phone is basically a mix of old parts and new ones , for starters , we have a 2MP fixed focus camera and a VGA front facing one for skype , the 4" display also has a low resolution of 480x800 - which by all means is still great for the price . You get 8GB of internal storage along with a MicroSD card slot which can hold cards upto 128GB .

The phone is expected to go on sale in regions including - APAC, IMEA, Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine and Belarus from April . The phone is expected to be priced at $70 (without TAX)

HTC One to sell as TD 101 at China Mobile

HTC decided to invest in such a brand by launching the One series of smartphones last year, although the company was not able to impose its own product names to certain carriers. Then, just a few days ago, the company launched the HTC One, which is going to be the company’s only One-branded handset this year, a make-or-break kind of project for the Taiwanese Android maker that’s still having a tough time fighting against the competition, especially Samsung. We were under the impression that HTC will further invest in its One brand and not budge to carrier demands anymore when it comes to changing the name of the product – in the U.S., AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile are going to sell it as the HTC One. But it looks like things aren’t necessarily so, and no, it’s not Verizon that’s going to get its way selling the One as the Droid DNA Plus, as it was recently rumored. We’re looking at China Mobile this time around, which has announced the HTC One as the HTC TD 101. That’s certa...
