Under the hashtag #AchieveMore, Microsoft has launched a new range of Lumia phones compromising Microsoft Lumia 640, Microsoft Lumia 640XL and the most affordable device, the Microsoft Lumia 430 Dual SIM. The manufacturing company seeks to inspire users to increase their productivity by doing more with their Lumia phones, whether at work or at home.
The Microsoft Lumia 640 and 640XL become the latest LTE / 4G smart devices to join the Lumia portfolio in Kenya and will retail at Kshs 19,999 and Kshs 25,750 respectively.
Lumia 640 and 640XL offers more personal computing and increased productivity through seamlessly integrated Microsoft Office experiences which comes with one year free subscription, OneDrive storage and fast 4G connectivity. Both devices will upgrade to and benefit from Windows 10 as it becomes available later this year.
The Lumia 640 and 640 can smoothly and quickly access important documents or run all of your favourite websites, apps and games, thanks to the on-board 1GB of memory and powerful quad core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. You can also view photos and watch videos on a crisp 5.7” HD display on both devices as you capture detail rich photos even in low light, thanks to the 13 MP camera on the Lumia 640 XL with LED flash and an 8 MP camera on the Lumia 640, also with an LED flash.
What’s more, you can stay updated on the most important information with Glance Screen, available on the Lumia 640 XL and enjoy Windows Phone 8.1 and the Lumia Denim update, complete with one-swipe Action Center, Word Flow and Live Folders on both devices.
Most affordable Lumia device
The Lumia 430 Dual SIM is built with Windows Phone 8.1 software with a dual-core CPU running at 1.2GHz. This is by far the most affordably priced Lumia and will retail at only Kshs 8,850.
The device comes preloaded with Microsoft Office, Skype and OneDrive and is designed to help you #AchieveMore at work, at play and on the go. It also features a compact, durable and colourful design with a vivid 4-inch WVGA display that brings all the latest apps, games and videos to life.
Users can also access up to 30 GB of free cloud storage on OneDrive for safekeeping important content, experience the fun of video calls with Skype-integrated calling and a front-facing camera.
