Reception

Jon Devo from TrustedReviews wrote: "We can only recommend the Microsoft Lumia 430 phone if you find the Windows Phone 8.1 OS preferable to Android. Otherwise stronger alternatives can be found for the money." Sean Cameron from TechRadar pointed out the eye-catching looks, the sturdy, comfortable design and that it makes a great first impression, but disliked the poor screen, the bad camera and the laggy performance.
