The Microsoft Lumia 435 made its official debut last January, one of the affordable Windows phones one can get from the market. And after being made commercially available in the United Kingdom last month, the Lumia 435 has now been made available to US consumers as well.

The Microsoft Lumia 435 is available from Microsoft Stores and from T-Mobile for just $70, contract-free.

Not a bad deal but of course it may be best to remember that you get what you pay for. Hence, it would depend on how consumers would consider the specs that the Lumia 435 carries.

To recall, the Microsoft Lumia 435 features a 4-inch display with WVGA resolution (800x480 pixels) that is relies on a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 processor clocked at 1.2 GHz. It is further supported by 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage that is expandable up to 128GB through microSD card support.

Further specs that the Microsoft Lumia 435 carries include a 2MP rear camera and 0.3MP front-facing (VGA) camera. It will draw its power from an included 1,560 mAh battery and is also dual-SIM ready.

The Lumia 435 will of course run on Windows 8.1 and Lumia Denim. This means the device will also come with the Cortana, App Corner and Live Folders as well as Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, Powerpoint and OneNote).

More apps include Outlook, Skype and HERE location services, a lot of apps that should make it practically an all-in-one device that people will find handy.

For just $70 and contract-free at that, those seem to be pretty decent specs that should be sufficient for people on the go. The Microsoft Lumia 435 should be worthy enough to use, particularly for people who are working on a budget or merely want a handy device to have along for the daily routines and use folks would need.
