Microsoft’s latest smartphone to hit our shores is the Lumia 730, available exclusively through Cell C.
The “selfie phone”, as it’s been dubbed, has a whopping 5-megapixel front-camera to take the best quality selfies. The camera is also wide angle, so perfect to take selfies with a group of friends. The 1080p HD front-camera also allows for a better Skype experience, and customers also get three months of free Skype calls to landlines globally. You’re also able to share your selfies quickly and easily to social networks like Facebook or Instagram.
The 4.7-inch Lumia 730 runs on the latest version of Windows Phone 8.1, has dual SIM support, and comes in an attractive slim, compact design. It is powered by a speedy Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 quad-core 1.2GHz processor and has a 2220mAh capacity battery to keep you going all day.
The 4.7-inch HD OLED display has an almost 180-degree viewing angle so you can watch your videos outside in bright light without your eyes taking a strain.
The Lumia 730 also brings all Microsoft services to your fingertips, such as Outlook, Word, Excel, OneNote and PowerPoint, including 15GB of OneDrive cloud storage.
