Microsoft today announced the local availability of the Lumia 730 Dual SIM handset, in an exclusive partnership with Cell C.

The device operates on Windows Phone 8.1, offers dual-SIM support, and a 5MP front-facing camera. According to Microsoft, the handset is powered by a Snapdragon 400 processor, featuring a quad-core CPU at 1.2GHz.

The Lumia's 4.7-inch HD OLED display has a viewing angle of almost 180 degrees, which enables video viewing in sunlight, say Microsoft.

Users will have access to Microsoft services such as Outlook, Word, Excel, OneNote and PowerPoint, as well as 15GB of OneDrive cloud storage.

"The Lumia 730 will certainly add to the great momentum we are seeing with Windows devices on our network, with the Lumia 530 Dual SIM and Lumia 1320 really performing well," says Ernst Fonternel, Cell C chief commercial officer.

The device will be available from next week at Cell C outlets for R229 per month on a SmartChat 1GB contract. The recommended cash retail price is R4 499.
