Microsoft Lumia 730 Design, Pricing, and Specs Tipped in New Leak

Microsoft's rumoured selfie-focused smartphone, believed to be dubbed Lumia 730, which was also reportedly shown off at an internal company meeting by Stephen Elop, has been leaked by a Vietnamese retailer.

WMpoweruser, citing a Vietnamese publication, claims that the anticipated Lumia 730 will be available by the end of this month in that country and will be priced at VND 5,000,000 (Rs. 14,500 roughly).

According to the leaked specifications, the unannounced Lumia 730 will feature a 4.7-inch HD display and will come with dual-SIM support. Under the hood, the anticipated selfie-focused handset will likely be powered by a Snapdragon 400 processor alongside Adreno 305 GPU and 1GB of RAM.

Further, the Vietnamese retailer claims that the rumoured Lumia 730 will sport a 6.7-megapixel rear camera and as previously reported, will feature a 5-megapixel front-facing camera. The smartphone is also likely to boast of a Carl Zeiss lens, though the report has not specified for which of the two cameras. Other features include 8GB of inbuilt storage and no physical button for the camera.

The retailer has also leaked an image that appears to be promotional material for the rumoured Lumia 730. The leaked image shows a handset in orange colour; however, only the rear camera is visible - with no Carl Zeiss branding.

Last week, the alleged Lumia 730 was leaked in a Green colour variant. One of the leaked images showed the handset running an unannounced 'Lumia Debian Red' version of Windows Phone, which is speculated to be the company's version of the Windows Phone 8.1 Update 1 that is expected to be available to the general public later this year.

Earlier this week, Microsoft announced it had begun rolling-out the Windows Phone 8.1 Update 1 in its preview form for developers, and brought Cortana in 'alpha' form to India.

Notably, Sony, cashing-in on the growing 'selfie' trend, launched the Xperia C3 last month alongside its dual-SIM variant, the Xperia C3 Dual, with a global roll-out due in August.
