Das Lumia 730 ist aktuell für unter 200 Euro zu haben. Mit Dual-SIM-Funktionen, einer hochauflösenden Frontkamera und in poppigen Farben soll es vor allem die Generation "Selfie" ansprechen. Der Test zeigt, wie gut die Frontkamera wirklich ist, wie das...

These days, manufacturers use specifications to attract consumers. We are seeing octa-core processor and 3 GB RAM in sub 15k phones. Thankfully, rather than joining this mad specs race, the Lumia 730 focuses on the user experience. It won't top any...
