Microsoft announced Tuesday that they plan to release three new Lumia phones for the entry-level smartphone market. The new Lumia 830, 730 Dual SIM and 735 smartphones run on the latest Windows Phone 8.1. operating system. 

The technology company dubs the Lumia 830 as their affordable flagship product. It brings high-end innovations to a wider market reach. The smartphone model includes optical image stabilization and a 10-megapixel PureView imaging as its best features. It showcases the Lumia's best and Microsoft's newest technology in a budget-friendly price and design.  

Tagged by Microsoft as built for Skype and selfies, the Lumia 730 Dual SIM and Lumia 735 both have front cameras with a wide angle and 5 megapixel, a pretty high standard for smartphone front cameras. Both models support wireless charging and LTE/4G. The two also start shipping worldwide this month.

Microsoft also announce two new accessories for Lumia smartphones. First is the Wireless Charging Plate DT-903 that alerts users when to charge their phones and highlights notifications with a faint glow. Another one is the Microsoft Screen-Sharing for Lumia Phones HD-10. It widens sharing options for mobile phones as the feature allows owners to beam any kind of content from their smartphone to HDMI-enabled screen handsets.

The future of Lumia gets better with the Lumia Denim update which combines the latest Windows Phone 8.1. operating system with experiences exclusive for Lumia smartphones. 

The Denim update offers the Lumia camera whose main features include speed, high definition, intuitiveness, and quality.  It lets the camera work more intuitively and faster. It will initially be introduced in the smartphone models Lumia 930, Lumia Icon and Lumia 1520. It will soon be released as an update for all Lumia Windows 8 phones.

The Microsoft Devices Group products include Nokia mobile phones, Xbox hardware and Lumia smartphones and tablets.
