Microsoft Lumia 535 and 535 Dual SIM review: A first of many

 

It's a Lumia like the rest of them. A new youth player promoted to the first team, which will have no trouble blending in. It's just a different name on the familiar kit. Microsoft is starting from the bottom up - an entry level handset, no redesign to...

Optional Dual SIM with dual standby model ; 5" IPS display of qHD (540 x 960 px) resolution, Gorilla Glass 3 ; 1.2 GHz quad-core Cortex-A7 CPU, Adreno 302 GPU, Snapdragon 200 chipset, 1GB of RAM ; Windows Phone 8.1 with Lumia Denim ; 5MP autofocus...

The screen has low pixel density (not awfully visible, to be fair) ; No Glance screen ; Low battery capacity, especially for a dual SIM smartphone ; Low-res video recording

An affordable, big-screen smartphone, with dual-SIM support at that, the Microsoft Lumia 535 looks like a package that's made to measure for the emerging markets. No wonder India was one of the first destinations confirmed.

Microsoft Lumia 535 ( orange)

 

Its 5-inch display has a 960x540-pixel resolution, it has a 1.2GHz quad-core processor and 5-megapixel cameras on the front and back. One area that's particularly lacking is its connectivity -- the Lumia 535 does not support 4G data speeds, so you'll...

The Microsoft Lumia 535 is very cheap, it has a fun design with interchangeable cases, a 5-megapixel front camera and software features found on higher-end Lumias.

It doesn't have 4G LTE, its under-powered processor results in a sluggish interface, the touchscreen can be unresponsive and the screen is neither sharp nor particularly vivid.

The Lumia 535's cheap price, big screen and colourful body earn it plenty of points, but its lack of 4G LTE, unimpressive display and sometimes sluggish interface mean this phone isn't suitable for anything more than the basics.

Microsoft Lumia 535 Smartphone Review

 

Flying a new flag. The Lumia 535 is the first smartphone that has not only been developed under the umbrella of Microsoft but is also sold under the name of the new owner. It is located in the entry-level sector and catches the eye with its large...

Latest Windows Phone 8.1 (Denim), Good GPS, Expandable storage, Decent cameras, Bright screen with good color reproduction

and increased black level, Below-average voice quality, High power consumption, Sluggish touchscreen

Microsoft offers a decent entry-level alternative with its Lumia 535. It primarily convinces with up-to-date software, a bright and color accurate screen, and comparatively good cameras. The GPS receiver also surprised us favorably in the test and did...

Microsoft Lumia 535 Review

 

Costing $169.99 in the US, the Lumia 535 brings all the bells and whistles of Windows Phone 8.1 – Cortana included – powered by the humble Snapdragon 200, but still paired with a good 1 GB of RAM...

169.99 cost for a device that runs generally smooth ; 5 MP frontal cam and Lumia Selfie app offer the same functions as higher tier Lumias ; Impressive color reproduction, topping many others in its class and beyond ; Full Windows Phone 8.1 experience,...

The display's low resolution and very reflective glass leave room for improvement ; Opening large websites or YouTube could crash the browser ; Windows Phone store still has much less apps than the leading operating systems

The Lumia 535 manages to deliver a good chunk of the Windows Phone 8.1 experience, for a measly cost of $169.99. Yes, there has been a lot of corner-cutting involved, which results in unimpressive looks, low screen resolution and bad viewing angles,...

Microsoft Lumia 535 review

 

Microsoft's first smartphone is the entry-level Lumia 535. Selling for less than £100, or on very cheap contracts, the phone has a lot going for it, including a huge 5 inch display, a 5 megapixel front camera and good battery life.

Although our initial impressions of Microsoft's first Lumia product weren't stellar, the Lumia 535 quietly grew on us. We're impressed by its big screen, by the fluidity and user-friendliness of WP8.1, by the front camera, and the strong battery life.

Microsoft Lumia 535 review

 

Microsoft has ditched the Nokia name for its Lumia devices, and has decided to use its own brand on the Windows Phone series. And while that's one of the more noticeable features of the 535, it shouldn't be a reason for buying, or not buying the...
