Microsoft Lumia 540 Dual SIM Review

Microsoft launched the Lumia 540 Dual SIM last month in India. It is a handset that makes you confused as to what its purpose in Microsoft's lineup really is. This is because it closely resembles its elder brother, the Lumia 640 which was announced...

Good Build Quality; Good Screen; Good Front Camera; Dual SIM Support; microSD Card Slot (Upto 128GB); Removable Back Cover and Battery

No HD Video Recording (Maximum Resolution for Video is 480p at 30fps); Average Camera (Bad Low Light Performance and High Colour Noise); Price; Above Average Battery Life (Lesser compared to the Lumia 640)

The Lumia 540 Dual SIM is a good phone overall. It has a few shortcomings especially with video recording limited to 480p resolution. But it has more of positives than negatives and that is a good thing. But we aren’t sure if we will pick it over the...

Microsoft Lumia 540 Review: A viable Android alternative

Despite a complicated UI and lack of 4G option, the Microsoft Lumia 540 looks much better than average Android smartphones in the sub-Rs 10,000 price bracket.

Colourful and sturdy design Good cameras Appreciable battery life

Lags while playing high end games and multitasking

Microsoft Lumia 540 features a better display, improved camera and a bigger battery and is priced Rs 1,000 higher than its predecessor. We take it for a spin to find out if it has what it takes to be the gateway to Windows Phone ecosystem.

Microsoft Lumia 540 Dual SIM Review

While Microsoft hasn't launched any flagship or a high-end Windows smartphone in the past few months, they have launched several budget devices. The recent addition to the Lumia family was another budget aimed smartphone, the Lumia 540. The Microsoft...

Solid build quality ; Good display ; Great low light rear camera ; Good performance

underwhelming front camera ; Windows Phone is still catching up

The Lumia 540 is priced at Rs. 10,199, which is a little surprising considering the Lumia 640 is priced at Rs. 9,999 and it’s better equipped. The device competes with a plethora of great Android smartphones including the likes of Lenovo A700, Honor 4X...
