Abstract: The Microsoft Lumia 535 is the first phone from the Redmond giant to sport the Microsoft branding - you won't see Nokia listed on this handset. It's a budget 5-inch handset that follows the same design as the previous Lumia devices before it, but as the f...

Bright, sturdy shell with changeable covers, 5 megapixel camera on front, low price
SubHD, unresponsive screen, processor could be faster
Despite the change of name, the Microsoft Lumia 535 is pretty much business as usual. It's a solidly put together budget-priced workhorse of a phone that will get most jobs done without particularly excelling in any department. It's a shame the screen's ...

Display quality is low, touchscreen response is poor, it's sluggish, no 4G

The Lumia 535 is pretty impressive for an entry-level smartphone. Obviously there are a few faults, but for the £100 asking price, you're getting a fluid and responsive smartphone with a decent screen. If you're looking for something a bit smaller, you mi...
Flagship level features, Changeable case and matching accessories available, Incredibly budgetfriendly price point
Underpowered processor, No 4G LTE, Known touchscreen bugs, Very average screen
Brilliant price point at under £110 and packing all the features of its pricier stable-mates, Microsoft’s first phone to bear its name is startlingly devoid of punchy new features and tricks. An identikit Lumia phone with a sluggish processor, we had hop...
