While it is no longer the most affordable Lumia on the market – that crown goes to the Lumia 435 now – for its $129 retail price, simply saying that it's worth the money is an understatement. After all, it is a budget smartphone with a quad-core processor...
Abstract: 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 device. T...
Assessing the Lumia 535 is dependent on quite a few factors that haven't finalised yet - the price (in the UK, at least), the new firmware that fixes the touchscreen issues, availability of the matt finish units (black, white, blue). Assuming that all of...
1GB of RAM, Large screen, Generous storage, Great front camera,
Display gets only qHD resolution, Touch responsiveness is faulty, Overpriced
For its first device without Nokia's trusted branding, the Microsoft Lumia 535 is a decent effort. It's managed to set a new benchmark among affordable Lumias, which until now, featured mediocre specifications at best. It gets a bigger screen, 1GB of RAM...
Abstract: "The Microsoft Lumia 535 is an attractive option in the budget Windows Phone category" Microsoft's first smartphone since it officially ditched the Nokia brand name isn't a high-end flagship, like you'd expect. Instead, it's an affordable device, the Lumi...

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....
Abstract: "We take the Microsoft Lumia 535's snappers out for a spin"This night shot is exceedingly grainy, with visible light leaks. The image has taken on a yellowish tone, and hardly any detail is retained. But, as we saw in the low light sample, the camera has...

Dual-SIM, Rich software experience, Great expandable memory options
Lacklustre, unresponsive screen, Laggy performance, Disappointing camera
It does its job but not much else As we mentioned earlier, the Lumia 535 is an interesting choice for Microsoft to place its mark on. We were expecting the rebranding to make its debut on a flagship handset, but siding with the affordable pushes a dif...

Microsoft packs the Lumia 532 with way more goodies than you'd expect in a phone at this price, but impedes our use of them somewhat with a low-quality screen and average battery life. Still, it is hard to complain too fiercely when you might only pay $10...
