Screen sensitivity issues, Sluggish performance, Dull display, Poor rear camera

Lacklustre screen, Boring design, Video recording restricted to 480p
The Lumia 535 is a well-priced phone that runs latest Windows Phone software. The user experience is mostly very good. However, the design is a bit of a let-down. Things get worse due to the disappointing video playback and 480p recording. Instead of spe...
