Lumia 535 offers more at a cheaper price

Following teasers and leaks, Microsoft has
officially unveiled its first smartphone without Nokia
branding - Lumia 535. The smartphone will be
available in dual-sim and single sim variants from
November at an estimated price of 110 euros (Rs 8,400
approximately) (excluding taxes and subsidies) with
sales starting in China, Hong Kong and Bangladesh.
There's no information on the India pricing and release
of the phone.
Lumia 535 looks similar to Lumia 530 which was
unveiled earlier this year, complete with rounded
corners and a coloured back cover.
However, it does not sport any Nokia branding. Also,
Microsoft has tried to fill in some gaps to make it more
feature complete. For instance, the phone has a 5MP
front camera for selfies and Skype calls and an LED
flash at the back to take low-light photos. It also has
1GB RAM unlike the Lumia 530 which was unable to
run games that demanded more memory.
Lumia 535 sports a 5-inch qHD (960x540p, 220ppi) IPS
LCD display with Corning Gorilla Glass 3. The phone is
powered by a 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 quad-
core processor and 1GB RAM. It comes with 8GB
internal storage and supports microSD card slots of up
to 128GB for expansion. The phone has a 1905mAh
battery.

The smartphone runs Windows Phone 8.1 with Lumia
Denim update and supports Cortana voice assistant,
depending on the region.
Lumia 535 sports a 5MP rear camera (1/4 inch sensor,
f/2.4 aperture and 28mm focal length) with auto-focus
and LED flash and a 5MP front-facing camera for selfie
fans. It can shoot video at 848x480p resolution.
In terms of connectivity, the phone offers 3G, Wi-Fi,
Bluetooth 4.0 and A-GPS.
Microsoft Lumia 535 will be available in cyan, bright
green, bright orange, white, dark grey, and black
colour options.
