The Redmond guys has finally said Goodbye to Nokia branding and brought the first Lumia handset with their own branding, named Lumia 535. Dismissing all the rumours for its different name, the Microsoft Lumia 535 has been appeared on the land to surprise budget market with its elegant appeal. Now, the future of Lumia devices can be seen over here in the hands of this budget offering. The handset was earlier teased by the Company itself for its launch with an image.
So, here is the device with all capable features and specifications to make you surprise. The main factor which you have never seen yet in any low-range Lumia device, you can experience here, that is its selfie camera with selfie centric features. The 5MP front-facing shooter with wide-angle lens and has 24mm focal length, is crafted so wonderfully for all selfie enthusiasts. You have seen the same in Lumia 730 and 735. But it reportedly lacks in the clarity and quality when some onlooker clicked few images because of lacking screen resolution. First time the camera of a Lumia smartphone felt shame for its picture quality and the reason is the screen resolution.
This Lumia handset looks all same as its ancestors with Nokia branding, the difference is the branding. Its front and back have been refreshed with Microsoft name. To give it the Microsoft flavor, the handset is designed with astounding selfie camera and a 5-inch display. Microsoft Lumia 535 can be called as the brother of Lumia 530. This Company has decided to sell this device in Russia, India, China and other Asian countries. There would be some hopes that Europe will get this later.

A 5-inch AMOLED display is tempting enough, but the 960 x 540 pixels resolution seems stingy and finds hard to tolerate. Corning Gorilla Glass coating makes us relax by providing protection from any screen damage. The 5MP front camera is outstanding with wide-angle lens as talked above, but captured pictures on a low resolution screen only disappoints. The same 5MP camera is also crafted on rear side with LED flash.
A 1.2GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 processor and 1GB of RAM hide inside it to offer power-packed performance. The Company has done the justice with this new Lumia 535 by packing it with 1,905mAh battery, 8GB of built-in storage and a microSD card slot (upto 128GB data storage capacity). It is a 3G enabled device and has two models according to SIM slot. The single SIM model is named Lumia 535 and the dual SIM model has received the name, Lumia 535 Dual SIM and run on Windows Phone 8.1 OS.
The handset is also making colorful entry, including Green, cyan, orange, black and white color options with changeable back panels. To safety conscious people, Microsoft will also be offering Flip covers in several matching colors. The same built appeal as Nokia Lumia devices; the plastic back with smooth corners and slightly rounded edges this new Lumia handset carries. But, the Microsoft Logo with name is engraved on back specially to give it the pure Microsoft flavor.
The sale will begin for this handset in late November and it will be selling at EUR 110 (Excluding taxes and subsidies). We just hope that India will soon taste the budget Microsoft Lumia 535.
