For the first time the Nokia Lumia series has been released
without the Nokia Name tag, I had booked for this phone on November 27th, 2014.
On 29th I had received a call from Nokia Centre stating the product has
arrived, More than me my hubby was excited to get the best phone of the
year.
Microsoft Lumia 535 is an awesome phone to Windows lovers, being a
Windows user I simply adore it. This giant 5'' Inches Screen has three columns
and the Windows OS offers access to all the things this generation of
people would want in their smart phone: E-mail, Office, Outlook, File Manager,
Facebook, twitter, News, Browsing, Selfie Camera, etc.
Few Inbuilt applications which was'nt present in my previous Nokia
Lumia 520 Scroll List was Battery Saver, BoxTV, Cortana, Jabong,
Foodpanda, Health & Fitness, Jabong.com (Yeah! Its True), News,

The looks and features of this Phone is almost equal to High end
Smart phones, but goes easy on your pockets. I got in a Nokia Care Centre in
Medavakkam, Chennai, INDIA. The Price was exactly Rs. 9200/-.
You get full View, the Screen is 5" (12.7 cm) Gorilla
Glass 3 Screen, not as big as a tab, neither too small, though the screen is
big, the phone quite comfortably fits inside our palms. The wide screen makes
it easy to make Skype calls. the wider screen gives a decent view, it feels
like we are chatting through a laptop. The Display is perfect for a Bigger,
Clearer Selfie. It did impress me. There isn't any problem with the touch
sensitivity. The Technology is Capacitive Multipoint - Touch. And the Display
technology is IPS LCD.
The back, windows and search buttons are not hardware touch
buttons like Nokia Lumia 520, you need to swipe up to see the buttons, and the
same pattern follows with the signal, bluetooth, Camera and Brightness setting
which is in the top of the screen, you need to swipe down to see those
tiles.
I always suggest Windows phone to new smart phone buyers, the
Customization part always impresses me in Windows phone, you want an app,
install it in seconds through store, want to check a mail add your account,
changing your phone, remember the windows login details, not only your
contacts, messages, camera photos, even your Whatsapp photos are stored
and transferred to your new phone with ease.
And for a Professional Microsoft Office is built-in in Lumia
series which offers access to Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote, And
we don't need to worry about storage in Microsoft Lumia 535, The following are
the specifications with regard to storage; RAM: 1 GB, 8 Gb Mass Memory, 128 GB
Maximum memory card size and Cloud Storage 15 GB.
Now lets see the Pros and Cons of Microsoft Lumia 535;
Lumia 535: Pros
I love the Corona app, Have a look at what does this app do in the following Video Link;
Very well built, Wide Screen, Cool apps, Excellent Camera
Features, Decent Battery life, I would rate excellent performance. Best suited
for Windows Users who are looking for High end phone with the best price.
Lumia 535: Cons
Though tutorials are available, the ease to use for first time windows users or smartphone users is missing. that can be improved. For New Smart phone buyers the three columns tiles would look a bit clumsy and complicated. With regard to charger, the same old design except the name tag, "Microsoft" has replaced "Nokia". And I would admit that I hated the headset, Could have been more comfortable and stylish.
But It would be Unfair to ask for more, Microsoft Lumia 535 offers
more than its price, the perfect strategy to enter into market and mark its
name in the consumers mind. According to me, buying Microsoft Lumia 535 at just
Rs. 9200/- ($149) is a deal which too good to be true.
The Best Smart Phone for the Smart Buyers!
