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, TimesCity, A whole list of Lumia apps, here is the list;

• Lumia Camera

• Luma CInemagraph

• Lumia Creative Studio

• Lumia Help + Tips

• Lumia Refocus

• Lumia Selfie

• Lumia Storyteller

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!
