Microsoft Launches Lumia 535 with the Power of Five

Until recently, Microsoft has been active in supporting the Lumia series of smartphones with its operating system. However, now, the company has launched the first phone, the Lumia 535 with Microsoft’s name branded on the device.

Although, the phone doesn’t have great specs like the current hi-tech smartphones like the iPhone 6 or Nexus 6 or anything slimmer than Oppo R5 but it surely has some unique features.

Work on the move.

First and foremost the strong point of this phone is allows you to take work on the move. Thanks to Microsoft’s clever move to seamlessly tie all devices running Windows 8.1 with Microsoft Office.

Camera:

The phone features 5” touch screen and latest operating system Windows 8.1. Its 5 MP front camera is perfect for taking selfies and having conversations over Skype. The Lumia selfie app will make it sharing-ready with its various editing features.

However, the rear camera is a bit of disappointment as it has just a 5 MP camera. In an era where smartphones’ have crossed into the 8 MP threshold, a 5 MP rear camera looks a little out of fashion. We haven’t yet arrived on why Microsoft is being so soft on the camera front. But the good thing is, it surely has a better front shooting camera.

Apps:

The phone is pre-loaded with Instagram, which will enable you to share your photos with your friends and loved ones. Additionally, the Lumia 535 allows you to take your work on the move with the help of Microsoft Office. You can edit documents on your phone through this app.  The phone will also offer you some entertainment through popular games like Subway Surfers. Moreover, you can download apps of your requirement and choice via the Windows Store.

The Lumia 535 is powered by 1.2 GHz quad-core processor and 1 GB RAM. It has an 8 GB onboard memory with the capacity to extend it up to 128 GB. To top it up, Microsoft is offering a 15 GB free OneDrive storage with this smartphone. Now, this free cloud space will surely attract smartphone users looking for storing data online.

Ending note:

The phone would be available in interesting colors such as grey, orange and green for approximately €110. It also gives the option to choose from a single SIM version and a dual one. You can also pick up matching accessories such as portable speakers, Cloud Bang, etc. with this smartphone.
