Lumia 535 is the first official Microsoft phone – First Impressions
Nokia is no more. While the Lumia smartphone brand it championed remains, the Lumia 535 is the first phone branded by Microsoft. But this isn't a revolution, as the Microsoft Lumia 535 still has its roots in Nokia phones – it's kind of an upgrade to the lacklustre Nokia Lumia 530. It's too early to say if this is the supreme budget phone that Microsoft hopes it is, but it's a clear improvement on the 530.
Lumia 535 Release Date and Price: The Lumia 535 will go on sale by the end of the November for €109 before tax. UK price to follow. Microsoft currently has no plans to sell the Lumia 535 in the US.
Key to this transformation is the screen, a 5-inch display with a 960 x 540 resolution. It's an improvement over the ugly TN-based LCD screen of the Lumia 530. It's not hugely sharp, but colours appear above average and the viewing angle is adequate. Microsoft also claims superior outdoor visibility, though I had no chance to test this out.
