Specifications

Hardware
Microsoft Lumia 535 (RM–1089)

The Lumia 535 comes with a 5.0" IPS LCD display and 5 MP cameras on both the front and the back. The phone has 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of built-in storage, and is powered by a quad-core 1.2 GHz Snapdragon 200 CPU and Adreno 302 GPU. Battery capacity is 1905 mAh and the phone is available in orange, green, white, black, gray and blue.[5]

Software

The Lumia 535 ships with Windows Phone 8.1 Update 2 (through the Lumia Denim update) and is upgradeable to Windows 10 Mobile.

Reception

Jim Martin from PC Advisor wrote: "We're fans of Windows Phone 8.1 but the Lumia 535 compromises in too many areas to make it a bargain at £100. You're better off with a Motorola Moto E or – if you want 4G – the EE Kestrel."[6]

Katharine Byrne from Expert Reviews wrote that "Microsoft's Lumia 535 is well-built, but poor battery life and a fussy touchscreen makes it frustrating to use."[7]

According to Microsoft, the Lumia 535 became the best-selling mid-range smartphone in Pakistan.[8]

Issues

Since the release, users have detected numerous problems regarding the phone's touch screen. Microsoft has stated that these problems are caused by a software bug and released an update in January 2015 to fix it.[9][10] Another update in March partially fixed the issue and users who are still experiencing the issue are advised to contact Microsoft Care.[11][12]
