Microsoft has officially launched their new unofficial selfie smartphone for the masses, the Lumia 535. The most notable features of this smartphone include a 5MP wide-angle front camera, 5MP rear camera with LED flash and 5-inch display with 960 x 540 pixel resolution and Corning Gorilla Glass 3 for just RM429. The version coming to Malaysia supports dual SIM and will pack in Windows Phone 8.1 with the latest Lumia Denim update right out of the box. It will be available next week in black, cyan, orange and white. In addition, units bought in December 2014 will also come with a free bundle worth RM99 which includes a 2200 mAh power bank, 16GB memory card, screen protector, keychain and notepad. Trying out the Lumia 535 first hand, the smartphone is quite thin and light with the usual polycarbonate backside and it certainly looks better than the rather chunky Lumia 530. Other tech specs and hands-on photos of the Lumia 535 are listed below:
- 1.2GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 processor
- 1GB of RAM
- 8GB storage + 15GB OneDrive + up to 128GB microSD
- 5-inch display with 540 x 960 pixel resolution, IPS, Corning Gorilla Glass 3, Sunlight Readability
- 5MP rear camera with LED flash + 5MP front camera with wide-angle lens
- 1905 mAh removable battery
- 140.2 x 72.4 x 8.8mm | 146g
- Supports dual-SIM
- Windows Phone 8.1 Lumia Denim
- RM429
Large, light and thin, the Lumia 535 seems more like a premium Lumia smartphone than one going for just RM429
The Lumia 535 will support dual SIM and come in black, cyan, orange and white
“Many people, especially the younger tech-involved audiences, aspire to own the latest flagship smartphone, but often don’t have the means to get it. With access to the best services right out of the box, including the latest Windows Phone 8.1 update, Lumia Denim, Lumia 535 Dual SIM helps people do more of what they want, for less.” Bruce Howe, General Manager, Microsoft Mobile Devices Sales for Malaysia, Singapore, and Brunei.
