Microsoft Lumia 535 Set to Launch in India on November 26

[iSK]

Microsoft India on Friday sent invites
for an event scheduled on
Wednesday, where it is expected to
launch the first Microsoft-branded
smartphone, the Lumia 535.

The invite sent by the company
reads, "Five days to magic of triple
5." That, of course, is a pointer to
the "5x5x5" Microsoft Lumia 535.

Last week, the company had unveiled
the smartphone , saying, "the new
Microsoft Lumia 535, our "5x5x5"
smartphone package bringing a 5-
inch screen, 5-megapixel front- and
rear-facing camera, and free
integrated Microsoft experiences
(such as Skype and OneNote) to more
people at an affordable price."

The new Lumia smartphone from
Microsoft comes in two variants -
single SIM (with the same name) and
dual-SIM, called the Lumia 535 Dual
SIM. The handset is priced at EUR 110
(roughly Rs. 8,400) before taxes and
subsidies.

Both the Microsoft Lumia 535 and
Lumia 535 Dual SIM come with
identical specifications; except the
latter features dual-SIM support. The
smartphone runs Windows Phone 8.1
with Lumia Denim update and
features a 5-inch IPS LCD display
with a qHD (540x960 pixels)
resolution and a pixel density of
220ppi. It also sports Corning Gorilla
Glass 3 protection.

The Lumia 535 is powered by a quad-
core Qualcomm Snapdragon 200
processor clocked at 1.2GHz
alongside 1GB of RAM. There is 8GB
of built-in storage that is further
expandable via microSD card (up to
128GB). Much like other Lumia
handsets, the Lumia 535 and Lumia
535 Dual SIM also get 15GB of free
OneDrive cloud storage.

One of the highlight features of the
Lumia 535 is the 5-megapixel front-
facing camera, which is reminiscent
of the Lumia 730 and Lumia 735.
