Microsoft launches Lumia 535 budget Windows phone for Rs 9,199

NEW DELHI: The Lumia 500 series of smartphones have always been aimed at budget conscious buyers. However with more and more Android budget smartphones coming with larger 5-inch displays, consumers were losing interest in Windows Phone devices. Microsoft aims to change that with the Lumia 535 - the company's first budget dual Sim smartphone with a 5-inch display and a 5MP front selfie camera. This is also the first smartphone to come with the Microsoft branding instead of Nokia.

The Lumia 535 features an all-plastic body and will come in bright attractive colours, now synonymous with Lumia phones. The 5-inch display has a resolution of 960 x 540 pixels and uses Gorilla Glass 3 for sturdiness. It runs the latest Windows Phone 8.1 on a quad core Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 processor coupled with 1GB RAM. Other hardware specifications include 8GB storage, microSD slot for expansion (up to 128GB supported) and a 1900mAh battery. You also get the usual 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity, accelerometer, ambient light sensor, GPS and proximity sensor.
