Comparisons Featuring Microsoft Lumia 535 Dual SIM
Short Review
- The Microsoft Lumia 535 Dual SIM features a compact design with dimensions of 140.2 x 72.4 x 8.8 mm and a weight of 146 grams, available in multiple colors.
- Its 5.0-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 220 ppi.
- Performance is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 chipset with a quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 1GB of RAM, which is adequate for basic tasks.
- The camera system includes a 5 MP rear camera with autofocus and a 5 MP front-facing camera, both capable of capturing decent images, though video recording is limited to 480p at 30fps.
- The 1905 mAh battery provides moderate endurance but lacks fast or wireless charging capabilities.
- Running on Microsoft Windows Phone 8.1, the software experience is straightforward, though limited by the platform's app ecosystem.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, and microUSB 2.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The absence of stereo speakers may affect audio quality, but it does include a headphone jack.
- Overall, the Lumia 535 is a basic smartphone with essential features suitable for casual users.
