“The Microsoft Lumia 535 has the potential to be a Lumia 520 replacement. Our review.” Windows Phone may have come a long way since it was first launched, but in terms of market share alone, it’s far behind Android and iOS internationally. In India though, the situation is different. While the mid-range and premium categories are dominated by Android (and even iOS now to a greater extent), Windows Phone-powered devices have set the cash registers ringing in the affordable price band. Local brands such as Micromax, Karbonn, Lava, XOLO and Celkon have been flocking to the platform ever since Microsoft completely waived off licensing fees. But the one that started it all – the Nokia Lumia 520 – continues to be one of the most successful smartphones, not just for WP, but for the budget segment as a whole. Nokia, and now Microsoft, have tried to cash in on that popularity over the years, with the Lumia 525 , Lumia 530 , Lumia 620 and Lumia 630 , to name a few. None of those devices garnered the same success, but with the Microsoft Lumia 535 , which also happens to be the first Lumia smartphone sans Nokia branding, Microsoft hopes to regain some of that lost market share. The handset was launched just a few weeks ago, and we’ve been testing it for a while now. Read on to see if it has what it takes to re-establish the Lumia series as a serious contender in the budget space.

Specs At A Glance Same Lumia, different branding Display that’s bigger, but not better Front camera outshines the rear Denim-clad Windows Phone 8.1 Smooth performance, with a few hiccups Verdict Price: Rs 9,199 Editors Rating: 7 / 10 Pros: Cons
Specs At A Glance 5-inch display, 960 x 540 pixels (220 ppi) 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 200 processor Adreno 302 GPU 1GB RAM 8GB internal storage with microSD card slot 5MP primary camera with LED flash, 5MP front camera Windows Phone 8.1 (Update 1) with Lumia Denim 1,905mAh battery Dual-SIM, 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS Short on time? Check out the Microsoft Lumia 535 review in pictures Same Lumia, different branding Apart from the Microsoft branding, the Lumia 535 can easily be mistaken for any other Nokia smartphone in the series. It’s available in the usual riot of colours like green, orange, black and white, although the cyan variant will unfortunately not be sold in India. The back panels extend over the sides, and are removable. Our green unit was glossy, and as you can imagine, is easily smudged. The orange variant is also shiny, but the white and black units sport a matte finish. if (!window.matchMedia('(min-width: 900px)').matches) { var googletag = googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; googletag.cmd.push(function() {googletag.defineSlot('/10578778/RB_300x250', [[200, 200], [250, 250], [300, 250]], 'div-gpt-ad-1558683453319-0_0').addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); }); document.write(""); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1558683453319-0_0'); }); document.write(""); } The Lumia 535 is larger than most budget and mid-range Lumias, thanks to its 5-inch display. Even the more premium Lumia 630 ( review ) sports a 4.5-inch screen. Above the display you’ll find a Microsoft logo, the front camera and earpiece. The sensors aren’t visible, but they’re somewhere in the vicinity. Since the Lumia 535 runs Windows Phone 8.1, it implements the hardware buttons as software overlays, instead of capacitive keys. if (window.matchMedia('(min-width: 900px)').matches) { var googletag = googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; googletag.cmd.push(function() {googletag.defineSlot('/10578778/Hub_RB_728x90', [728, 90], 'div-gpt-ad-1493810631751-0_0').addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); }); document.write(""); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1493810631751-0_0'); }); document.write(""); } The port and button placement is standard, with the audio jack on top, micro-USB port at the bottom, and volume rocker and power button on the right spine. The buttons don’t feel tacky, and offer a reassuring feedback when pressed. The back panel houses the primary camera with LED flash on top, a tiny speaker at the bottom, and more Microsoft branding in the centre. if (!window.matchMedia('(min-width: 900px)').matches) { var googletag = googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; googletag.cmd.push(function() {googletag.defineSlot('/10578778/RB_300x250', [[200, 200], [250, 250], [300, 250]], 'div-gpt-ad-1558683453319-0_1').addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); }); document.write(""); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1558683453319-0_1'); }); document.write(""); } The rear shell can be removed, exposing the user-replaceable battery, dual micro-SIM card slots and a microSD card slot. Weighing 146g and measuring 8.8mm in thickness, the Lumia 535 isn’t the slimmest or lightest device, but fits in the hand just fine thanks to its compact size. It feels solid and well built, a testament to Nokia’s hardware prowess that we’re glad Microsoft is continuing. Display that’s bigger, but not better So here’s what’s good about the Lumia 535’s display. At 5-inches, it’s very roomy, big enough to accommodate three columns of medium-sized live tiles. It gets a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 3 for protection. Unlike the Lumia 630, which is actually a higher end device, the 535 gets an ambient light sensor, for automatic brightness adjustment. Brightness levels are high, and the display is fairly legible in sunlight. if (window.matchMedia('(min-width: 900px)').matches) { var googletag = googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; googletag.cmd.push(function() {googletag.defineSlot('/10578778/Hub_RB_728x90', [728, 90], 'div-gpt-ad-1493810631751-0_1').addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); }); document.write(""); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1493810631751-0_1'); }); document.write(""); } Now for the bad. The resolution of the display is qHD, which is 960 x 540 pixels. Considering the phone’s price, and the size of the screen, we felt that Microsoft made an unnecessary compromise here. HD resolutions are becoming commonplace on most budget Android smartphones, many of which are much cheaper than the Lumia 535. As a result of the resolution, the display isn’t very sharp, with visible pixelation in text. It’s also fairly reflective. But our main concern with the display has to do with its responsiveness. More often than not, the screen is slow and sluggish, and this evident even in simple actions. We’ve been hearing reports that Microsoft is planning to release a software update to fix this issue, but we’re still waiting for an official confirmation. Front camera outshines the rear if (!window.matchMedia('(min-width: 900px)').matches) { var googletag = googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; googletag.cmd.push(function() {googletag.defineSlot('/10578778/RB_300x250', [[200, 200], [250, 250], [300, 250]], 'div-gpt-ad-1558683453319-0_2').addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); }); document.write(""); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1558683453319-0_2'); }); document.write(""); } The cameras are one of the main highlights of the Lumia 535. The rear snapper with its 5MP resolution doesn’t raise any eyebrows, although the presence of an LED flash is a welcome addition, one we don’t normally see on affordable Lumia handsets. The front camera though, is the real star. The Lumia 535 is one of the rare budget handsets in the series to actually sport a front camera, and Microsoft hasn’t made do with the bare-minimum VGA resolution. The device is equipped with a 5MP wide-angle shooter, designed to get more people into the frame. The results are some of the best we’ve come across in this price band, outdoing even some high-end smartphones. The fixed-focus lens is admittedly a weakness, but nevertheless, the camera captures sharp, vibrant photos, without sacrificing detail on subjects in the background or those towards the far edges of the frame. Skin tones look very attractive, and the camera has a way of brightening faces to make them stand out. The rear camera is average at best, producing usable daylight shots, but giving us noisy results in low light. It tends to over-expose images to deliver brighter-than-usual results, but in the process, loses out on sharpness and detail. Instead of the usual Nokia Camera app, the Lumia 535 gets the rebranded Lumia Camera , which is essentially the same setup. It’s a bit sluggish as always, but not as bad as before. Swiping outwards from the shutter button brings up sliding controls for white balance, ISO, exposure and manual focus. There’s also another camera app pre-loaded on the smartphone, and this one’s called Lumia Selfie . The name is a clear indication of what it offers. You can use either the front or rear camera to take a snap, with the option of enabling a short timer. Once you’re done shooting, you can crop the image to the desired aspect ratio, apply a range of effects and save or share it. Alternatively, you can import any photo from your gallery to use the effects. There’s also an Auto Selfie mode, which automatically enhances photos when enabled. if (window.matchMedia('(min-width: 900px)').matches) { var googletag = googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; googletag.cmd.push(function() {googletag.defineSlot('/10578778/Hub_RB_728x90', [728, 90], 'div-gpt-ad-1493810631751-0_2').addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); }); document.write(""); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1493810631751-0_2'); }); document.write(""); } For more details, check out our Microsoft Lumia 535 camera review Here are some image samples from the Lumia 535’s cameras. Click on the thumbnails to view them in full resolution. if (!window.matchMedia('(min-width: 900px)').matches) { var googletag = googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; googletag.cmd.push(function() {googletag.defineSlot('/10578778/RB_300x250', [[200, 200], [250, 250], [300, 250]], 'div-gpt-ad-1558683453319-0_3').addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); }); document.write(""); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1558683453319-0_3'); }); document.write(""); } Denim-clad Windows Phone 8.1 The Lumia 535 runs Windows Phone 8.1, along with the Denim update, which integrates Update 1. This brings a handful of new features, such as support for app folders, customisable snooze alarms, the addition of Cortana in the UK and China, and other improvements. if (window.matchMedia('(min-width: 900px)').matches) { var googletag = googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; googletag.cmd.push(function() {googletag.defineSlot('/10578778/Hub_RB_728x90', [728, 90], 'div-gpt-ad-1493810631751-0_3').addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); }); document.write(""); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1493810631751-0_3'); }); document.write(""); } Lumia Denim on its own includes a faster and improved Lumia Camera app, Moment Capture with 4K video recording, Rich Capture to enhance HDR performance, and improved low light performace. Unfortunately, most of these features are only available on higher end Lumias like the 830, 930 and 1520. Windows Phone 8.1 brought several key changes to the operating system, prime among a drop-down notification bar, christened the Action Center . From here, you can swipe to clear individual notifications, or choose to delete them all in one go. There are also four quick toggles on top to control Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, the camera and brightness. In settings, you can customise which toggles you want displayed here. Another big change is the ability to add a background image to the start screen, which is displayed through selected transparent tiles. Microsoft’s voice assistant Cortana, which is currently unavailable in India, also made its debut in WP 8.1. There is a simple workaround to enable it, which we’ve detailed in our Lumia 630 review. There are also several other features, such as separate volume controls for notifications and media, Quiet Hours, Find my Phone, Internet Explorer 11, to name a few. As far as the pre-loaded apps go, as always there are a quite a few to deal with. The third-party apps alone include 21 Cineplex , BBM , Facebook , Momento , LINE , Twitter and Path . There are quite a few from Microsoft, including Skype , OneDrive , OneNote , Outlook , Office , Games , etc. All of the Nokia branded apps now get Lumia branding, including Lumia Camera , Lumia Selfie and Lumia Storyteller . There’s also MixRadio , which is one of our favourite music apps, letting you download ‘mixes’ of your favourite artists for free, and listen to them offline. HERE Maps and HERE Drive+ are present for navigation, while App Social helps you discover apps. Our only gripe with the UI is the navigation bar, which is hidden by default on the Lumia 535. You have to swipe up from the bottom to view or hide it, which is a pain, and often ends up activating other buttons on the screen. You can disable this option in settings, but it’s not easy to find. Interestingly, we found that if the auto hide/show option for the navigation bar is disabled, this tends to improve the touch sensitivity of the display. While the Lumia 535 does support Double Tap to Wake, other software tweaks like the Glance Screen and Motion Data are missing. Smooth performance, with a few hiccups The Lumia 535 is powered by a 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 200 processor. Windows Phone has been optimised to function efficiently on less horsepower, but even so, Microsoft has doubled the usual 512MB of RAM to a respectable 1GB. The increased memory also means that the Lumia 535 can now play all games in the Windows Phone Store, some of which required a minimum RAM of 1GB to work. Overall, the performance is smooth sailing, fine for daily use, and supporting multi-tasking and most apps without any crashes. Games like Beach Buggy Racing and Asphalt Overdrive play without any glitches or lags. The sluggish touch response we mentioned earlier continues to be a concern until it’s rectified. It’s worth noting that the Lumia 535 isn’t able to play HD videos well, with stutters and freezes marring the experience. This is because Microsoft has limited support for some 720p codecs on the Snapdragon 200 SoC. At a time when HD resolution is becoming the norm for videos, this decision by Microsoft seems baffling. As far as storage goes, Microsoft has been quite generous, equipping the Lumia 535 with 8GB of internal memory. There’s around 3.3GB available to use on a fresh reboot, with an option for further expansion up to 128GB via microSD. The smartphone’s 1,905mAh battery is average in capacity, but in real life usage, it easily lasts until the end of the day with moderate to heavy usage. Notably, standby times are excellent. The Battery Saver option in settings lets you enable a power saving mode to eke out more power. Like the Lumia 630, the dual-SIM 535 gets a dedicated SIM management area, where you can specify a SIM card for data services. There are dedicated live tiles for calls and messages for each, and you can use the handy toggles to switch between them in the dialer and messaging apps. The Lumia 635 supports 3G in both SIMs, but 4G is absent. Other connectivity features include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, A-GPS and GLONASS. Verdict For its first device without Nokia’s trusted branding, the Microsoft Lumia 535 is a decent effort. It’s managed to set a new benchmark among affordable Lumias, which until now, featured mediocre specifications at best. It gets a bigger screen, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of storage, an LED flash and a good front camera. The only let down is the display, which should have had a higher resolution, and been more responsive. Unfortunately for Microsoft, Android OEMs have changed our perception of value for money. At its price of Rs 9,199, the Lumia 535 feels overpriced for what it offers. There are so many better Android options in its price range, such as the Xiaomi Redmi Note , ASUS Zenfone 5 , and Huawei Honor Holly . That said, if you’re a Windows Phone fan, the Lumia 535 seems like the first worthy upgrade over the Lumia 520, and one you should definitely consider. Price: Rs 9,199 Editors Rating: 7 / 10 Pros: 1GB of RAM Large screen Generous storage Great front camera Cons Display gets only qHD resolution Touch responsiveness is faulty Overpriced

“The Lumia 640 XL brings a big-screen experience to Windows Phone users. Our review.” Phablet. It might be one of the most cringe-worthy terms to have ever been coined by humanity, but that hasn’t stopped it from becoming a sensation in the smartphone world. These big-screen smartphones are all the rage now, with every Android manufacturer worth its salt having several options across price ranges. Even Apple, which stoically refused to be part of this trend gave up last year, and launched the iPhone 6 Plus. But Windows Phone users have sadly been left out of the game. Apart from the dated Nokia Lumia 1520 and Lumia 1320 , there has been virtually no choice for those looking for a large-screen WP smartphone experience. With the Lumia 640 XL , Microsoft is looking to change that. Announced alongside the smaller Lumia 640 at MWC this year, the handset recently went on sale in India targeting the mid-range segment. Will the Lumia 640 XL be the phablet of every Windows Phone user’s dreams? Our review has the answer.

Specs At A Glance Classic Lumia in a bigger guise Big on size, small on pixels Cameras that don’t disappoint WP 8.1 packed with bloatware Reliable performer Verdict Editor’s Rating: 7 / 10 Price: Rs 15,799 Pros: Cons:
Specs At A Glance 5.7-inch display, 1,280 x 720 pixels (259 ppi) 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor Adreno 305 GPU 1GB RAM 8GB internal storage, expandable up to 128GB 13MP primary camera with LED flash, 5MP front camera Windows Phone 8.1 (Update 2) with Lumia Denim 3,000mAh battery Dual-SIM, 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, NFC, GPS and micro-USB 2.0 Classic Lumia in a bigger guise Microsoft hasn’t tampered much with Nokia’s design philosophy, and the 640 XL is quintessentially Lumia in every way. It features sharp edges and rounded corners, and comes in the usual array of colours like black, white, orange and the sorely missed cyan. Thanks to its 5.7-inch display, the Lumia 640 XL is very big, even for a phablet. It’s almost impossible to use with one hand, and the ample bezels above and below the screen add to its height, making it awkward to access the top half of the screen. Like most recent Lumias, the 640 XL features an onscreen navigation bar. It disappears while using apps, but you can always swipe up from the bottom to bring it up again. if (!window.matchMedia('(min-width: 900px)').matches) { var googletag = googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; googletag.cmd.push(function() {googletag.defineSlot('/10578778/RB_300x250', [[200, 200], [250, 250], [300, 250]], 'div-gpt-ad-1558683453319-0_0').addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); }); document.write(""); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1558683453319-0_0'); }); document.write(""); } if (window.matchMedia('(min-width: 900px)').matches) { var googletag = googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; googletag.cmd.push(function() {googletag.defineSlot('/10578778/Hub_RB_728x90', [728, 90], 'div-gpt-ad-1493810631751-0_0').addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); }); document.write(""); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1493810631751-0_0'); }); document.write(""); } Above the display you’ll find the front camera, sensors, earpiece and Microsoft logo. The top edge is home to the 3.5mm audio jack, while the bottom holds the micro-USB port. The volume buttons and power are on the right spine, with the latter placed at the centre for easy access. The plastic used for the back panel is of a superior quality, and our black unit came in a matte finish. Despite this, it still tends to pick up smudges easily, and it looks worse on the glossy cyan and orange variants. The top of the back panel is where you’ll find the large primary camera, LED flash and single loudspeaker. Microsoft branding is present in the centre. if (!window.matchMedia('(min-width: 900px)').matches) { var googletag = googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; googletag.cmd.push(function() {googletag.defineSlot('/10578778/RB_300x250', [[200, 200], [250, 250], [300, 250]], 'div-gpt-ad-1558683453319-0_1').addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); }); document.write(""); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1558683453319-0_1'); }); document.write(""); } The camera protrudes slightly, but is protected by a raised bump around the edges. The back panel can be easily opened to reveal the removable 3,000mAh battery, dual micro-SIM card slots and the microSD card slot. Big on size, small on pixels At 5.7-inches, the Lumia 640 XL’s display is large – even for a phablet. Pair that with the HD resolution and it translates into a measly pixel density of 259ppi. At first glance the display seems sharp enough, but you can tell that it doesn’t have the clarity of the Lumia 640. Zooming in often reveals text with jagged edges and pixelated images. The display comes equipped with ClearBlack technology, which helps to reduce reflections and improve legibility outdoors. While we found the screen to be quite reflective under artificial lighting, its performance in bright sunlight was exemplary. Brightness levels are quite high, and we often turned off the auto brightness in favour of the low brightness setting. A layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protects the screen from scratches. if (!window.matchMedia('(min-width: 900px)').matches) { var googletag = googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; googletag.cmd.push(function() {googletag.defineSlot('/10578778/RB_300x250', [[200, 200], [250, 250], [300, 250]], 'div-gpt-ad-1558683453319-0_2').addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); }); document.write(""); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1558683453319-0_2'); }); document.write(""); } In settings, you can adjust the display’s colour profile. We prefer it set to standard, but if you like the more saturated AMOLED–like colours you can enable the vivid mode. Another handy addition to the display is double-tap-to-wake. Unlike previous affordable Lumias, the 640 XL also comes with Glance Screen , a battery-friendly feature that displays the time and missed notifications when the phone is in standby. if (window.matchMedia('(min-width: 900px)').matches) { var googletag = googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; googletag.cmd.push(function() {googletag.defineSlot('/10578778/Hub_RB_728x90', [728, 90], 'div-gpt-ad-1493810631751-0_1').addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); }); document.write(""); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1493810631751-0_1'); }); document.write(""); } Cameras that don’t disappoint The Lumia 640 XL features a 13MP snapper with ZEISS optics and an LED flash at the rear, and a 5MP camera in the front. The primary camera shoots in full resolution when the aspect ratio is set to 4:3. If you want widescreen 16:9 images, the resolution is lowered to 10MP. The Lumia Camera app is a standard affair. You can swipe outward from the shutter button to bring up adjustable sliders for focus, ISO, shutter speed and white balance. On top you’ll find controls to switch between cameras, turn on the flash and enable Rich Capture . The Rich Capture feature is a particular favourite, capturing multiple images when you press the shutter button and letting you make edits later. When flash is turned off, Auto HDR is enabled. The camera captures a natural image, one with HDR and one without. You can also use the slider to customise the intensity of HDR to your liking. Turning on the flash with Rich Capture will enable Dynamic Flash . The camera will then capture one image with flash and one without. Here too, you can adjust the flash intensity in edit mode. The only downside to using Rich Capture is the processing time – it’s anywhere between 15-20 seconds which can be agonisingly long when you want to quickly review results. Another feature which can be enabled in settings is Living Images , which captures a few seconds of video footage before you press the shutter button. Additionally, you can also download a range of lenses for the app. Lumia Selfie and Lumia Refocus are installed by default. Coming to the results, the primary camera is a surprisingly accomplished shooter. It takes lovely images in daylight, with good contrast levels and natural colour reproduction. What’s even more impressive is its low-light performance. Even in a dark environment, results look surprisingly well lit (we suspect the camera’s ISO automatically kicks in), with noise levels kept to a minimum. The front camera is good enough for selfies, and you can get more people into the frame by enabling the widescreen mode. if (!window.matchMedia('(min-width: 900px)').matches) { var googletag = googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; googletag.cmd.push(function() {googletag.defineSlot('/10578778/RB_300x250', [[200, 200], [250, 250], [300, 250]], 'div-gpt-ad-1558683453319-0_3').addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); }); document.write(""); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1558683453319-0_3'); }); document.write(""); } For more details, check out our Microsoft Lumia 640 XL camera review Here are some image samples from the 640 XL’s primary camera. if (window.matchMedia('(min-width: 900px)').matches) { var googletag = googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; googletag.cmd.push(function() {googletag.defineSlot('/10578778/Hub_RB_728x90', [728, 90], 'div-gpt-ad-1493810631751-0_2').addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); }); document.write(""); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1493810631751-0_2'); }); document.write(""); } WP 8.1 packed with bloatware The Lumia 640 XL runs Windows Phone 8.1 Update 2 with Lumia Denim. An update to Windows 10 will be available later this year. WP 8.1 Update 2 tries to fix Windows Phone’s dismal settings menu by sorting different items according to function like personalisation, accounts, system, etc. Clicking on any of the group heads shows you all the categories in a list, making it easier to navigate. Settings are also searchable now thanks to the addition of a search button at the bottom. Additionally, you can pin an individual setting to the homescreen for easy access. The only other major addition in Update 2 is App Permissions . By going into this setting, you can control which apps have access to your calendar, camera, contacts, messages and microphone. if (window.matchMedia('(min-width: 900px)').matches) { var googletag = googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; googletag.cmd.push(function() {googletag.defineSlot('/10578778/Hub_RB_728x90', [728, 90], 'div-gpt-ad-1493810631751-0_3').addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); }); document.write(""); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1493810631751-0_3'); }); document.write(""); } Other Windows Phone 8.1 features are standard. You can add a background image to your homescreen, as well as create app folders. Microsoft’s virtual voice-assistant Cortana is still unavailable for India, but you can easily enable it by changing your speech settings to English UK. We’ve complained about Android smartphones coming loaded with bloatware, but the Lumia 640 XL is just, well… bloated. Among the pre-loaded apps on the phone, we found BookMyShow, Fitbit , Foodpanda , MakeMyTrip , MobiKwik , MixRadio , OlaCabs and WeChat . Thankfully, most of these can be removed. The other standard additions like HERE Drive+ , HERE Maps , Office , OneDrive , Skype and our favourite MixRadio are also present. Reliable performer The Lumia 640 XL is powered by the slightly dated Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor, consisting of four Cortex-A7 cores clocked at 1.2GHz. The chipset is assisted by 1GB of RAM, and packs in an Adreno 305 GPU. The handset works smoothly for most tasks like email, social networking, gaming and watching videos. However, there are noticeable lags when multi-tasking and opening apps, so it’s not exactly zippy. The large screen makes it ideal for gaming, although it’s annoying that if you choose to keep the virtual controls on, they cover part of the screen, often hampering the gaming experience. Unlike previous budget Lumias powered by the Snapdragon 200 chip, the 640 XL can play 720p videos without any hiccups, which is a big improvement. The tiny mono speaker is surprisingly loud, but sound tends to get muffled when the phone is placed flat down on a surface. We tested a few games on it, and titles like Beach Buggy Racing played smoothly without any lags or freezes. With more intensive titles like Asphalt 8: Airborne we experienced a few frame drops and cracks in the audio. The 640 XL features SensorCore technology, which first debuted with the Lumia 630 . SensorCore is designed to work with Qualcomm chipsets, collecting data like steps, motion, distance, location and time from the various sensors without affecting battery life. By going into Motion Data in settings, you can see which apps are using SensorCore to collect information. In our case, it was MSN Health & Fitness and Fitbit . On the storage front, the 640 XL offers 8GB of internal storage, out of which just 3.62GB is free to use on a fresh reboot. The storage is expandable up to 128GB though, and Windows Phone lets you install apps from/to the SD card so you don’t need to worry about running out of space. Fuelling the smartphone is an ample 3,000mAh battery. On a day with regular usage, involving an hour or so of calls, WhatsApp, Facebook and Twitter usage, as well as listening to MixRadio , we still had about 30 percent of battery remaining by the end. You should be able to comfortably use the phone for an entire day without requiring a recharge. Call quality was loud and clear on both ends, without any network drops. On the connectivity front, the 640 XL offers Wi-Fi 802.11, DLNA, Wi-Fi Hotspot, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC, A-GPS, GLONASS and USB 2.0. The phone supports 3G on both SIM card slots, but 4G is unfortunately absent. Microsoft claims all its Lumia phones are ‘4G ready’, but it’s still unclear what that means. For those keen on 4G connectivity, we suggest you wait for the Lumia 640 XL LTE which is expected to be launched in India soon. Verdict On its own, the Lumia 640 XL is a capable device – it’s reliable, functional and no-nonsense, and should be adequate for most casual users. The addition of more premium Lumia features like Glance Screen, Rich Capture and SensorCore add to its appeal. But when you pit it against the Android competition, it becomes hard to recommend. At its price of Rs 15,799, it’s overpriced by a mile. Devices like the Honor 4x ( review ), Xiaomi Redmi Note 4G ( review ), YU Yureka ( review ) and Lenovo A7000 ( first impressions ) all offer similar, if not better specifications, and are priced under Rs 10,000. However, if you’re keen on a Windows Phone device and have been waiting for a large-screen smartphone, the Lumia 640 XL is currently your best, and only option. Editor’s Rating: 7 / 10 Price: Rs 15,799 Pros: Large display Good cameras Long battery life Cons: Display sharpness is a tad low No 4G support Overpriced considering the competition

“The Microsoft Lumia 535 has the potential to be a Lumia 520 replacement. Our review.” Windows Phone may have come a long way since it was first launched, but in terms of market share alone, it’s far behind Android and iOS internationally. In India though, the situation is different. While the mid-range and premium categories are dominated by Android (and even iOS now to a greater extent), Windows Phone-powered devices have set the cash registers ringing in the affordable price band. Local brands such as Micromax, Karbonn, Lava, XOLO and Celkon have been flocking to the platform ever since Microsoft completely waived off licensing fees. But the one that started it all – the Nokia Lumia 520 – continues to be one of the most successful smartphones, not just for WP, but for the budget segment as a whole. Nokia, and now Microsoft, have tried to cash in on that popularity over the years, with the Lumia 525 , Lumia 530 , Lumia 620 and Lumia 630 , to name a few. None of those devices garnered the same success, but with the Microsoft Lumia 535 , which also happens to be the first Lumia smartphone sans Nokia branding, Microsoft hopes to regain some of that lost market share. The handset was launched just a few weeks ago, and we’ve been testing it for a while now. Read on to see if it has what it takes to re-establish the Lumia series as a serious contender in the budget space.

Specs At A Glance Same Lumia, different branding Display that’s bigger, but not better Front camera outshines the rear Denim-clad Windows Phone 8.1 Smooth performance, with a few hiccups Verdict Price: Rs 9,199 Editors Rating: 7 / 10 Pros: Cons
Specs At A Glance 5-inch display, 960 x 540 pixels (220 ppi) 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 200 processor Adreno 302 GPU 1GB RAM 8GB internal storage with microSD card slot 5MP primary camera with LED flash, 5MP front camera Windows Phone 8.1 (Update 1) with Lumia Denim 1,905mAh battery Dual-SIM, 3G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS Short on time? Check out the Microsoft Lumia 535 review in pictures Same Lumia, different branding Apart from the Microsoft branding, the Lumia 535 can easily be mistaken for any other Nokia smartphone in the series. It’s available in the usual riot of colours like green, orange, black and white, although the cyan variant will unfortunately not be sold in India. The back panels extend over the sides, and are removable. Our green unit was glossy, and as you can imagine, is easily smudged. The orange variant is also shiny, but the white and black units sport a matte finish. if (!window.matchMedia('(min-width: 900px)').matches) { var googletag = googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; googletag.cmd.push(function() {googletag.defineSlot('/10578778/RB_300x250', [[200, 200], [250, 250], [300, 250]], 'div-gpt-ad-1558683453319-0_0').addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); }); document.write(""); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1558683453319-0_0'); }); document.write(""); } The Lumia 535 is larger than most budget and mid-range Lumias, thanks to its 5-inch display. Even the more premium Lumia 630 ( review ) sports a 4.5-inch screen. Above the display you’ll find a Microsoft logo, the front camera and earpiece. The sensors aren’t visible, but they’re somewhere in the vicinity. Since the Lumia 535 runs Windows Phone 8.1, it implements the hardware buttons as software overlays, instead of capacitive keys. if (window.matchMedia('(min-width: 900px)').matches) { var googletag = googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; googletag.cmd.push(function() {googletag.defineSlot('/10578778/Hub_RB_728x90', [728, 90], 'div-gpt-ad-1493810631751-0_0').addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); }); document.write(""); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1493810631751-0_0'); }); document.write(""); } The port and button placement is standard, with the audio jack on top, micro-USB port at the bottom, and volume rocker and power button on the right spine. The buttons don’t feel tacky, and offer a reassuring feedback when pressed. The back panel houses the primary camera with LED flash on top, a tiny speaker at the bottom, and more Microsoft branding in the centre. if (!window.matchMedia('(min-width: 900px)').matches) { var googletag = googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; googletag.cmd.push(function() {googletag.defineSlot('/10578778/RB_300x250', [[200, 200], [250, 250], [300, 250]], 'div-gpt-ad-1558683453319-0_1').addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); }); document.write(""); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1558683453319-0_1'); }); document.write(""); } The rear shell can be removed, exposing the user-replaceable battery, dual micro-SIM card slots and a microSD card slot. Weighing 146g and measuring 8.8mm in thickness, the Lumia 535 isn’t the slimmest or lightest device, but fits in the hand just fine thanks to its compact size. It feels solid and well built, a testament to Nokia’s hardware prowess that we’re glad Microsoft is continuing. Display that’s bigger, but not better So here’s what’s good about the Lumia 535’s display. At 5-inches, it’s very roomy, big enough to accommodate three columns of medium-sized live tiles. It gets a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass 3 for protection. Unlike the Lumia 630, which is actually a higher end device, the 535 gets an ambient light sensor, for automatic brightness adjustment. Brightness levels are high, and the display is fairly legible in sunlight. if (window.matchMedia('(min-width: 900px)').matches) { var googletag = googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; googletag.cmd.push(function() {googletag.defineSlot('/10578778/Hub_RB_728x90', [728, 90], 'div-gpt-ad-1493810631751-0_1').addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); }); document.write(""); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1493810631751-0_1'); }); document.write(""); } Now for the bad. The resolution of the display is qHD, which is 960 x 540 pixels. Considering the phone’s price, and the size of the screen, we felt that Microsoft made an unnecessary compromise here. HD resolutions are becoming commonplace on most budget Android smartphones, many of which are much cheaper than the Lumia 535. As a result of the resolution, the display isn’t very sharp, with visible pixelation in text. It’s also fairly reflective. But our main concern with the display has to do with its responsiveness. More often than not, the screen is slow and sluggish, and this evident even in simple actions. We’ve been hearing reports that Microsoft is planning to release a software update to fix this issue, but we’re still waiting for an official confirmation. Front camera outshines the rear if (!window.matchMedia('(min-width: 900px)').matches) { var googletag = googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; googletag.cmd.push(function() {googletag.defineSlot('/10578778/RB_300x250', [[200, 200], [250, 250], [300, 250]], 'div-gpt-ad-1558683453319-0_2').addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); }); document.write(""); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1558683453319-0_2'); }); document.write(""); } The cameras are one of the main highlights of the Lumia 535. The rear snapper with its 5MP resolution doesn’t raise any eyebrows, although the presence of an LED flash is a welcome addition, one we don’t normally see on affordable Lumia handsets. The front camera though, is the real star. The Lumia 535 is one of the rare budget handsets in the series to actually sport a front camera, and Microsoft hasn’t made do with the bare-minimum VGA resolution. The device is equipped with a 5MP wide-angle shooter, designed to get more people into the frame. The results are some of the best we’ve come across in this price band, outdoing even some high-end smartphones. The fixed-focus lens is admittedly a weakness, but nevertheless, the camera captures sharp, vibrant photos, without sacrificing detail on subjects in the background or those towards the far edges of the frame. Skin tones look very attractive, and the camera has a way of brightening faces to make them stand out. The rear camera is average at best, producing usable daylight shots, but giving us noisy results in low light. It tends to over-expose images to deliver brighter-than-usual results, but in the process, loses out on sharpness and detail. Instead of the usual Nokia Camera app, the Lumia 535 gets the rebranded Lumia Camera , which is essentially the same setup. It’s a bit sluggish as always, but not as bad as before. Swiping outwards from the shutter button brings up sliding controls for white balance, ISO, exposure and manual focus. There’s also another camera app pre-loaded on the smartphone, and this one’s called Lumia Selfie . The name is a clear indication of what it offers. You can use either the front or rear camera to take a snap, with the option of enabling a short timer. Once you’re done shooting, you can crop the image to the desired aspect ratio, apply a range of effects and save or share it. Alternatively, you can import any photo from your gallery to use the effects. There’s also an Auto Selfie mode, which automatically enhances photos when enabled. if (window.matchMedia('(min-width: 900px)').matches) { var googletag = googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; googletag.cmd.push(function() {googletag.defineSlot('/10578778/Hub_RB_728x90', [728, 90], 'div-gpt-ad-1493810631751-0_2').addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); }); document.write(""); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1493810631751-0_2'); }); document.write(""); } For more details, check out our Microsoft Lumia 535 camera review Here are some image samples from the Lumia 535’s cameras. Click on the thumbnails to view them in full resolution. if (!window.matchMedia('(min-width: 900px)').matches) { var googletag = googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; googletag.cmd.push(function() {googletag.defineSlot('/10578778/RB_300x250', [[200, 200], [250, 250], [300, 250]], 'div-gpt-ad-1558683453319-0_3').addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); }); document.write(""); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1558683453319-0_3'); }); document.write(""); } Denim-clad Windows Phone 8.1 The Lumia 535 runs Windows Phone 8.1, along with the Denim update, which integrates Update 1. This brings a handful of new features, such as support for app folders, customisable snooze alarms, the addition of Cortana in the UK and China, and other improvements. if (window.matchMedia('(min-width: 900px)').matches) { var googletag = googletag || {}; googletag.cmd = googletag.cmd || []; googletag.cmd.push(function() {googletag.defineSlot('/10578778/Hub_RB_728x90', [728, 90], 'div-gpt-ad-1493810631751-0_3').addService(googletag.pubads()); googletag.pubads().enableSingleRequest(); googletag.pubads().collapseEmptyDivs(); googletag.enableServices(); }); document.write(""); googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1493810631751-0_3'); }); document.write(""); } Lumia Denim on its own includes a faster and improved Lumia Camera app, Moment Capture with 4K video recording, Rich Capture to enhance HDR performance, and improved low light performace. Unfortunately, most of these features are only available on higher end Lumias like the 830, 930 and 1520. Windows Phone 8.1 brought several key changes to the operating system, prime among a drop-down notification bar, christened the Action Center . From here, you can swipe to clear individual notifications, or choose to delete them all in one go. There are also four quick toggles on top to control Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, the camera and brightness. In settings, you can customise which toggles you want displayed here. Another big change is the ability to add a background image to the start screen, which is displayed through selected transparent tiles. Microsoft’s voice assistant Cortana, which is currently unavailable in India, also made its debut in WP 8.1. There is a simple workaround to enable it, which we’ve detailed in our Lumia 630 review. There are also several other features, such as separate volume controls for notifications and media, Quiet Hours, Find my Phone, Internet Explorer 11, to name a few. As far as the pre-loaded apps go, as always there are a quite a few to deal with. The third-party apps alone include 21 Cineplex , BBM , Facebook , Momento , LINE , Twitter and Path . There are quite a few from Microsoft, including Skype , OneDrive , OneNote , Outlook , Office , Games , etc. All of the Nokia branded apps now get Lumia branding, including Lumia Camera , Lumia Selfie and Lumia Storyteller . There’s also MixRadio , which is one of our favourite music apps, letting you download ‘mixes’ of your favourite artists for free, and listen to them offline. HERE Maps and HERE Drive+ are present for navigation, while App Social helps you discover apps. Our only gripe with the UI is the navigation bar, which is hidden by default on the Lumia 535. You have to swipe up from the bottom to view or hide it, which is a pain, and often ends up activating other buttons on the screen. You can disable this option in settings, but it’s not easy to find. Interestingly, we found that if the auto hide/show option for the navigation bar is disabled, this tends to improve the touch sensitivity of the display. While the Lumia 535 does support Double Tap to Wake, other software tweaks like the Glance Screen and Motion Data are missing. Smooth performance, with a few hiccups The Lumia 535 is powered by a 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 200 processor. Windows Phone has been optimised to function efficiently on less horsepower, but even so, Microsoft has doubled the usual 512MB of RAM to a respectable 1GB. The increased memory also means that the Lumia 535 can now play all games in the Windows Phone Store, some of which required a minimum RAM of 1GB to work. Overall, the performance is smooth sailing, fine for daily use, and supporting multi-tasking and most apps without any crashes. Games like Beach Buggy Racing and Asphalt Overdrive play without any glitches or lags. The sluggish touch response we mentioned earlier continues to be a concern until it’s rectified. It’s worth noting that the Lumia 535 isn’t able to play HD videos well, with stutters and freezes marring the experience. This is because Microsoft has limited support for some 720p codecs on the Snapdragon 200 SoC. At a time when HD resolution is becoming the norm for videos, this decision by Microsoft seems baffling. As far as storage goes, Microsoft has been quite generous, equipping the Lumia 535 with 8GB of internal memory. There’s around 3.3GB available to use on a fresh reboot, with an option for further expansion up to 128GB via microSD. The smartphone’s 1,905mAh battery is average in capacity, but in real life usage, it easily lasts until the end of the day with moderate to heavy usage. Notably, standby times are excellent. The Battery Saver option in settings lets you enable a power saving mode to eke out more power. Like the Lumia 630, the dual-SIM 535 gets a dedicated SIM management area, where you can specify a SIM card for data services. There are dedicated live tiles for calls and messages for each, and you can use the handy toggles to switch between them in the dialer and messaging apps. The Lumia 635 supports 3G in both SIMs, but 4G is absent. Other connectivity features include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, A-GPS and GLONASS. Verdict For its first device without Nokia’s trusted branding, the Microsoft Lumia 535 is a decent effort. It’s managed to set a new benchmark among affordable Lumias, which until now, featured mediocre specifications at best. It gets a bigger screen, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of storage, an LED flash and a good front camera. The only let down is the display, which should have had a higher resolution, and been more responsive. Unfortunately for Microsoft, Android OEMs have changed our perception of value for money. At its price of Rs 9,199, the Lumia 535 feels overpriced for what it offers. There are so many better Android options in its price range, such as the Xiaomi Redmi Note , ASUS Zenfone 5 , and Huawei Honor Holly . That said, if you’re a Windows Phone fan, the Lumia 535 seems like the first worthy upgrade over the Lumia 520, and one you should definitely consider. Price: Rs 9,199 Editors Rating: 7 / 10 Pros: 1GB of RAM Large screen Generous storage Great front camera Cons Display gets only qHD resolution Touch responsiveness is faulty Overpriced
