Announce over the weekend that today Microsoft would unveil its newest device, the Lumia without the Nokia brand. Well, the smartphone was officially presented and baptized as “Lumia 535”, destined for developing markets, this Smartphone will cost approximately 140 USD and will be launched initially in China, Hong Kong and Bangladesh.
The specifications of the Lumia 535 are quite similar to those of previous releases although with some major changes, starting with the front camera, which Microsoft has excluded from its mid-cost smartphones, the Lumia 535 will have. The processor is 1,2 GHz quad-core and 1 GB RAM. As for storage space, 8 GB of memory will be available on the device, which can be expanded up to 128 GB using an external memory card.
One detail, Microsoft affectionately nicknamed this 5 X 5 5 Smartphone by the following:
- Screen Size: 5 inches
- Rear Camera: 5 MP
- Front Camera: 5 MP
We have already mentioned that the price is quite attractive, only 140 USD and will have Dual-SIM versions, which will attract emerging markets, as is the case in Angola. Remember that the Nokia X was officially sold in Angola, if the trend is maintained, we can have the Microsoft Lumia 535 here with a price of around 200 USD officially. Which is still an excellent price for a smartphone with these characteristics.
When it comes to top-of-the-line software (from Microsoft's point of view), these smartphones will Windows Phone 8.1 and will also receive the Lumia Denim update (which is a package of improvements to Windows Phone 8.1)

Very good!
And just to rectify, where it says “will come with Windows 8.1” maybe it meant “Windows Phone 8.1” 🙂
Certainly. A lapse promptly corrected. Thanks!
