Microsoft Lumia 535 Windows Phone Unboxing & Hands On Overview

The First Boot Experience of the Lumia 535 Windows Phone Device

The first boot experience of the Lumia 535 Windows Phone device took quite a bit of time, with an estimated duration of around 6 minutes. It was a slow process, but it finally loaded the Start screen, and the user can see that it's now up and running.

As you can navigate through the settings on this device, one of the first things you'll notice is how much space is available. With 8GB of storage, only 3.8GB is initially available to the user. However, the good news is that most apps can be directly moved to an SD card, making storage not a significant concern.

The Lumia 535 also comes with auto-brightness sensor, which is a standard feature on many modern devices. The device's buttons are slightly different from previous Windows Phone models, with the Windows button located at the bottom and the search button above it. This design change allows for a more streamlined user experience.

In terms of apps, some come pre-installed, such as Hayek Jabong and Mix Radio. These pre-installed apps add value to the device and provide users with something to use right out of the box. The Microsoft Office suite is also available, allowing users to access Word, Excel, and other productivity tools.

One notable feature of the Lumia 535 is its ability to resume from a closed state. This means that if you were using an app and then turned off your device or put it in sleep mode, you can quickly restart it and pick up where you left off. This functionality is available when holding down the back button for a few seconds, which takes you to the multitasking tray.

The dialer on the Lumia 535 is another standard feature that's included on many modern devices. As this device doesn't have a SIM card, we can only see the default settings, but it should be easily accessible once a SIM card is inserted.

The camera on the Lumia 535 is a 5MP shooter, which may not seem like a lot compared to some of the newer smartphones available in the market today. However, in terms of image quality and features, this camera performs well, even with some delay when taking photos. The front-facing camera is also 5MP, making it suitable for selfies.

Regarding the display, the Lumia 535 has a 5-inch screen with a qHD resolution of 540 x 960 pixels. This may seem like a relatively small screen, but the device's light weight and responsive touch interface make up for this, especially when using pinch-to-zoom to access larger content. The viewing angles on the display are decent but not exceptional.

Finally, let's take a look at the device's overall performance. In terms of web browsing, the Lumia 535 is capable of loading websites quickly, even with the default mobile setting. However, switching to desktop mode does improve the text rendering, making it easier to read and view content.

The weight and size of the Lumia 535 are noticeable features that set it apart from some other devices in its class. At first glance, the device may appear heavy, but upon picking it up, you'll realize how light it actually is, thanks to a clever design that keeps the phone's components internalized.
