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...
Abstract: "The Microsoft Lumia 535 is an attractive option in the budget Windows Phone category" Microsoft's first smartphone since it officially ditched the Nokia brand name isn't a high-end flagship, like you'd expect. Instead, it's an affordable device, the Lumi...
