Microsoft got everything right in this phone. I can confirm that the touch issue is completely fixed by Microsoft via the update and it’s now working perfectly fine. Mine was manufactured on 2nd Feb and may be they’ve fixed the issues for this new batch of devices.
1) Fantastic cameras, both front and rear
2) The big screen and the build feels light and solid. It’s as same as Nokia Lumia phones.
3) Lumia apps such as mix radio, Lumia camera rocks
4) Again touch feels fantastic and the screen is responsive as much as any phone.
5) As usual being a Windows Phone, there is no lag whatsoever. Feels fluid and fast.
6) Gorilla glass 3: Important reason to consider this mobile from others. It’s scratch resistant and sturdy.
Well, many more are there. If you’re looking for a fantastic smartphone experience at this range, look no further get the Lumia 535 and enjoy. Amazon did a fast delivery’. Will post about battery life in couple of days. Overall I’m fully satisfied with this device. Thank you Microsoft and Amazon.;)
Update: The battery lasts easily for one day with moderate-heavy usage. You can easily take it for two days if you use your phone for calling and texting. Gaming does consume a bit of juice faster but it is expected at this price range.I wish the battery was 2000mAH but it’s good as I said.Good thing is that you can play most of the games from the Store even the graphic intensive games like Asphalt 8. It doesn’t lag and that’s one more advantage of this phone. Again, I’m satisfied with this device:)
Update 2: I see many people saying that their screen getting magnified suddenly. That’s not a bug but a feature in all the Lumia phones and is called "Screen Magnifier". To disable it, open settings>ease of access>Screen Magnifier, toggle it to off. You will be done.
Also I installed the Windows Insider app and got Windows Phone 8.1 Update 2 which brings a improved Settings App, App permissions and double tap on the Navigation bar to sleep. It’s running smoothly without any bugs, try updating to this version on your own risk and understand that it may even take you to Windows 10 TP directly.
Here are some useful tips.
1) To make your battery last long, disable double tap to wake.
2) If you feel your Lumia Camera app takes around 2 seconds to load and you miss the best moment to click. Then you can use the default camera app which is not accessible in Lumia 535 from the app list. So to use it, open your Photos app>settings>Default Camera app, in that list select Microsoft Camera. Now open Settings>Notifications+actions, select the Camera in quick actions in any one of the four places. That’s it, now you can open Microsoft Camera app using the quick action shortcut, even from the Lock Screen so that your camera is ready anytime for you:D Enjoy.
Update 3: This phone will get Windows 10 Mobile in the first wave of the update:D. So keep calm and rejoice for owning the first Microsoft branded Lumia <3
