Microsoft Devices Wednesday launched the Microsoft Lumia 535 in India priced at Rs.9,199, a company statement said on Wednesday.
It will be available in stores across the country starting Nov. 28. This is the first non-Nokia branded smartphone from the company.
“Microsoft is committed to delivering the power of everyday mobile technology to everyone through its devices and services such as OneDrive, Outlook, Skype, Bing, Outlook, MSN and Xbox Live which power them. The new Microsoft Lumia 535 sets the benchmark in bringing the best of the Windows Phone ecosystem at an accessible price point to consumers in India,” said Microsoft India chairman Bhaskar Pramanik.
The dual-SIM smartphone runs on the Windows Phone 8.1 and has five-inch screen and 1.2GHz quadcore Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 processor.
The Lumia 535 has 5MP camera in both front facing and rear.
“Younger tech-involved audiences are increasingly looking at an uncompromised experience on their smartphones. With access to the best services right out of the box at a price they can afford, we believe the Lumia 535 is an ideal solution to offer young India,” said Nokia India Sales Pvt Ltd (a subsidiary of Microsoft Mobile Oy) managing director Ajey Mehta.
