Lumia 535 sports a 5-inch qHD (960 x 540 pixels, 16:9) IPS made of Gorilla Glass 3 with capacitative touchscreen at resolution of 220ppi.

“With access to the best services right out of the box, including the latest Windows Phone 8.1 update, Lumia Denim, Dual SIM helps people do more of what they want, for less. It will also appeal particularly to those looking to graduate to smartphone use, and to an operating system that is both intuitive and deeply personal,” said Bruce Howe, General Manager, Microsoft Mobile Devices Sales for Singapore, Malaysia and Brunei.
The phablet is powered by a 1905mAh removable battery.
Although the front facing camera has five megapixels, the main camera at the rear has only five megapixels.
The front-facing camera has wide-angle fix focus FWVGA 864 x 480 for video recording & video playing.
The Lumia 535 Dual SIM also comes with pre-installed Windows Phone Lumia Denim.
This new system software introduces features such as Live Folders, that helps you keep your apps organized.
It also includes Consumer VPN, that helps you maintain privacy and security when using data while connected to public Wi-Fi hotspots or even with your home Wi-Fi.
The Lumia 535 Dual SIM will be retailing at Nokia Stores, Nokia Solution Partners and Amobile owned retail stores.
