Microsoft Lumia 435 is a budget-friendly device for consumers looking for a cost effective smartphone. It features a 4-inch display with 480 x 800 pixels resolution and come in single SIM and Dual SIM variants. Microsoft Lumia 435 promises a solid performance with 1GB of RAM and superfast internet on both SIMs.
Hardware & Software
Microsoft Lumia 435 comes with a 1.2GHz, dual-core Snapdragon 200 processor with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of memory storage. It also offers a microSD card slot that enable add 128GB of built-in storage. For those that enjoy using the cloud, the Lumia 435 also features 30GB of free cloud storage.
Microsoft Lumia 435 houses a 1,560 mAh battery that provides 21 days of standby time, 11.7 hours of 3G talk time, 64 hours of music playback time, 9.4 hours of Wi-Fi browsing, and 6.6 hours of video playback time.
The 9 hours of Wi-Fi browsing time is excellent for a device that’s meant to cater to the budget-friendly crowd, and, along with the 64 hours of music playback and 7 hours of video playback, makes the Lumia 435 a device that can get you through the day. To compare, Microsoft Lumia 435 features a similar battery size similar to Apple’s iPhone 6 (as distinguished from the 6 Plus) – the iPhone 6 having a 1,810mAh battery, which is slightly larger (250mAh increase).
Most of the tradeoff in the Lumia 435 happens to be in the camera department. The smartphone features a 0.3 megapixels front camera and a 2 megapixels back camera. A 0.3 megapixels front camera is not likely to impress that much, and the same can be said for the 2MP back camera.
However, the Microsoft Lumia 435 is the first entry-level Lumia phone to feature a front facing camera. Its forerunners like the Lumia 520 and Lumia 530 lacked front cameras. Perhaps Microsoft now wants to take Skype to the mass market as the Lumia 435’s front will support Skype video calls.
Microsoft Lumia 435 runs on Windows Phone 8.1. It features exchangeable back, double-tap-to-wake function, and Microsoft’s new Word flow keyboard, which should make for an enjoyable experience.
