Customer Review

I have the Lumia 532 is now about a week and I am very pleased overall.
Compared to my old Android (Samsung Xcover 2 of), it is much cheaper and I think it's better overall. Android I wanted anyway no longer, because after about six months of storage was trashed and you can not outsource to the SD card, the applications (at least not without root). This is the Windows Phone without problems.
Upon arrival, I was initially a little disappointed. The guidance from Microsoft to open the housing is not practical in my eyes. But help YouTube videos that demonstrate a relentless full versions for housing opening. Under no circumstances should use tools such as a screwdriver. Because Microsoft should have to worry about a better guide. I'm sure that many people have the device already returned therefore.
1) data transfer from the old phone:
Since MS provides a data transfer with APP, which automatically fetches via Bluetooth from an old smartphone, the contact details from the address book, ran fine, never was so easy!
2.) Battery consumption:
The battery lasts up to now compared to my super Android. I also have the impression that on the Windows Phone fewer processes in the background leersaugen the battery. After a day (12h) I had with WiFi, GPS, and data synchronization is active for about 85% battery power (but not done much other than times evenly emails checked).
Nevertheless, in my view, a top value compared to my old Android.
On the other day (12h):
Everything above activated: half an hour at full brightness as Navi in ​​the car, about 1h as a hotspot for surfing, 20 minutes telephone conversations, and approximately half an hour so surfing on the phone: At the end of the day for about 65% of battery power, I think so should not work at any
3.) GPS:
the device is perfectly made for in-car navigation, the accuracy is absolutely sufficient, and that with a device for just under 100 euros. My old Xcover 2 could even, but that has always used forever to find the satellite, while jogging route was inaccurate. That's all a lot better at this reasonable. Moreover, the battery of the GPS is not sucked empty.
In addition, you have the free Navisoftware Here Drive + (is) the possibility of offline maps (free !!!) download for the entire world, so that you do not even have to necessarily be online while navigating.
4.) Sound:
The tone of the phone is good. Certainly not the best, but perfectly adequate. When listening to music through headphones, the quality is also good. However, the speaker quality could be better.
5.) menu:
dissolved in my eyes very well, the tiles can be arranged independently, even resize the simcard 2. I do not use, but it is solved so that you can easily set up two telephone handset as a symbol with a 1 and a 2 ( as for sms, etc.): it is a breeze to separate the two from each other Sims
The only shortcoming is the Quick Control screen, if you down wipes as Android from the top down: as you can store only 4 Quick settings: eg WLAN, GPS, screen brightness, data usage, but you have here fairness write to that with Windows Phone 10 well is to be changed and the Lumia 532 is Windows 10 ready
6) Screen:
the screen is for many people certainly a weak point, as my twice as expensive Xcover 2 was certainly better. Especially the brightness leaves something to be desired. Even at full brightness, the display is difficult to read in the sun. Since you have already provide shade. In normal daylight, but the display is more than adequate and not bad in my opinion. And for 100 euros one may also not have an iPhone Retina Display or something higher quality expected.
Super is the Glance Screen: showing one to always time and short message, if it is set, without having to unlock the phone. Double tap the screen to unlock the device (possibly need here, of course, the security code is entered, if set)
7.) Touchscreen:
the touch screen responds smoothly and quickly. Certainly not as good as with a Lumia 200 from upstream, but I've had enough. That you should try in the store just once.
8) Email:
For example you can just put two tiles to the surface with two different accounts, so everything is cleanly separated, a nice solution, I think
9.) Apps:
It is indeed quite a bit supplied by MS, for example, the free navigation Here Drive + free maps worldwide, the application Mixradio I find awesome: one indicates what kind of music you like and can thumb with every song up and put down, and then you hear actually only even music that one likes, at least for me it works great,
Otherwise, I have the ARD and ZDF Apps installed: the phone manages to play even the videos from the library without any problems, I am impressed;
otherwise it can be said that a number of apps in the Store are for normal use there, who wants to but play might actually be better off with an Android, for me as a casual but are enough Apps: eg play Mahjong and Solitaire for free from Microsoft also several third-party
Office is incidentally also free here
10.) Camera:
Unfortunately, the camera has a fixed focus, which means that you can take sharp pictures from 60cm distance. Outside in bright light the images, however, are neat and not even worse than my old but Xcover 2. Another drawback is the lack of flash, so night shots are possible. In addition, I have always liked the flash used as a flashlight. But again: for 100 Euro totally ok.
If I want really good photos, I take a decent camera.
11) Size:
If you like rumträgt a box in your pocket or an entire tablet with them, should buy another smartphone.
The Lumia 532 is even slightly smaller than my old Xcover 2 and still find good space in your pocket.
12) CONCLUSION:
A good smart phone for people who want to carry around with no box and are price conscious. For 100 you get a lot on offer and I do not regret the switch from Android to Windows Phone so far no minute.
