For device:
I am convinced Windows Phone users, because me personally, the surface suits still more than Android, which is partly due to the clear structure and the other hand in terms of performance. It makes use of for me just much faster, and the memorial pauses that I often see also the Galaxy S3 I know not.
The 535, however, is relative. economical motorized, it shows when setting up after all. While it is not jerky, but must once CPU lastigere things happen you ever wait 2-3 seconds. But typically only when starting an application. Otherwise, it uses still very fluid. For me to be advantageous to switch off the magnifier has under "Settings ->" proven Ease "advantageous order for the phone runs mE liquid This was for example also as a tip called because of multitouch problems....
The touch screen is currently the weakest point. The accuracy is not the best, and with more than 2 Touch points it becomes difficult. One can easily check that the app "Multi Touch Test" ([.....]). One sees that in 2 fingers the touch points are no longer detected correctly, as soon as they are too close together. More than 2 do not seem to go. My AtivS creates example. 4 and more easily. The reaction rate does not seem to be so very quickly. Sometimes scroll events are interpreted as a click, just in the option lists when the font of the entry is longer texts under the finger. As I read it should already be a firmware update which should fix the display problems, for me it is not yet eingetrudelt far as I can tell.
If you are not predisposed to hectic, but the unit can operate well in my opinion. The exciting point will be when the person is confronted to beschenkende so. These desperate namely also on the operation of the much better from a hardware perspective Galaxy S3.
On the positive side is definitely the main memory of 1GB, other Windows phones in this price range that is only 512 MB, which could be a bit scarce. Nokia there is still a complete Offline Navigation solution as well as various other handy apps that really a practical use have shown the bloatware that example. Samsung also like to spread. The camera is nothing special, but it has a photo LED, can miss what many of price competitors. The front camera will nevertheless on with 5MP, which for me is of slight service, who needs Selfies where each pore can be seen ....
A big advantage is definitely the microSD slot. Many expensive Lumias such as 925/930 or the camera phone 1020 pointlessly have no way to expand the internal memory. Who photographed much / filming or even an extensive music collection has is also fully get the comparatively large memory quickly, because even with a 32GB device are net only 25GB available, the rest is occupied by the system. When 535 are of the 8GB for about 3.5GB available. A memory card is therefore recommended. Meanwhile, it is also possible thankfully to install apps on the memory card.
Equally beautiful is the ability to change the battery. Even if one assumes that the batteries now exceed the life of your device but is the ability to replace the battery in case of decreasing capacity, very pleasant.
If the display problem can not solve would also 4 star in it, let's see how it develops. The basics are at least fairly decent. Supposedly you can already play a new software version on the "Lumia software Recovery Tool", with which you can completely reset via the PC software. However, in my attempt the software version was identical already played with. Rumored to be rolled out from 27 December, a firmware update.
*** Update ***:
Since today (22:12:14) the software update 02054.00000.14485.37002 / OS 8.10.14219.341 is available in Germany. In addition to Siri version of Microsoft "Cortana" among other things, the touch screen problem is addressed. After a personal Kurztest the false positives seem to have been reduced now. All thing it's not a quantum leap. The screen appears at the bottom and still have problems with closely spaced Touch elements. You notice this when you change the tiles in the size of the home, and a Kache adopted the smallest representation. You will find this near the bottom on the navigation buttons, it often happens that you can not change the size, they simply leave the design mode. These false positives decreased, but still occur. Also, sometimes the alphabetical overview called when scrolling through the App list unintentionally. When tested with the "Multitouch Test" app you can see that the multitouch capability is slightly better, but not really a quantum leap has taken place. Other touch screens can separate much better closely spaced fingers, and really more than 3 Touch points are also not get through reliably. But the operation has improved at least noticeable. Similarly, the performance is improved somewhat, scrolling through the Home and the Appliste is felt much faster.
*** Update *** 2: 12.30.14
I have now decided, the 3 star first stand permit. In my score, this means that it is a solid device without unreasonable defects. However, the biggest drawback is the touch screen, in which you just most clearly noticed was where saved. This is of course in a device whose operation is only possible via this an intermediate problem. Said firmware update mitigates the problem, but can presumably naturally. not completely ironed out limited capabilities of the hardware. Thus, it all depends on frequent operating errors, as I was used to in earlier Windows Phone devices (LGe700, AtivS), but this started in a completely different price category. The problems occur but in a eträglichen Mass and you can get used to the peculiarities, so that you can handle it. "Inoperable" you can call it by no means. So you get a lot of phone for the money, but it would have been better if they had another 10 EUR upped the ante and a better touch screen donated.
