Microsoft Lumia 435

 

The Microsoft Lumia 435 is a compact, feature-rich budget 4-inch mobile for first time smartphone owners, or for those who want a simple smartphone at a low price. It's just £59 SIM-free, or less than £50 on pay-as-you-go – it's about as cheap as...

Incredible value for money ; Compact and lightweight ; Feature packed

Chunky design ; Weak cameras ; No 4G or NFC

Microsoft Lumia 435 review: Best smartphone you can buy under £50

 

The Microsoft Lumia 435 is the best phone you can buy under £50, even accepting the tired old Windows Phone apps argument. Bottom of Microsoft's line-up and just £49.99 on PAYG it's by no means a great phone, but for first-time or light users it wipes...

Microsoft Lumia 435 review

  (Rating Hidden)

The Nokia Lumia 435 is one of the cheapest mobile phones around. We like that it comes with a micro-SD card slot for expanding the memory, but is its battery life any good? And is it really possible to get a reasonable mobile phone for such a low...

Microsoft Lumia 435 review

 

For its latest budget smartphone Microsoft has aimed to keep the price as low as possible while still delivering a quality Windows Phone experience. But how low is too low?

Bright, sturdy shell with changeable covers, Microsoft extras, low price, decent battery

Sub-HD screen, slow processor, low-res camera, no 4G

The Microsoft Lumia 435 is a basic, budget phone, and offers a cut-price introduction to the Windows Phone experience. You get Microsoft extras like Office apps, Mix Radio and HERE Drive +, but you're saddled with a slow processor and so-so camera. The...

Microsoft Lumia 435 Smartphone Review

 

Windows Phone X. Microsoft's Lumia 435 is an inexpensive Windows Phone. But wait a minute; isn't the Lumia 535 already available? We check whether Microsoft's smallest Lumia smartphone makes any sense.

Compact size, Smooth operating system, Comprehensive software additions, Good memory equipment, Usable battery runtimes, Decent speaker, Replaceable battery, Cover can be changed, Case gets hardly warm

Bad quality of the microphone, Thick chassis, Low gaming performance, Mediocre camera equipment, Low-contrast display, Unreliable GPS sensor

If you want to pay only 100 Euros (~$112) for your next smartphone, you will have to live with some restrictions: The Microsoft Lumia 435 cannot keep up with the much better Lumia 535, which costs slightly more than 100 Euros. The screen and the...
