When Microsoft unveiled its new Microsoft Lumia branding, it promised to unveil a a Microsoft Lumia device “soon.” It delivered on its promise today with the Microsoft Lumia 535, described as a “5x5x5” smartphone because of its 5-inch display and 5MP front- and rear-facing cameras. As you would expect, the Nokia branding is gone in favour of a Microsoft logo both at the front and the rear.
