Microsoft Lumia 540 - THE BIG REVIEW

Microsoft has introduced the Lumia 540 in the Indian market. Microsoft Lumia 540 is the perfect budget Windows Phone device with an impressive camera, vivid HD display and decent battery backup. Android dominates the budget market, and for good reason. It is now possible to get tremendous value out of sub-Rs. 10,000 Android smartphone. That means Microsoft has a major challenge on its hands, and we're happy to see that it's taking things seriously.

PROCESSOR
Microsoft Lumia 540 is powered by a 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 quad-core processor and 1GB RAM. It comes with 8GB internal storage and supports micro SD card slots of up to 128GB for expansion.

DISPLAY & DESIGN
This Lumia does not look cheap at all. The display of the phone is one area where the Lumia 540 has an edge over its predecessor (Lumia 535). The phone sports a 5-inch HD (720x1280p) IPS LCD display with Clear Black technology. Viewing angles were wide and outdoor visibility under sunlight was decent. However, unlike the Lumia 535, the 540 doesn't come with Corning Gorilla Glass protection.

CAMERA
The rear camera has an 8-megapixel sensor and the one in front is a surprisingly decent 5-megapixel unit.

SOFTWARE
The smartphone runs Lumia Denim which is essentially Windows Phone 8.1 with Update 2 with some Nokia-exclusive features. Cortana voice assistant now works in India if you activate and select UK English in the speech settings.


MEMORY
Lumia 540 comes with 1GB RAM which is less than what Android budget phones. It has 8GB internal storage and supports micro SD card slots of up to 128GB for expansion.

BATTERY
It is powered by a big 2,200 mAh battery. The phone lasts a full day (about 14-15 hours) on a single charge even if you put the screen brightness at the highest level and use 3G data all the time. The dual-sim handset offers 3G, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, and Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity options.

PRICE
Microsoft Lumia 540 is priced at Rs. 10,199/- and is available online as well as offline.

Though, Android smartphones in this budget gives you a lot of more features and applications, Microsoft has its own advantages. Microsoft will not disappoint you in terms of after sales service. Also, the call quality and network reception is also better. This is the best Windows smartphone in the market and Windows users should go for it.
