First Microsoft-branded smartphone coming to India next week

Microsoft India just sent out a ‘Block Your Date’ mail for an event on November 26. The invite does not explicitly mention Lumia 535 but it’s safe to assume considering Microsoft has been marketing the device with the significance of three ‘5s’ with 5 Microsoft experiences, 5-inch display and a 5 megapixel front-facing camera.

India will get a dual-SIM variant and will feature 5-inch qHD display, 1.2GHz quad-core processor, 1GB RAM, 8GB internal memory and microSD card slot supporting up to 128GB.

The international price of Lumia 535 is around 110 euros, which means we can expect the phone to be priced around the Rs. 10,000 range.
