Microsoft Lumia 532 Review

    See other variants reviews Score: 58.5 / 100

Microsoft Lumia 532 is a bit outdated Windows Phone 8.1 device, which features a medium 4 inches multi-touch display, an extremely fast Quad-Core processing unit ticking at 1200 MHz, a 5 mega-pixels back facing camera and a 0.3 MP front facing camera.

Microsoft decided to sell this device with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 8212 system chip, backed up by a high speed 1200 megahertz Quad-Core CPU and only 1 GB of RAM memory which is a little bit poor for a device of this quality. Graphic calculations generally uses lots of processing power, so it also has a 400 MHz Adreno 302 GPU to unload the CPU. A good point of the Lumia 532 is its quite big 8 GB internal storage and an external memory card slot, which allows the user to install hundreds of applications without any trouble.

Microsoft is offering this phone in a lot of color options like black, orange, green and white. Even though this phone is quite thin it's not even close to being one of the thinnest devices you can find, with a thickness of 0.46 inches. This time, it seems like Microsoft didn't care about the weight in this 4.81 ounces phone.

This cellphone has a interesting 800 x 480 4" display, which makes all pictures and videos look vivid. Its display uses LCD capacitive technology, and can detect multiple fingers at the same time.

This phone offers WiFi capability (and it can share it with other devices around, as a mobile hotspot), HSPA+ 4G connectivity, which is not as fast as LTE or LTE-A 4G networks and 3G fast connectivity, supported by HSDPA and HSUPA technologies. The Microsoft Lumia 532 works with a Micro SIM card to use GSM services.

This cellphone features two cameras, a 5 mega-pixels back facing camera and a 0.3 MP front facing camera.

The Microsoft Lumia 532 also includes some useful characteristics such as Bluetooth (provides communication with other phones and accessories) and GPS (Global Positioning System), and some sensors likeLight Sensor, Proximity Sensor and Accelerometer.

The Lumia 532 packs a 1560 mAh medium sized Li-Ion battery that can keep it running for many hours, although you will probably find yourself looking for a place to charge it even after moderate use.

Microsoft is offering the Lumia 532 for $ 249, which is not a good offer for comparing with other similar devices. No matter whether you will use it mostly for social networks and internet browsing or are looking for a phone for gaming, this cellphone is definitely a good choice . This cellphone includes Charger, User Guide and Battery.
