Entry level Lumia, Lumia 532 already launched, will be available on 27 March onwards.. Selling price RM379.. I feel kinda expensive..

Wondering is it worth to buy?

the spec is so 2 years ago

entry level ma what u think bout the price? worth it?

with pay another RM20 . you get the better Lumia 535 instead.

For Windows phone OS, who gives a rat ass about spec, this is not Android. Anyway I'd say the Lumia 532 is cheap if you want a new entry level windows phone. As for me, I'd wait for the Lumia 640. After the disastrous Lumia 535 touch issue you better test out first before buying it. Windows phone OS should
always be fluid as smooth regardless of how low the spec is

Lumia 535 have touch issue which is hardware problem, so don't buy it.

Any guide on how to test out? Just swipe around? What is the issue of 535? Not sensitive?

Yea just swipe around. WP is will not have any problem with responsiveness. The problem with Lumia 535 is the touch screen is like those 10 years capacitive touch screen that you get with China phones. Try swiping around when scrolling f for pics etc. Just google for Lumia 535 touch screen issue you'll get the idea

K, thanks.. gonna try it this weekend..

Microsoft release a patch to fix the o issue, but some user still experiencing it. Anyway try to test 1 unit at the official Nokia store and 1 at Harvey Norman and see the difference. Those guys at Harvey Norman did not update their phones.

As a backup phone, why not. I'll take the orange one.

Price is quite expensive.. I thought it will be around 300 only.

Today i just get myself lumia 630 at the price of RM399, not sure how the spec of 532 compare to 630

from where? nokia store or normal shop?

Avaxx set

ok..

basically, lumia 630 specs is better than 532 in almost every area, except for the ram.. 532 had 1gb, while 630 has 512mb..

i think the con for 630 is no front camera

Just try first at stores. I think this model corrects the mistake of 535 (problem with touch). But RM379 is not that bad for a Lumia.

Any review? Too bad didn't follow Lumia 535 5" screen.

if for backup purpose, i rather pick asha line - cost less than rm200

Do asha have those things like whatsapp?

at least asha 5xx series got

You guys smoking pot or something? Asha line is discontinued. Anyway if you want a super cheap windows phone just wait for the Lumia 435. Heard it will be dirty cheap. Maybe below rm300

Might be cheap, but the dual core and 2mp camera is such a turn off.. I rather add few bucks to get quad core and 5mp, even though it its fixed focus..

Anyone kind enough to share about user experience? Thanks.

Depends on what's ur primary usage.

Been using 532 for few months now and love it. Even tested Win10 preview before and it runs fine (except few uncompatible apps).

For day to day usage is pretty good.

WeChat however drains a lot of batteries. Not sure if just this model or same with other Lumia models.

Games runs smoothly too. Most games that it but I haven't found yet any games that kinda slowed using the phone. Not that I game much on mobiles though but all games that I downloaded for my 5 y/o daughter la.

But Sonic Dash, that Minion games, Temple run all run flawlessly.

Camera is okay la for it's price.

Thanks so much for the reply.

Perhaps you could tell more about the incompatible apps on Win 10 as well as about the screen, battery life and perhaps any drawbacks of this phone. Thank you in advance.

planning to sell my 532.. bought as 2nd phone, in the end, end up as alarm clock only.. super underutilized.. let me know if u interested..

Let me know the details.

Bought on April 2015 from Nokia store.. Been in my bedroom since day 1 with minimal usage, only alarm clock.. Receipt should still have.. Will search if u confirm one.. Applied with tempered glass sp.. White color phone..

I don't really use much apps but most of the issue I found (or I think) is on the apps sides rather than the phone. This is because the apps may not be fully updated for windows10 yet.

Stuff like unable to save number/name from whatsapp etc.

However, so far all the top games are compatible.

WeChat somehow takes a while to load both with windows 8.1 and windows 10 and eats up battery a lot (I asked ppl who use android they seems not to have this problem).

All in all I think windows phone are suitable if you want to use it more for office works but totally for fun and games they're not much.

For office apps they're great.

You forgot some of the most important details.

Pm me

sold your phone yet ?

yup, sold d.. did open the tered for this few days ago, guess u a bit late

Well, maybe im too late.

I use this phone 2 months , but android liked more . There are no problems whit this model, but I would have gladly changed

Greetings.
Any review about gps accuracy on this model?
Can anybody who own this phone test it. Just install edomondo or strava and try walk around.
I plan to buy one and using it as tracker for my running. 4 inch is small enuf to carry and toss around.

I'm using the default Here Map & Here Drive. Never lost once. Not sure how much accurate though..
