WARNING: Microsoft Lumia 535 touchscreen defect


Microsoft Lumia 535 Dual SIM review: A first of many by gsmarena.com
We notice the touch input is not as accurate as on other Lumia smartphones. We occasionally ran into issues with the touchscreen - from activating the adjacent option instead on the one we pressed on to not detecting the fingertip at all. It isn't that annoying as it sounds, but it is still something to consider as a drawback.

 The Lumia 535: Microsoft’s first phone reviewed by arstechnica.com
The one sticking point I had was not with the image, but rather with touch. While it was generally fine, on a few occasions the screen was slow and imprecise when responding to touch inputs, requiring multiple stabs at the screen to make something happen. This wasn't a consistent issue by any means, but I've seen similar reports from others testing the phone, so I don't think it's an issue unique to my test handset.

 Lumia 535 review: The 'first' Microsoft Lumia by indiatimes.com
We also did not find the touch of the display panel to be very responsive. At times it failed to register taps.

Winphone Viet on youtube.com demonstrates the touchscreen issue of the Microsoft Lumia 535. The Lumia device has issues tracking the fingers accurately.



The Microsoft Lumia 535 will retail at ₱5900 for the Dual-SIM variant in the Philippines. But, wait for Microsoft to fix the issue first before buying.
