The product line under the name "Lumiya" of the company "Nokia" has become a real breakthrough in the field of mobile devices. To be honest, sometimes one gets the impression that the developers of the corresponding company always have at their disposal, let's say, in their bosom, a few more trump cards. And let's not hide it, the company's marketers also have the same feature. They already know exactly how to properly present a new product to a wide audience of users who love the Lumiya series.
Promotion to the market
As mentioned earlier, every time Nokia marketers use a weapon unknown to us, which allows us to achieve almost the maximum effect from the sales of smartphones of the corresponding model range. Windows Mobile Platform for Portable Devicesslowly but inexorably spreading across the globe. There is every reason for this, and we can't help but note it in fairness.
Not so long ago the company managed to master a new range of devices with a screen diagonal of 5 inches. Solely to complete the picture, we give a specific example of such a device. You can even call it the debut in the series. This is Nokia Lumiya 535. Again, if we look at the official data, sales were in full swing. The device was not just in demand. Many experts argued that the model has become an excellent proposal that takes place in the budget segment. Nevertheless, the screen resolution for such a diagonal (and it was 960 by 540 pixels) did not correspond to the declared level. That is why the company clearly saw the prospects that loomed on the horizon.
In general terms about the device
The Microsoft Lumiya 540 phone, reviews of which the reader can read in this article, has become a logical continuation of the line. The company's engineers wanted to make the screen even better, but, unfortunately, they did not succeed. More specifically, the wrong choice of matrix should be noted. Many experts, after testing the novelty, agreed that it was better in the same 535th model.
However, a tangible advantage (it can even be called competitive) was the HD-screen resolution. Interestingly, the Nokia Lumia 640 and Lumia 540 cost the same after being released to the market. This is a fairly rare occurrence, and this time it is associated witheconomic situation. Nevertheless, in the latest model, the materials from which the case is made are much cheaper. It should be noted and less powerful processor. Performance is worse, and that's a fact. Reduced battery life. Retailers refused to sell the Nokia Lumiya 540. It can only be purchased at company stores.
To be honest, there was no practical sense in acquiring the Lumiya 540, and most likely there will not be. It is better to take the corresponding analogue, which has already been mentioned above. The fate of the object of our today's review will probably be, one might say, unenviable. In the opinion of many experts who know a lot about smartphones, only lowering its cost can save the situation with the device. Otherwise, no exits have been seen yet.
Package set
He is rather modest. In the box after buying the phone, you can find only the device itself, as well as accessories vital for it. We are talking about a lithium-ion battery (capacity of 2200 mAh), as well as a charger. Of course, the owner of the device will be able to find the instruction manual in the package.
Sizes
The dimensions of the device are quite average for a model with the appropriate screen size. In all three planes, they are 144 by 73.7 by 8.6 millimeters. At the same time, the weight of the smartphone is only 152 grams.
Reliability
The phone fits very well inpalm. Even with wet hands, it is unlikely to fall out. Therefore, there are no complaints about the device here. There are no restrictions on wearing. The device will perfectly hide in all pockets without exception.
“Nokia Lumia 540”. Reviews
“Is it worth it?” - such a question interests many people who stare at the corresponding model. And their doubt in this regard is fully supported by practical grounds. But for now, we need to decide what kind of design the phone has, what kind of assessment it can be given at all.
Colors
In general, the device was released to the smartphone market in several colors. More specifically, in orange, blue, white and black. But on the territory of the Russian Federation you can find only the latest version. This is a matte finish. This is probably done because black is the most disadvantageous look. In other words, so that the 640th and 540th models do not compete with each other.
Top end
The Microsoft Lumia 540 smartphone, reviews of which you can read in this article, has a built-in 3.5 mm jack. It is provided for connecting a wired stereo headset to the device.
Bottom end
Here we have the most ordinary MicroUSB connector. It is used to synchronize the device with a personal computer or laptop.
Right side
There is a rocker on the right sidevolume. It must be used to increase or decrease the sound on the phone, as well as put it on silent or loud mode. The device's power button is also located here.
Rear panel
There is a speaker here. There is a main camera lens and an LED flash nearby.
Dismantling the device
Opening the phone won't be that hard. The case is pulled out quite simply. There is a feeling that this is nothing but a cover. In general, this design is very, very reliable. Her company has already tested on a large number of individual models. If you remove the back cover, then under it you can find a removable battery and connectors for installing a SIM card and a memory drive. Important: the slot is designed for MicroSIM cards.
Build Quality
For the first time, the phone pleases in this regard. However, then cracks appear on the edges. It won't be long before the hull begins to wobble. The lid will go into the groove worse and worse. If you encounter this problem, check the location of the battery. It is possible that it is he who prevents the lid from slamming shut. Although it is possible that this is not the case. Interestingly, in fact, the battery moves away from the contact, squeezing out the cover. But at the same time, the phone continues to function successfully.
“Nokia Lumia 540”. Reviews. Should I take it?
It's time to sum up the article and summarize the reviews of the owners. More specifically, their notes on the advantages and disadvantages of the model.
Positivemoments can be called the sound quality in the device. In general, many models of the Finnish mobile company have good dynamics. And not only emitting “clean” sounds, but also doing it quite loudly. But as for the vibration during an incoming voice call, then the engineers have not finalized it. Not noticing is easy.
The 540th model has no more special advantages. For the price, you could expect a lot more. As mentioned earlier, there is no practical point in purchasing this smartphone. The resolution of the front camera may make some adjustments, but they are so meager that they simply prefer not to notice them. It is unlikely that because of this, someone will make their choice in favor of the model.
