Lumia 535 - A Microsoft Oddysey

Lumia 535 is the latest device by Microsoft after they buy Nokia mobile division. The device is still carry on the signature Lumia design which is not bad. This device has its own selling point which is 5x5x5 - 5" Screen with 5MP Front and Rear camera.

Inside the device is a lower power CPU, snapdragon 200, with generous 1Gb ram and 8Gb of internal storage. 

One dead spot of the device is it has a touch issues which Microsoft already working hard to fix it. But with the latest update, the device is still felt a bit lag compare to others Lumia device. What a shame to Microsoft.

I get a chance to do a quick hand on. Since all the Windows Phone OS is the same, so I focus on the hardware built up. Summary is it offer more that the price tag. 

The battery life is great since the screen resolution and CPU is not so power consumption. Even thought the resolution is not HD in big screen, you can still have a decent screen image.

 

The Age of Wearable

After Apple has announced the Apple Watch, the world has enter a new age, the age of Wearable device. Companies are swam to come out their own devices. Especially in this year CES.

So far, all that theses wearable use case is mostly on health fitness. Keep track of all your activities. It is like putting a Big Brother in your hand. Imagine once someone able to hack into these vast database, all your privacy will gone with the wind.

A lot of these is heavy relying on smart phone to do most of the job. So you carried two devices to do one task where you can do it with one device in the start. It just make you look a bit cooler. That's all.
