MICROSOFT LUMIA 535 VS 530 VS 520 COMPARISON: DESIGN

The Lumia 535 has 8.8 mm thick and its weight is 146g. It is slimmer than the 11.7 mm of the Lumia 530 and slightly slimmer than the 9.9 mm of the 520. However, it is heavier than the weight of 129 gram of 530 and 124 gram of 520, but I think it is acceptable because Lumia 535 has a bigger screen than two predecessors.

To make Lumia smartphones more attractive, Nokia and Microsoft have created many colourful cases for Lumia and customers can change Lumia’s cases very easily. 

The 535 has many cases with bright colors like orange, green, blue and neutral colors like black, white and gray. These colors are often swapped when you purchase any 535 and if you do not like it, you can change to other colors fast because 535’s back is removable. Lumia 530 has the same options of colors with 535 and 530’s back is also removable.

Colour choices for the Lumia 520 are less color than 535 and 530. The 520 has yellow, blue, red, white and black color for its backs. Less color is a weakness but 520 has a weaker point, unlike 535, the back of 520 cannot remove, so you must choose carefully when you buy a 520 because you cannot change it when you want to change it, there is just one solution for this problem, buy another Lumia.
