The Microsoft Lumia 535 which is now being sold with a buyback offer to bring its price down to Rs 5999, is already available for less than its original cost of around Rs 10000. The phone was launched towards the end of last year; so it was about time Microsoft paired it with a deal like this to avoid getting clubbed by other affordable handsets in India.
Beside the fact that they run on the mildly user unfriendly Windows Phone OS, the cost range of the Lumia smartphones has always prevented Redmond from being able to make it big in India. The market here is filled with cheap Android alternatives from Xiaomi, Lava, Micromax, Xolo and the likes. Even Samsung doesn’t try too hard in this segment because of the prospect of thin profits.
