Jim Martin from PC Advisor wrote: "We're fans of Windows Phone 8.1 but the Lumia 535 compromises in too many areas to make it a bargain at £100. You're better off with a Motorola Moto E or – if you want 4G – the EE Kestrel."[6]
Katharine Byrne from Expert Reviews wrote that "Microsoft's Lumia 535 is well-built, but poor battery life and a fussy touchscreen makes it frustrating to use."[7]
According to Microsoft, the Lumia 535 became the best-selling mid-range smartphone in Pakistan.[8]

Since the release, users have detected numerous problems regarding the phone's touch screen. Microsoft has stated that these problems are caused by a software bug and released an update in January 2015 to fix it.[9][10] Another update in March partially fixed the issue and users who are still experiencing the issue are advised to contact Microsoft Care.[11][12]
