Microsoft, today, has officially announced the Lumia 535 with 5 inch display, 5 megapixel front-facing camera and 5 megapixel rear camera. For these three 5’s they call it the 5x5x5 packaging of the smartphone. The most important factor of this phone is that there is no “Nokia” branding anywhere anymore.

Now that’s where “Nokia” branding on smartphones has officially been removed following its acquisition by Microsoft. As of yesterday Microsoft teased with a video hinting about the upcoming very first Lumia device branding with “Microsoft” instead of “Nokia”, they posted about it on Lumia Conversations with the hashtag #MoreLumia. Today on the conversations Microsoft has officially announced the very first of the Lumia family branding with “Microsoft”, the Microsoft Lumia 535.

Lumia 535 will come in two variants, the 3G Single SIM, or 3G Smart Dual SIM, both loaded with Windows Phone 8.1 and the Lumia Denim software update right out of the box which include features like Action Center, Word Flow, Live Folders and Cortana.
