InFocus are best known for their budget projectors, but the US-based electronics manufacturer is fast upping the ante on the smartphone scene.
The newest InFocus smartphone, the M535, is a 9,999 INR ($152) smartphone that appears to offer quite a bang for your buck. First and foremost, the M535 has a unibody design that although has started to appear in the $150 price segment, isn’t all that common.
Second, the smartphone actually seems to have some decent specifications: there’s a 5.5-inch 1280 x 720p HD display with Gorilla Glass 3 on top, a 1.5GHz quad-core MediaTek 64-bit processor (presumably the MT6732), 2GB of RAM, 16GB on-board storage and a 2600mAh battery.
Gizchina News of the week
The cameras sitting on the front and rear of the InFocus M535 are 8 mega-pixel and 13 mega-pixel in resolution respectively. Speaking of the rear of the phone, it reminds you a bit of the UMi Iron, which in my opinion is a very good looking device.
4G LTE support is another something that InFocus are betting big on. The M535 is currently on sale in India for 9,999 INR in Silver and Gold color options.
please be cheaper !
More cheaper?
Of course this is yasir we are speaking about! Lol.

Elephone M1 possibly $119 at everbuying on Wednesday’s at 13:00 GMT. Good saving on a nice looking phone.
From what I heard from someone InFocus actually make quality devices.
it’s Foxconn so they should. As well as Apple I think they make some Meizu devices as well.
Meizu, Xiaomi, Oppo, Huawei, Sony, Microsoft and a host of other companies use Foxconn in some capacity.
Missing the OIS of the M530?
so being a us based company, does this mean it will have US LTE?
While Infocus itself is a US based company, the Infocus name is used under license for phones. It’s actually the house brand for well known OEM Foxconn. So far their devices have not supported US bands because they are meant for the Asian/Indian markets which have no use for US bands.
Wish every article everywhere on Infocus mobile wouldn’t start ‘US based electronic firm… ‘.
Yea it can be misleading.
I`ve read that the 6732/6752 have been discontinued with software support and won’t see anything official above 5.0, so I would take that price with a pinch of salt.
6735 and 6753 are getting 6.0
