Nokia Lumia 735 deals and reviews

What the critics say (scores are out of 100)

100	S21 The Nokia Lumia 735 is a good-looking Windows smartphone that comes in a range of colours. To be honest, we like it best in black, but the other options are there if you like them, and the cases are changeable. Read full review
100	Expert Reviews | Katharine Byrne With its gorgeous OLED display and excellent battery life, the Lumia 735 is a great value Windows Phone. Read full review
88	MobileTechTalk | Mark Ramos It looks and feels like something several times its price tag, its solid, beautiful, a truly capable device that runs Windows Phone, for good or ill. Read full review
84	NotebookCheck | Daniel Schmidt Great for selfies. Microsoft's Lumia 735 is a good middle-class smartphone with decent cameras on both sides and a comprehensive set of features. The bold colors, which are common for the Lumia-series, make quite a statement as well. Read full review
80	Recombu | Alex Todd For the SIM-free price tag, there's little that offers the same level of quality across so many areas, but for the most part, there's little that can touch the Nokia Lumia 735 across the board. That said, the Lumia 735 covers all the important bases and has more than enough to offer even the most discerning of smartphone users. Read full review
80	Digital Versus | Sofian Nouira We can certainly recommend the new Nokia Lumia 735. The latest phone from Microsoft Mobile is really nice to use, providing a fluid interface, top-quality screen, excellent battery life and a great media player. If you're looking for an easy-to-use 4G smartphone with a great set of features, you won't be disappointed by the Lumia 735. Read full review
80	Pocket-lint | Chris Hall The overall result is that the Lumia 735 offers a good size and build, with enough power to hit all the spec essentials. It might not quite elevate itself to excellence, but it's certainly a good mid-range Windows Phone at an attractive price. Read full review
80	ITProPortal | Sandra Vogel Nokia might be pitching the Lumia 735 at the selfie fan, but in doing so it misses a potentially larger market. The Lumia 735 is, for this reviewer, the best of the lower cost Lumia range. Read full review
80	CNET UK | Andrew Hoyle Although the Lumia 735 doesn't have the best camera, it's colourful, curvy and comfortable, has a good display and an affordable price -- all of which go a long way to making up for it. Read full review
80	Register Hardware | Andrew Orlowski Aside the inexcusable system crash, it's hard to find fault with a phone which offers so much in such an attractive package. It's a pity that the marketing is so niche and consumer-centric, ("great for selfies"), as it has much broader appeal. Read full review
80	PC Advisor | Marie Brewis Perhaps the most 'fun' smartphone in Nokia's 2014 Lumia line-up - this is, after all, the phone codenamed Superman - the Lumia 735 has loads to offer not only fans of Windows Phone 8.1, but also those who like to post their best pout on social media. Read full review
80	Trusted Reviews | Andy Vandervell A very good phone for sharing photos, but less so for games. But if you don't play games there are few reasons not to buy one. Read full review
70	Australian PC World | Tony Ibrahim Never does the Lumia 735 feel sluggish. The Windows Phone 8.1 operating system glides from one app to another with ease. It's a combination of the light operating system and the work of hardware...Powering the Lumia 735 is a 2220 milliamp-hour battery which supports wireless charging. The battery is good for a day of day with mixed usage. Read full review
70	TheEffect.Net | Luke Hoare Greene If you're looking for a solid Windows Phone device but don't want to break the bank (but also don't want something too cheap), the Lumia 735 might be just what you're looking for. Read full review
70	TechSpot | Tim Schiesser So while the Lumia 735 is generally a good mid-range handset from a hardware standpoint, I can't recommend it at its current price. Read full review
70	Brighthand | Grant Hatchimonji The Lumia 735, while somewhat hampered by an unappealing design and an off-contract price that's a little high, is still a decent option for those looking for a low- to mid-tier device. Read full review
70	AnandTech | Brett Howse The Lumia 735 is in an interesting place in the Lumia lineup. There is nothing outright wrong with the phone, but at the same time, it does not wow me with any one feature. Read full review
70	Wired UK | Dave Oliver The Nokia Lumia 735 is a solidly capable Windows smartphone with a good screen, fast processor and a surprisingly high quality camera. It's good to see there's a better than usual 5-megapixel snapper on the front for superior selfies too. Read full review
60	PC Pro | Jonathan Bray Although it's a highly competent smartphone at a reasonable price, it isn't good enough to eclipse the best budget Android handsets, such as the cheaper Motorola Moto G 4G. Read full review
60	The Gadget Show The Nokia Lumia 735 is solid Windows Phone-powered blower, but you don't get a ton of bang for your buck - it doesn't offer that much value compared to the current king of budget smartphones. Its selfie-orientated front-facing camera is great, but it's certainly not a must have, and you might just find yourself wishing you had more apps to play with. Read full review
