Design wise, the Lumia 532 resembles like the Asha series phones with a glossy finish around the sides. The device has a matte finish rear panel and exhibits great quality. The power and volume keys are on the right side and the 3.5mm audio jack on the top. The micro USB charging slot is at the bottom. The rear panel houses the 5MP camera, speakers and also the Microsoft logo.
The front panel has the 4 inch WVGA display and the three capacitive touch buttons. The recent Lumia phones have had on screen buttons and Microsoft is now back to touch buttons on Lumia 532. Overall, the build quality, fit and finish looks really good and the device feels solid in hands especially with the glossy finish on the sides.
The 4 inch WVGA display although has low resolution (480 X 800), it does look vibrant and colorful. The touch response is excellent on the display.

The speed, the ease of use, the Skype experience, and the functionality that the 435 comes packed @ such cheap price has really provided me the worth of my money that I have spent.
