May be I am wrong but I just have felt that after launching new Microsoft Lumia series Microsoft has reduced the quality of hardware and design, just compare new 535 with old Nokia Lumia phones of same range you will get what I am trying to say here also new Lumia devices have more bugs, again you can take the example of 535 famous dead screen and touch issues.. I don't know where Microsoft assembles new devices it must be somewhere in China and most probably they have some new plant to assemble their new devices thatswhy I am feeling lot of change in quality Microsoft Lumia vs Nokia Lumia series!

This isn't the retail price. It's the price before taxes and profit. The actual price will probably be 4-5K more.

Nokia Lumia Icon was developed (and manufacturing was started) before the acquisition. It is a phone with multiple flaws: laggy screen, weak WiFi, poor battery life, and other bugs. Now lets go back to 2008/2009, with Nokia N97. That phone was a flagship Nokia device, not fixable with firmware updates, and was released way before Windows Phone 7. The phone had low memory problems, poor touch-screen, lens cover that would scratch the lens, etc. Nokia had problems that they failed to address, and as a result, became an irrelevant player in the mobile space. Microsoft is trying to sort out issues that were present in Nokia.

I agree this might be next 520 which will introduce people to windows 10 for phones in a nice way
