Cons

• No Front Camera( Lumia 535 and 730 have 5mp)
• Low Resolution
• No Camera Flash( Lumia 535 and 730 have single led flash)
• Small screen ( Users will hardly use 3 colum  tile styles)
• Cannot play 1080p videos Smoothly (Needs Moliplayer)

If you have budget to buy Lumia 730. I will recoment lumia 730 ...... If you have to choose between lumia 535 and 638 then it depends on the cons.....
