Nokia Lumia 530 - Quad-Core Budget Lumia

Want a Budget Quad-Core Lumia? Nokia by Microsoft gives you Lumia 530.

The device sports a 4 inch WVGA TN Display powered by 1.2GHz Quad-Core MSM8225 Snapdragon 200 Processor with 4GB Internal Storage and 512MB RAM.

For its optics it features only a 5MP back camera with 1/4'' sensor size and video recording 480p @30fps. No front camera here.

The regular WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS including HSPA+ data connectivity are the phone’s connectivity features.

I believe it sticks to the old battery of Lumia 520 with 1480mAh capacity. With more cores, battery life is reduced a bit.

Overall, Lumia 530 is Microsoft budget offering that comes with humble specifications for basic users for only 4,990 pesos. It's more of a cutback of the old Lumia 520, less the IPS display gone and down to 4GB from 8GB storage, just a chipset upgrade. For the basic consumer and those who want to shift from feature phones or those who want to try Windows Phone.
