Nokia Lumia 530 Review

Americas     See other variants reviews Score: 53.5 / 100

Nokia Lumia 530 is a decent quality phone released many years ago, counting with an extremely powerful 1.2 GHz Quad-Core CPU, a 5 megapixels back facing camera and a medium 4 inches multi touch screen. Let's take a better view of what this device offers to us.

This phone's thickness of 0.46" is a little far from current standards, but it still feels comfortable in the hand. It seems like Nokia decided not to care much about the weight in this 4.55 ounces device. Nokia made this device in a nice range of colors, black, orange, green and white.

Nokia sells the Nokia Lumia 530 with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 system chip, which holds an extremely powerful Quad-Core processor clocking at 1.2 gigahertz with only 512 MB RAM memory which is a little poor for a phone this good. Graphic intensive applications and games often consume a lot of processor cycles, so it has an additional 400 MHz Adreno 302 GPU to improve overall performance. The Lumia 530 counts with a 4 GB internal storage memory, a common amount that should be considering it also has a slot for an external memory card .

The Lumia 530 is only equipped with a 5 megapixels back facing camera. This camera also features face detection shooting and geo tagging.

The Lumia 530 includes a good looking 4" screen with a 854 x 480 resolution, which makes all images and videos look colorful and brightful. This screen uses LCD capacitive technology, and can detect multi touch gestures.

The Lumia 530 has a 1430 mAh medium Li-Ion removable battery providing this device with a below average battery life. This device has a reported talk time of 13.4 hours and a stand by time of 528 hs according to Nokia.

The Lumia 530 includes WiFi connection (which can be provided to other devices acting as a mobile hotspot), 4G (HSPA+) connectivity, that is not as fast as LTE networks and fast 3G internet connection, using HSDPA, HSUPA and EDGE technologies. This phone works with a Micro SIM card to use GSM services.

This phone also includes a couple cool characteristics like Bluetooth (4.0), GPS (Global Positioning System) and FM Radio, and a couple sensors likeProximity Sensor and Accelerometer.

The Nokia Lumia 530 is being sold for about 180 dollars, a very high price for comparing with other similar cellphones.
