The phone will also be supported by a 1.2GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 processor and an internal memory of 4GB which is expandable to 128GB with the help of a micoSD card.
For larger memory, the phone comes with an extra 15GB free OneDrive storage as well.
Lumia 530 sports a 5MP back camera but like its predecessors, it fails with a front-facing camera and a flash.
The phone run on Windows 8.1 and has a 1430mAh to support its life.
