We recently managed to get a brief hands-on with the Nokia Lumia 530 smartphone. Priced at a super affordable RM355, the device packs in impressive tech specs such as a 1.2Ghz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 processor with a 4.0-inch display featuring an 854 x 480 pixel resolution. Featuring the full Windows Phone 8.1 and Lumia Cyan update, this is currently the most affordable Windows Phone in the market. From what we could see of the device was that despite only having 512MB RAM, the smartphone performed quite smoothly, with no lag. Granted, the Lumia 530 is a bit thick, but it still fits nicely into the palm of your hand. Check out our hands-on pics and the full demo video below:
