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:

The upcoming Nokia Lumia Superman is rumoured to be coming in August 2014 and may be the company's first selfie-centric smartphone. This would probably mean a 5MP or higher front camera.

After shutting down their non-Windows Phone based entry-level smartphones, Microsoft has just announced the Nokia Lumia 530 and Lumia 530 Dual SIM smartphones for the entry-level market. The Nokia Lumia 530 offers tech specs that include a 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 200 processor, 512MB RAM, 4GB of storage with up to 128GB microSD support, a 4-inch screen with 480 x 854 pixel resolution, a 5MP rear camera and a 1430 mAh battery.

The Nokia Lumia 930 was recently previewed here in Malaysia by Microsoft Devices and TechNave.com were invited. We managed to get some hands-on time with the Nokia Lumia 930 and it certainly feels premium. The 20.7MP camera captures some very nice images and is both fast and reliable. Targeting those premium users wanting to convert over to a Windows Phone 8.1 experience, the Nokia Lumia 930 feels solidly built. According to Steve Chan, Product Marketing Manager, Microsoft Devices, part of the reason for the polycarbonate backside is that it is more comfortable and scratch-proof compared to a metal back casing. While we'll have to agree with that, it doesn't give the same premium look that some other metal chassis smartphones have. In all, we were quite impressed with the new Nokia Lumia 930, but do check out the hands-on pictures and demo video in this article for yourself.
