released in both single SIM and dual SIM flavors, perfect for emerging markets, where such devices are the most sought after. [gallery link="file" columns="4" ids="68180,68181,68182,68183,68184,68185,68186"] Both variants come with 4-inch screen sizes, capable of delivering FWVGA (854 by 480 pixels) resolution, and are powered by the quad-core Snapdragon 200 processor flying at 1.2GHz. And as expected, the phone features 512MB of RAM, to go with 4GB internal storage, but luckily, also packs in a microSD card slot that can extend this capacity up to the dizzying heights of 128GB. A 5 megapixel camera sits on the back, though there is no front facing option. Here is a video that shows the Lumia 530 in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T663YbyHzDY Powered by Windows Phone 8.1, this budget set offers nearly all the advantages that more expensive devices in this lineup enjoy — Cortana, Action Center, World Flow, and apps like Creative Studio, Cinemagraph, Instagram, Skype and more. A slower processor, perhaps, but 1GB of RAM would probably have guaranteed a smoother performance when moving in and out of apps. But for what it costs, the Lumia 530 is a great option. It goes on sale all over the world in bright orange, bright green, white and dark grey.]]>

Great video advertisement. Really sells this as a high quality phone for a much cheaper price! I’m a believer in the Lumia, so I may end up purchasing this when it hits the market!
Is this a global release or strictly in UK? I say UK because of the man in the ad. Makes me think we may not see this in the states for a little while.
From those specs I fail to see what it has improved on from the L520… as it can be updated to W8.1 (DP at least so far) its just moved the buttons onscreen…
