talk time is the time period a battery charge will last, if one is constantly talking on the phone in a 2G cellular network. Design Information about the dimensions and weight of the device, shown in different measurement units. Body materials, available colors, certifications. Width The L2 (level 2) cache memory is slower than L1, but has a larger capacity, instead, which allows it to cache more data. Just like L1, it is much faster than the system memory (RAM). If the CPU does not find the data needed in L2, it proceeds to look for them in the L3 cache memory (if there is such) or in the RAM. Pixels are usually measured in microns (μm). Larger ones are capable of recording more light, hence, will offer better low light shooting and wider dynamic range compared to the smaller pixels. On the other hand, smaller pixels allow for increasing the resolution while preserving the same sensor size. The phone uses a quad-core Snapdragon 200 1.2GHz CPU, a low-end processor with really very low-power Cortex-A5 cores. A ‘quad-core’ tag is nice to have, but we imagine the Lumia 530 might perform better with the dual-core Cortex-A7 Snapdragon 200 used in the Motorola Moto E.

The instruction set architecture (ISA) is a set of commands used by the software to manage the CPU's work. Information about the set of instructions the processor can execute. Nokia Lumia 530 mobile was launched in July 2014. The phone comes with a 4.00-inch touchscreen display offering a resolution of 480x854 pixels. Nokia Lumia 530 is powered by a 1.2GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 processor. It comes with 512MB of RAM. The Nokia Lumia 530 runs Windows Phone 8.1 and is powered by a 1430mAh removable battery. Tilt the Lumia 530 left and it goes darker, tilt it right and it goes brighter and more washed-out. Turn the display more than a few degrees to the left and you get colour inversion, making the screen barely comprehensible at times. System on Chip (SoC) A system on a chip (SoC) includes into a single chip some of the main hardware components of the mobile device. SoCThere are a few positive things to say about the screen’s construction, though. It may not use Gorilla Glass 3, but the top glass layer does still seem to be pretty tough. Weak screen coverings tend to flex pretty easily under pressure, but with the Lumia 530 you have to press just as hard as you do with Gorilla Glass to make the screen distort. PC Advisor also considers the Lumia 530 to be worse than its predecessor, as it has a worse camera with fixed focus, instead of the auto-focus of the predecessor, half the storage size, and a worse graphics processor.

The Nokia Lumia 530 is an entry-level smartphone developed by Microsoft Mobile that runs the Windows Phone 8.1 operating system.Asphalt 8 runs, and looks fairly good despite missing out on lots of the visual flash you’d get in a high-end phone. However, it does get quite choppy when there are a few cars on screen, and the audio is quite broken throughout – something that is actually more annoying than the frame rate issues. However, you only need to switch on the Lumia 530 to see where Nokia has cut corners to keep the price down. The phone’s 4in 854×480 display not only has a noticeably grainy-looking finish, but its colour accuracy was also quite low. Our colour calibrator showed it was displaying just 67.1 per cent of the sRGB colour gamut, which is below average even by budget phone standards. This meant that colours didn’t look particularly rich or vibrant, and even altering the phone’s colour profile in the settings menu did little to improve its score.

stand-by time is the longest time a battery charge will last, if the device is not used but is constantly connected to the 3G mobile network. Microsoft made a bunch of important updates in the 8.1 edition that bring the system a little closer to these two, though. First, there’s now a drop-down menu of notifications and features switches.

The ISO rating or number is an indicator of how sensitive a camera's image sensor is to light. Image sensors operate within a specific ISO range. The higher the ISO rating is, the more sensitive to light the sensor is. The phone also has a pretty low-end screen. It’s four inches across and 480 x 854 pixels in resolution. These colours seem to be all the rage over at Nokia towers this year, being the same ones on offer for the Lumia 630 and Lumia 930. T-Mobile's version of the phone includes Wi-Fi calling for moments when that network is more robust and reliable than the carrier's voice network. Camera and video The weather was very cloudy and overcast when we took these photos, but colours aren’t too murky or muddy
