You can see from the title I didn’t say Nokia. I’m not saying the phone is not Nokia Lumia. It is. Its just that Microsoft will for sure drop the name Nokia very soon and I don’t know what will be the fate of all the currently branded (physically) Lumias. However here is the 4 inch display Nokia Lumia 530 which is now available in Kenya

First of all, I think this phone is an improvement to the 2013 best selling windows smartphone, the Lumia 530. The Lumia 520 won the hearts of many and up to now I am justified to say: it is value for the money. But I still wouldn’t buy it. For reasons like this:

No Flash on Back Camera
No Front Camera

The drawbacks on the Lumia 520 sadly are also present on the 530. I don’t know why they insist on not adding a front camera and incorporating flash. Why Nokia? Or should that be “Why Microsoft?”

Specifications

The Lumia 530 is a budget smartphone. It runs Windows Phone 8.1 meaning there’s the pull down notification bar Windows Phone users have been waiting for. The processor is a Quad Core Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 clocked at 1.2 GHz.
