Nokia Lumia 530 - User Reviews

  • Worse than the 520...

  • So sad.. We in the same boat

  • Please I don't know what is wrong I can not power off d phone,it will just write goodbye and stay that way till the battery drain

  • can i get a help because my nokia 530 ineeds a reprogram but how?

  • It's not a big issue. I am also the user of Nokia Lumia 530 and 2-3 days ago I was facing the same issue.you can easily go and check the Microsoft Support Canada to know the solution in detail. It really works for me.

  • Market place means??

  • It's alright for such a cheap price. Don't expect a large memory or good cameras.

  • Go to the website www.appx4fun.com via uc browser(you may use any other browser)....download the app/game...then come back to marketplace,tap on 'install local apps' and install the downloaded app/game to your device

  • It’s the worst phone I’ve ever had, I used it less than a year but now the mother board needs to be changed. Still in good condition though

  • This is The END My friend..... 8.1 phones have been stop receiving updates and supoprt from 01.07.2017 ..... END for all 8.1 phones.. now you are on your own

  • it cant down load uber's app properly nor it work on my phone. i am facing a lot of embarrassment. is there any one can help me in this regard?

  • It is the worst phone I have never used in my carries battery is very bad they do not give any update u won't get most of official apps for this mobile ..... I recommend u to buy other phones like Moto..etc

  • How can i delete internal memory that says it is full but there is no data on the internal memory of my phone

  • Battery runs out quickly. I do not use a lot of applications, only for twenty minutes of calls a day and the next day, or a half a day, the battery is empty! Phone is good, fine, but the battery must have been put stronger!

  • its a nice phone but easily to get virus, mine it as stoped charging and the 4GB is not enough, please advise were I can take this to repair charging system

  • I m purchasing this mobile in October 7, 2014. It's a Wonderful mobile in my life. It's no repair. But, Phone memory is automatically Filled. 4gb Phone memory is not enough. Application and Games are not sent/receive. LCD screen is Smooth. But, Afternoon time or outside this is not cleared display. Battery backup is very powerful. Continuously playing music it's play 3 days. I will checked. Camera quality ok. But not extraordinary. Very fast internet connection in 2g. Smoothly playing games in 512mb RAM. My purchasing rate is 6200. Buy this mobile friends. It's your best friend of your life.

  • disadvantage: does not application sharing. advantage: fast in browsing.

  • the reason it does that is because it crashes, i used to have the phone until i transitioned from that to a huawei nova, th lumia is only half a gb ram fast, it easily crashes when it has alot of background apps running yours sincerely david

  • Dont believe battery life, standby is about 72hrs if using about 5hrs.

  • No updated apps

  • Good only for secondary phone in case your other breaks. Very poor app store without updates. Avoid

  • when i am surfing on facebook after 3-4 minut its automatically off can somebody helps mee ?

  • Nice looking

  • its the shittiest phone i ever had in my entire life, no popular apps, when i want to post something somewhere there are like 80% it will get out of the app and i have to start all over again, battery is shit, camera is shit, the whole package is shit 2/10.

  • Reset ur phone and download whatapp.

  • Hello guys... Doesn't buy this phone...nokia lumia 530 It's hv much problem in apps... There are no good apps in its store. Nor good in app sharing and share it doesn't work. To buy it a wastage of money

  • I'll like to setup WhatsApp

  • forgot password so i cant download whatsapp what can i do

  • If you buy an unlocked phone there usually won't be a sim included. Prepaid packages with the phone do include a new sim, but generally that means the phone is locked to that carriers network.

  • Help does this phone come with a sim card, if not where can I purchase one.

  • Nokia 1018 bisa buat BBM ga sih.?

  • How do you transfer contacts to him card on this phone x

  • This is a good phone for calling texting and for social media activity. Sound quality is okay. Camera and video quality is good compared to the budget class of phones it represents. But not suitable for intensive gaming, browsing larger websites such as amazon or ebay etc is not possible. Also not too many apps available for WP. Overall a decent mobile phone, can't compare this to modern android or ios phones nowadays. Battery life is good.

  • Am having troubles changing the email account on my lumia 530, please who can guide me through; on how to go about it? Many thanks in advance.

  • it is very good phone i love the lumia 530

  • very good phone used for 8 months now and give me no problem. also can play great games like asphalt 8

  • This Mobile is Verry Good Mobile

  • Very poor

  • This phone is an okay phone if your going bye It for someone who just cares about making calls and a bit of social media and apps or if it is for someone's first phone it's a straight forward, easy to handle phone. If you want my actuall opinion just get the Lumia 550 because it has a way better camera, ram , vide quality and resolution the the Lumia 530 although the colours are very vibrant and attractive don't be lured into this money- wasting product!! 👌😎

  • very good budget smartphone but the screen nowadays is small even for budget Phone standards. I would recommend this if you like smaller phones but if you want a bigger one better go for Lumia 550 or 640 with 4.7 and 5 inch screens. Also W10 mobile on them two.

  • download heavy games from appx4fun,known as xap file from your browser or anywhere and move it to sd manually ,then restart your phone,wait for some time,open store for 3-4 times thereafter open menu from which you choose"my apps",home or "downloads" ,this time u can see a option "install local files" click on it and then your phone will dectect it and then install it,make sure your internet connection is on during this process,it will install your app without downloading from store,enjoy!

  • nice budget smart phone...

  • It's a pretty good phone 📱. Sometimes it lags a bit while playing heavy games like asphalt series,real steel etc otherwise it's fantastic in everything. It does a great job as a 512 mb RAM device😊😊

  • i need window 10 on my 530

  • Am looking for a cord to unlock Lumia 530. I got it as a present from my friend. Thanks

  • its not support big HD video!

  • i upgraded the software on my 530 then after it started sayin i should download the demo content which i did the momement i did all contents in my sd card were erased and this has happened twice the first time was due to thr installation of the demo contentent bu the second time is quiet a mystery to me what could be the problem please help me i dont want this to happen again

  • nokia 530 is not allow for windows 10 upgrade :(

  • i think there is no upgrade to win 10 for lumia 530.

  • maybe you are not a very heavy game playing users. i have this phone too. but when the game runs long time, the phone will crush down the game and i need to restart the game again.

  • maybe your internal space is full or your sd card is full. so it may want you to solve the insufficient space problem first

  • this phone can't upgrade to win 10

  • How can I upgrade it to Windows 10?

  • It´s a fine phone...and my last phone was a 5800 expressmusic with symbian OS(8 years). It´s a bit more annoying at the start because everything nowadays requires a internet connection and a microsoft account, but it becomes pretty good at the end and useful.

  • Honestly I've noticed so many of your comments and I think most of you suffer from lack of understanding the proper use of the phone. My Lumia is base model, I work on the sea and have experienced no problems for years. This phone is awesome and if you adjust your settings you'd see its true too.

  • ..just dont know how to openline my nokia lumia 530...help me..pls..

  • I purchased it before 15 months. Its very nice till now,no lag, no hang no freeze, good net & wifi, no switch off, not able to believe how can this feedback. May be not update w8 or not able to understand. I think I always use wp.

  • I am using this phone lumia 530 . i can not find any problem but the big size game downloading like asphalt overdrive. whenever i want to download big games it shows that it cannot be downloaded if i don't connect wifi. if some one have the solution please post it . Thank you.

  • Maybe your brand is a china made or it may be infected wid virus. Mine never cruses. The Nokia 530 does a pretty job allthough it aint the Best.

  • it has an update for windows 10 btw lol

  • the mobie was very good for specialy windows system but sending otipns not very well work like sharit and zapya ,xender xertammm..

  • Close ur eyes imagine W10 image then relax for few minutes u r ol set to go .. In your dreams the phone will be updated to W10..B.O.L

  • Well, i have this phone from my uncle, it does its job as a phone(call, texting,...), but as a smartphone?, not really. the apps is poor, camera is blurry, sometimes it freeze and i got to reboot it, if the apps are a little too heavy, it will crash, even watching videos on youtube can sometimes crash the browser. But still, the battery is pretty great (as for me), only use it to surf facebook, listen to music, text sometimes, and it can survive for 2 day and a half with a fully charged battery

  • just push the windows icon

  • i bought a 530 anjd the battery died after 12 mnths then i bought 630 and the loudspeaker doesnt work its crap

  • Honestly, this phone really sucks. Everytime I try to do something it will either freeze or crash. It's speakers will stop working for literally MONTHS, it automatically reboots, bad battery life, it has a tendency to do this annoying thing where it decides that none of my apps will be working (happening to me right now btw),doesn't have apps like other phones, and sometimes some weird filter thing pops up on my browser when I try to go on the internet. I wouldn't buy this no matter how cheap it may be because I've seen so many other people have the same problems.

  • how do u use the keyboard during a call please

  • Most frustrating to use, the thing powers on or off everytime you pick it up due to bad power button placement, has some good features, still sticking with my old phone, much easier to use.

  • How to install Windows Phone 10?

  • its a nice phone only if you can do with a store having no apps that android and ios have even if they r then they r paid,it has very bad battery life,freezes regularly. apps cant be resumed they either restart or get closed.phones goes blacks at any piont of time and rstarts other wise its a good phone!!!!!!!LOL

  • this phone freezes and switches off itself

  • I really hate this phone 📱 it always freezes and turns off by its self

  • I like yours saying dude

  • What means denim update?

  • Good phone never gets hot and laggy if you use it whom day then also it won't get hot

  • overall it is a good phone, it does not have many apps in the store and can crash quite easily. i would give this phone a 6 out of 10

  • It's a nice phone but the the problem is that there are no apps like android in microsoft

  • It is very good mobile. It never hang.

  • Hi.i have a Nokia Lumia 530.i have apps on it,Whatsapp ect ect

  • Exact same problem, like if multiple people are having the exact same problem then it's got to be the phone. I nearly chucked the thing across my room quite a few times, only thing holding me back is the fact that i spent my hard earned money on it which i fully regret.

  • I'm usually not one to complain but this phone is horrible to me. It freezes so randomly, sometimes when i try to open my apps it will let me tap on it stay black for a few seconds then automatically goes back to the menu, kind of the same with the internet. I can be on the internet minding my own business then it will freeze for like one minute then send me to the menu screen and when I tap to go back to the internet the page will be blank i legit have to add important pages to my favorite just in case it happens again, shouldn't have to do that. I was watching a cute little video on youtube but when i turned the phone to get a better view it, of course, froze. I wish I had gotten a warning from the store before i got it now everywhere i go i hear how they wouldn't suggest anyone get this phone.....I see why now and I also wouldn't recommend it. I should have spent that 10 extra dollars on the android because they also said they hear nothing but good reviews on those.

  • Don't wast your money. Don,t purchase any nokia Lumia phone because there is no apps are available which friends have. I have nokia Lumia phone and after purchasing this i feel cheated..

  • Good budget phone.

  • This phone is good in budget wise but in performance and features it lacks. Apps are not available on windows, system restrictions changed my views about WP.

  • Superb butget mobile @Nokia Lumia windows phone 📱 530

  • Yes Nokia 530 supports 720p videos after denim update..

  • If youre on a tight budget and looking for a simple phone for calling, texting and social media posting - then this is your phone. But if you are a heavy gamer and browser user, then this is not your phone. For its price, you can't ask for more so dont expect TOO much for a Snapdragon 200, 512mb ram and 1430mAh phone to do just like what a flagship phone does. Im satisfied with this phone and i can rate it 8 out of 10 (10 being the highest).

  • No zoom, no flash, apps that are free on android cost for Windows phone or don't exist at all. Cannot add ringtones from favourite music. Battery needs recharging everyday, yahoo mail error cannot read email, ymess old version, needs refreshing to actualize.volume button goes on - in pocket and you cannot hear people calling. Switched from Htc desire x to this because I broke the screen, going back to android. Used phone for 10 months, can't wait to change it. Don't recommend to anyone.dissapointed!

  • nice fhone

  • The Nokia 530 is the most sh!t phone on the galaxy. Too slow too bad. No good apps. Waste of money don't buy.

  • My phone doesn't download Whatsapp, it says this app can be downloaded from a Wifi network. I even failed to open a received files from Bluetooth devices, and failed to reset it.

  • nope

  • It takes to much time to open any apps.. really a big head akhe with this phone.. needs to improve a lot

  • Nokia Lumia 530 takes too much time for opening small size whatsapp photos/videos

  • Is this phone support 720p video format

  • Going to buy Bluetooth handsfree car kit for someone who has this phone. Will it work. Says compatible with any Bluetooth phone. Thank you for any advice.

MICROSOFT Windows STORE.... 😈😈😈....

  • If the phone is unlocked you can use any sim. If not, go to a local phone shop and ask if they can unlock it. They use pc software to unlock the device. Usually don't cost that much.

  • I have lumia 530 can work with nigeria sim please how can I unlock it

  • you just don't utilize it properly, and you don't know what you are saying

  • You're in the wrong forum, go tell android fans how good your beloved fragmented android OS is with all it's lagging and security issues.

  • Don't even buy these phones windows phones suck big time android. Rules

  • Yeah just click volume up and power button together

  • games available for lumia 530

  • you should restore the phone now or update its software.

  • Good phone

  • Power backup is very weak for continues net browsing or playing games. It does last even 3 hours. But for moderate talktime on 2G, it is sufficient for a day.

  • Rest to factory, to free your memory.Block updates.Update only critical for the phone.Instal all apps on card.You will have the best phone at this price.

  • Yes this phone is a piece of crap

  • My downloaded games does not work after a few months, can't download anything now. I am fed up with this phone.

  • Windows Phone devices offer the best experience at these prices.

  • Don't buy this phone just because you want to experience windows. It would of a loss of money as you can get an excellent Android phone at this range.

  • Can Nokia lumia 530 downloaded 12MB in 5min?n how files are continues?

  • For the price,this is a great phone! Its super fast and has everything you need! I would highly recommend it!

  • No any lumia device have 4 gb of rom wont get windows 10

  • is my lumia 530 update to window 10

  • It has a store app and the bsckside comes in the colours grey, orange, white and green.

  • Or 12345

  • 530 will not support windows 10 due to 4gb of storage.

  • Type 0000 or 1234 to unlock the pin code

  • This Phone is so bad. I have it for 8 months now and is full of lag. Apps crash and the camera quality is lame. Don't buy it, after a few months is trash.

  • It's a good phone..i have a 8 gb memorycard in mine wich gives it a lot of space..free mp3s you'll find at mp3.pm when you'll browse with the phone..and at tubidy.mobi

  • my nokialumia530 is asking me an unluck code

  • Good speed, battery, and video clearity but poor still image. The quality of camera is bed in low light condition.

  • does this phone have playstore and does it come in colour or is it just black ???

  • The device is good. No lags and fluid. The windows phone 8.1 os is so smooth that you dont need to reboot your device everyday. The battery is awesome you can surf the net all day. This device might have your below specs but the os integration is so stable. You can feel no lags. I prefer buying this than android devices if you net to budget for the next sem.

  • I have this phone since the end of July is working fine , no problems with the phone after Windows 8.1 update and after i purchased a memory card enough to install few music albums and few aplications because this phone supports 128 Gb the brand is Kingston it works very nice with Nokia phone , all you need is a data cable with micro USB to transfer music and to synchronize music from phone with that on PC , also works fine with my router , per total if you protect it and buy a cover with leather or something similar will resist to any fall or impact by mistake ...

  • The camera quality is so bad it doesn't even zoom or focus, crashes everyday , cannot multi task, lack of apps . There are so many things wrong with this phone . The software is appalling the phone randomly shuts down whilst in use I had this checked out but there was nothing wrong with it that's just how the phone performs. It is just a cheap back up phone really. Literally no apps are compatible with the sd card so there is no point in one and the phone comes with 4gb and the system application takes up half this space then there is hardly any space for anything else the only thing good about it is its toughness which is thanks to Nokia the rest of the Windows software is notbgood in my opinion thank god I'm switching to another phone soon this phone has gave me hell for the past 4 months. I recommend keeping to androids or even an apple phone Windows phones are not good

  • i want this phone

  • I am not an expert, but yes. Mine has clogged most of built in memory while many applications refuse to utilize the available sd-card memory. I'm moving on to a different phone soon. Got tired of Microsoft using me as lab rat for their failing project.

  • It doesn't have enough memory to run and update its factory installed apps. Do you need more reasons? It doesn't work properly with many webpages, wikipedia for instance. I sometimes wonder if Microsoft has any idea what kind of counterproductive thing for their image this phone actually is. If they wanted to succeed they'd recall all units and replace them with something useful or just a wad cash for disappointed users to buy a different phone.

  • Yes!!!!!! Give me other reasons why i would not buy the nokia lumia 530???????

  • nokia-lumia-530:mode:1017

  • hey there, Just wondering if you know if it is normal for the operating system on this phone to use up all the memory. thanks in advance

  • It does not have enough memory to run factory installed applications properly, let alone other non Microsoft applications you might like to have. SD-card doesn't help as Lumia Camera for example can not be used with SD-card memory. That being said I wonder if all the 'sudden' positive comments after each realistic description of what this thing is actually about are genuine users comments.

  • I like it, it's fast and has wifi, it's possible to put it on 2g net-connection wich makes cheaper browsing

  • It's possible to send mp3s by bluetooth but not videos unless the videos have been sent by bluetooth to the phone

  • This is really a good phone in the price of 7,000... U can trust this phone.... Doesn't even hangs... I'm impressed with it...

  • The automatic downloads block up the phone memory. Demand your money back. They sold you something that does not do what its supposed to.

  • i also don't know the sme problem wd me.

  • Don't buy it. Crap phone.

  • Get rid of it. I am looking for a new one already - this is a phone you wouldn't want even if they paid you to have it. It is designed to force you to use exclusively outdated Microsoft apps. Everything else will be a problem, SD card will be damaged and useless, so don't waste your Tim and money. Yeah and it edits your text without asking. I wrote time, it edited it to Tim got tired tapping this unresponsive screen to correct it. Do you need more reasons to stay away?

  • Is there something I can set so it dosnt use so quike data

  • Yeah and when I eventually reached support they were clueless. Answer was reset to factory settings as in their opinion phone has no problems what so ever. Apparently we are all imbecils and we just imagine that phone has heaps of problems even with basic and factory installed applications.

  • I'm trying to get games like doubleu casino, soda crush,PET rescue and others but I'm getting trouble to do so.why?please help me.

  • Hi, I purchased a Nokia Lumia 530. It was clearly a mistake. When I click on apps sometimes it boots me right out and shows me the home screen. I purchased a sim card becuase the Nokia Lumia 530 can only hold like 1 mb. I half way used the card and it says so storage space. i go on storage sense and i have lots of storage left. I tried deleting pictures and videos and apps but it says "sorry can'y delete at this time". I try to attach pictures to emails so I click the attach button, choose the photo and click done. Then I look in the "compose" email section and the picture is not there.You can't even email videos on the Nokia Lumia 530. And sometimes it says can not send email.****** REFRESHING DOES NOT WORK FOR THE PROBLEMS LISTED******. On instagram there is no dm and video and most apps are not in the windows apps store or it in dumb beta Videos in you Instagram feed do NOT play. There is no front camera on the Nokia Lumia 530 nor is there a timer so you can take a selfie. I had to download FOUR camera apps when on any other phone you can use one app for all of that. People say the NOKIA'S are known fpr their camera, but the camera isn't that good. The phone does not come with basic apps that are pretty much on the average phone. Also on FLIPAGRAM it says "can not make flip because of bad connectivity" when i have 5 bars and 4g. There is audio - visual delay on Netflix and much more is wrong with this phone. Buy if you like wasting your money. iI'd give it 0 stars of I could. Nothing is good with this phone. I know iPhones are way more expensive, but it is worth it.

  • Believe me ive owned this for a year its the worst phone ive ever had.

  • Want to puchase this phone . Please advise if it is a good one.

  • Thank god people.... almost got two of these on contract "buy 1, get 1 free deal" for R99(South African Rand) per month x 24.... or at R999 pre paid (100$ +/-) Thinking its a GREAT phone from MicroSoft as if they trying to under cut there compitition from the S Class... Wanted to mainly use it for Whats App, and thinking it would have a upgrade to Windows 10 and now and then use Google Maps / Gps... So glad i read these comments... as im already using a 4 year old SammySung which is already getting slow... to of had my hopes up with this phone and then it giving me half the problems any of you guys mentioned..... i would of smashed this phone in my hand ... (i used to repair mobile phones for 5years+, when angry with a phone would hold it with one hand in a cup shape and then smash the phone in, with my other hand in the middle of the phone cauzing it to break in half and be the end of the life of the phone in seconds) So i had o take tine in ny already slow phone to type this out thanking you guys and girls for your review on the Nokia 530. HOWEVER.... if someone thinks i am crazy and that this phone will provide me with great service and speed and space, please comment your experience with this phone........... Thank you very much for taking your time reviewing.... Cape Town

  • I believe you confuse RAM with built in memory. RAM is low and limitations are in speed and such. Built in memory is barely enough for OS and mine just because I need to use WhatsApp is lower than suggested for updates to load correctly according to Microsoft support. Lumia camera app stopped working, screen here is so-so responsive - trouble moving cursor around text to make changes. The list of issues is extensive. To try and solve Lumia camera problem Microsoft(it was just a shot in the dark as person there was quite clueless about issues with this phone) suggested returning to factory settings. If I have to delete everything and start from scratch I'll do that on a different phone by anything but Microsoft.

  • If you want to use Whatsapp or other common apps that demand some phone memory forget this phone. Google maps are embarrasingly slow on this one, too. A phone to begin with just to discover what you need from a smartphone and why you wouldn't ever want anything by Microsoft - even their higher end phones seem to have small built in memories to make sure you are forced to use Microsoft apps and solutions. It isn't expensive, but even then it is not worth it and being so relatively newly launched it will be among the fastest ones to become obsolete. Thumbs down big time Microsoft.

  • super mobile but........

  • It is confirmed that Lumia 530 will not get Windows 10 update because the minimum requirement is at least 8GB internal storage. If you are thinking of buying this phone AND want Windows 10, STOP now!

  • A good phone, good quality and continuing good old day Nokia.. :) I love this phone. However perhaps the screen is smaller than what I need. If you have bigger budget, than perhaps you would switch to higher end Nokia phone - Nokia Lumia 520 or 535.

  • Neither videos

  • Very sensitive phone. Very difficult to insert SIM, I broke my touch screen while trying to get it open. Cheap version in Plastic. However, stable OS and very quick response time. Good if you really take care of it.

  • windows 10 cant update in lumia 530

  • ..bluetooth not working to send mp3s..

  • Windows phones have a app for hide ur vidoes and pictures,app name secure files

  • transfer the videos in to the camera photos folder , then the videos will apper in the photos folder .

  • if windows phone support apps like inroid phone do then it may be aosome.but not...

  • You are wrong, it is OK, if you're running out of RAM, that is your doing (n00bness, absence of understanding, call it as you please).

  • anyone can help me with the internet connection... ?? it can connect to wifi but it cannot search, it says problem conrction data... what shud i do to it??

  • anyone can help me with the internet connection... ?? it can connect to wifi but it cannot search, it says problem conrction data... what shud i do to it??

  • This phone is not OK at all. Already two applications are queuing up for upgrade as there is not enough phone memory left. SD-card memory for some reason is not acceptable for series of simple and very commonly used apps. Lumia Camera does not work any longer (less than 4 months use). Contact Microsoft support? Forget it - Microsoft seems to have gone underground - chat doesn't work, complaint form disappeared with no e-mail receipt contrary to what was promised and phone call is sent in an endless loop.

  • Phone is ok. smoothly working,good looking. But windows OS have some limitations like app locker, photo locker. Its irritate.

  • via usb

  • pls tell call record option

  • Memory clogged after couple updates and new apps refuse to load into SD card - explicitly state that phone memory is required. Camera stopped working right now. Junk, don't bother. Microsoft can pack up and die or go to school and return later, but please don't use us as lab rats for your failing projects.

  • testing 123 phonecracker coming soon

  • This is a good budget phone,all features are working fine.. But I feel very bad is the navigation bar is not hide when play video.. Can any one help me how to remove or hide this navigation bar.please help me..

  • Does the lumia 530 have the same S/N as its battery?

  • has anyone found a better way to answer an in coming call on the 530 other as per 3 mentioned by Gerald below?

  • Good phone but for 3 SERIOUS DESIGN DEFECTS.1. The ON/ OFF button is on the side of phone exactly were your finger rests when picking up the phone. This causes un intended ON/OFF.2. Speaker is located at the back of phone and if kept face up on a smooth surface,the ringer cannot be heard. 3. During an incoming call one has to first flip up the screen and then press Answer key. Answer key should come up straight away like in other phones.

  • please i have this lumia530,but anytime you insert a sim in,it keep saying you should put an unlock key.and i have taken it to so many places but they cant just rectify the situation for me.please there is any help please help me.and this is the IMEI:354242062155411. and the model is RM-1018.thanks

  • I carry the phone Nokia Lumia in my pocket and the phone calls people by itself! Due to this Nokia phone I lost money and have problems with my boss. Nokia Lunia cannot be used as a phone! To repair this problem, Nokia must introduce a new function to block the outgoing calls but allow the incoming calls. Another problem - I try to copy the number in Opera and this phone begins calling! Also I don't need the button for Bing seacrh.

  • You should disable background apps in the battery saber. It will stop them from working and youll probably not receive notifications from them, but your device will run faster and it won't overheat anymore

  • the screen is too fragile

  • My lumia when I made acall,it failed to be cut and stop functioning

  • how can i use it as a hotspot? which one ia the best browser to use in it?

  • This is a highly underestimated mobile. I bought this as a backup and MP3 player replacement but I have been impressed by the smoothness of its OS given it is only a budget offering. It is now available at a very reasonable price. Recommended.

  • Can the internal memory intall data such as music,videos n some ensychropidias?

  • Poor performance playing 1080p video on my Lumia 530

  • Just returned mine. The curved profile at each end means a standard 3.5mm earphone jack, or an end-to-end you would use to connect via aux-in to your stereo, simply will not fit it. Why does nobody mention this? So forget about using an earpiece for calls, for the radio or listening to music - WHICH IS THE ONLY REASON I BOUGHT IT IN THE FIRST PLACE!! I should have checked this first - the samsung galaxy mini has the same problem. I will not but another phone without going instore with an earpiece jack to test first.

  • I have used the phone for seven months but it heats alot especially when answering a call or using internet. What can I do? I am scared

  • considering the price, the phone is amazing! I use it with no lags! camera and screen quality is not the best, but for the price it's amazing! loved the phone!

  • I have this phone. It is good but it has its cons. What I hate about this phone is : -Too small storage, I can't barely download any app from the store apart from the ones I need like instagram, facebook, viber and WhatsApp - Apps cost money, you will see three quarters of the apps and games in the store that cost money are FREE in google play store, I mean, nearly 55% (according to my mind) of the apps and games cost money. Games like Minecraft PE, Monument Valley etc.. Are money in the store but not in google play store or iPhone's app store.ps, there are some apps that would be nice to have on Lumia like snapchat

  • Press Enter, then you jump to the next line. But make sure you disable sending messages by pressing Enter, disable it in settings.

  • how do i block certain numbers from my phone

  • How can I change paragraph while typing on WhatsApp?

  • The good: Fast CPU = smooth performance. Tons of storage thanks to the way windows phones use SD cards like a PC uses a HDD. Fantastic interface. Good battery life. The bad: Horrid camera, Horrid screen, No camera flash to use as a flashlight via an app. No front camera for skype. Outcome: Great second phone, something you can carry without worrying about it getting smashed, cheaper to buy one of these than to replace the screen on a flagship phone. Not recommended as a main phone due to poor screen and camera. But for around $59-$69 delivered you can't go wrong.

  • It's a 3g phone, doesn't matter if you put a 4g sim in. Still a 3g phone . . .

  • it need space on ur phone to update not on memory card...so mke sure u move sum of ur apps to sd card b4 u download.

  • I have the 530 on cricket. Switched to cricket after being a Verizon customer due to loss of income. Was expecting the phone to be mediocre as compared to the typical devices I was paying $200 on contract for. I am incredibly surprised not only at the quality of the device but fell in love with Windows out of the blue. Great device. Battery life is my only real complaint, but again, for $29 and I own it, you just can't complain.

  • It's very poor phone. It has several problems. Touch of this phone is very bad. Suddely the screen is blinking continuously...wrost of money.

  • is it good size ?

  • yes i have never seen such a poor set

  • is this set orignal battery is available in the market or with nokia care center?

  • Great phone. The first Windows Phone I have used, and I can't see myself going back to Apple or Android. Perfect design, brilliant keyboard on Windows 8.1, terrific overall build quality - Nokia still has "it"!

  • I have purchase this phone through flipkart.

  • I bought this mobile 6 months ago and it's nothing but trouble. I bought a 4G SIM card and when the phone was sent away for repair, because one of the prongs where the SIM is inserted, broke off, it came back as a 3G. Very Disappointed.

  • To remove the back, hold it in your right hand face down in your palm, put your left thumb on the camera lens whilst grabbing the corner closest to mic hole with your left pointer finger, apply pressure to the camera lens with your thumb and the back should pop off. This is the correct way to remove it as indicated by an instructional sticker that was attached to the back of my phone when purchased.

  • This lumia is to bad because after some time it automatically format itself.so all the data was deleted.Never buy this lumia

  • I bought this phone 5 months back. Pros. It lives up to the Nokia brand name, I have dropped this more than a dozen of times but still works fine. Great music quality. Datasense helps keep track of data usage if u are using a dynamic data package Cheap for what it offers Cons Back cover is slippery Hard to install cracked apps Fixed focus camera

  • Yes, chuck at least a 16GB memory card in the phone to make it fly.

  • Very solid, stylish and above all fast phone. The camera is very clear and the whole phone feels extremely well made and robust. I like Windows 8.1 and the fact that the phone is made by Nokia speaks volumes as to the overall build quality. Very impressed!

  • I have just bought this phone from Amazon. Firstly, has anyone got an easy way to remove the back? Secondly, I transferred my Sim card from a Samsung Galaxy phone. It worked the first time I turned it on after charging the battery. Suddenly it went dead with a blank screen. It has been on charge since Sunday and this morning my Alarm call went off but I cannot get the phone to do anything. Thirdly, I have not inserted a Memory Card. Is such a card necessary? What kind and what size do I need? I am disabled and I am presently housebound and I really need this phone so I would be grateful for help. Thank you.

  • Do you have cortana on your phone? If yes the click and hold search icon situted at the bottom of your phone and speak ''Ease of access'' then cortana will launch narrator settings for you. There, you can click on narrator and turn it off. I had the same problem and took an hour to get ride of it.

  • Has anybody figured how to bypass registering with Microsoft and getting just the few necessary applications on the open market rather than commiting to Microsoft corporation? To let big corporation steer your life and consumption pattern seems outrageous and should be made illegal. Anyone knows of NGOs that try to counter such abuses against individual freedom of choice?

  • Even though there is a lenghthy demo on how to zoom in help pages, mine is not zoming, too. Can it be that this phone does not have this function at all and the whole thing is a part of misleading advertising?

  • How to put in the battery

  • yes but once you remove the card it goes missing

  • Good phone but no camera zooming.

Use files app which is the best file manager app for windows phones that u can send/copy/paste ur media files easy

  • Its perfect. I haven't so far felt any problem, except for the camera for it is fixed focus but it provides a fine reso nonetheless. Touch is superb. Smooth functionality. But its not very user friendly. Nothing would match with android. But once you get to know WP you ll feel fantastic. Its superior to any other OS I ve ever used. Windows Phone is damn cool and 530 gives so much in such an amazing price. Its totally worth it.

  • Why it doesn't download any application?

  • Overall is it a good phone for people on a budget?

  • Its feb 2015, my 11yrold boy got this very old looking flip phone from his grandparents. He instantly was not happy. I said how much did you pay , £50 they said. I went searching for special offers, half prices etc. And landed this lumia 530 for £40 from Argos. He was over the moon, does all the appetc he wants. Rakes a 128 gb ds card for his music etc. And when i used it i was impressed for the price. Ive owned galaxy ace, s2,s3, iPhone 5. Ipad 2. And i gota say for 40 pounds its great. Verity responsive to the touch. Menus options etc are layer out trying to be easy to use GUI but so etime so seems harder. This is a basic cheap gd functioning windows phone. Specs are gd too. I wouldn't wanna pay £80 but 40/60 £ is money well spent. Personally i have gone back to my very old Samsung just bells and whistles. And i love it for 3 reasons, battery lasts forever. I dont care if i lose it. And even less cared if i drop it as it's always fine. Lmao

  • Check out the Microsoft support page for the denim update to see if your phone already can get the update in your region.

  • This is my first smart phone and once i found my way around i was very impressed the windows 8 is easy to use although things aren't always where you'd expect them but overall good value nice phone

  • Cheap phone! Feels cheap, looks cheap and... is cheap! It is not a "state of the art" phone but it has a fast processor and some good features like the 5mpx camera, the "big" screen or the W8.1 OS. It has some limitations like the fixed focus camera, NO proximity sensor, low ram size, crappy battery life, but hey... it´s cheap - it is supposed to SUCK!! But it doesn´t. Or at least, not so much! It really surprised me. I read many reviews stating it was a "entry level phone" or "low cost phone", but i still got one. And the only disappointing fact, for me, was the battery life. It only lasts for 2 days (heavy usage)! Compared to my lg l3 E400 wich lasts 3 days in heavier usage after one year of use! Maybe i am a "low cost consummer" and despite what reviews say, i am happy with it. I understand that there will always exist a phone rank but it is time to people realise that you get what you pay for, there are no hidden miracles, but is important that should be you who decides what to buy. Maybe (some) reviewers should stick to phone they are testing instead of stupid comparisons with better/newer models, looking like we are the richest bastards on earth to blow up a fortune buying that week´s top notch phone!! Hey... it is a nokia, and those guys know how to make phones!

  • amazing phone.... I bought my headset from snapdeal in just 5300... nd in this price range it is a killer mobile.... amazing speed... no hangup problem...

  • I lust say this Nokia is a very good smartphone , even if is not expencive, he look expencive, is good cam, good too find apps, and too end a call, he dont go back, and i like the light on screen, i love this telephone, which other telephone for that price has a real 5 pix cam?

  • Can anyone tell me if this phone has the Cortana app please?

  • You have a faulty proximity sensor. This is a hardware fault and you should return the phone. Smart phones, with a touch sensitive display, have a sensor that detects whenthe phone is held close to the face - this turns off the display and touch sensors so that you don't trigger the screen by accident. The Nokia 800 series had a repuation for this failing, giving exactly the issue you are facing. I was able to replace my sensor (search ebay for a replacement part) but it's a fiddle.

  • I have the same problem. Hopefully someone will respond with the solution

  • I'm encountering a terribly annoying problem with this phone - after making calls the screen refuses to illuminate thereby making it impossible to end calls unless it is done by the receiver. Pls who can help with this????

  • Have you tried to change the font size at settings > ease of access (or something like that at the options)!? (sorry for the English :b)

  • The phone only reads what's inside of it when the software (of the phone) is installed! (sometimes you just need to change the USB port or re-insert de USB connection)! (sorry for the English, hope it helped)!

  • I do not understand your question

  • it's nonsense, Lumia devices are very good. If you have a bad experience it doesn't mean others have, and it doesn't mean on ALL Lumia devices. Lumia = quality. Am using Lumia since a very long time and I have had zero problems. For me these phones are just what you need, they always work.

  • the phone is simple and very good, I would recommend everybody to buy this phone when you're looking for a cheap smartphone. Good quality, Nokia is the best. change covers for a different look, micro sd support, responive screen. this device is superb on a tight budget.

I would by this over any budget phone on the market. my only bad point is that it could be a bit thinner.

  • The lumia 530 IS a budget phone so that it has some limitations To

  • can you forward a sent sms to another number?

  • The Nokia Lumia 530, I think is a very good phone... It has auto correct, WiFi, good enough camera (5MP, a high quality screen and you can set a password for your lock screen.

  • Does this fone have pattern lock????

  • Picked up this little phone at Target to work as a second phone line for working from home. Didn't want to give customers my real mobile number. Had an extra line I was not using as part of the 4 lines for $100 thru T-Mobile. Loaded all the basic stuff just fine. No, it will not load apps from Google Play but I was able to get my gmail account synced just fine. Really surprised myself when I found an app called Tubecast (I am a big fan of Chromecasting). Was able to Chromecast from my local network on MP4 files and also able to cast anything that I could search for within the Tubecast app. Had to purchase a $30 pay as you go card but that can be applied to my T-Mobile account balance with a quick stop in a store. So, net amount paid for the phone of $40 and it is just fine for a side phone to slip in my pocket. My real phone is a Note 3 which is great but can be a monster of a thing to carry around.

  • Hi there, i received the nokia 530 as gift and i am actually using a nokia 700. I would like to know how can I transfer my data especially my text messages and notes from the nokia 700 to the nokia 530. Thank u.

  • its really a great phone! one thing is that facebook messenger cant be called :( how am i gonna fix this? any help pls.. :(

  • I was given this phone as a gift. My old phone did not have much only texts and calls. I was surprised that as soon as I had put the sim card in and started to set the phone up my rexts started coming through with the amount of internet charges i had used. Up to £50. This was a shock now I wish I had stayed with my old phone.

  • Sounds like a dud, never had any sim issues. What you guys think about upgrading to 630?, is it worthwhile, 530 seems to do mostly ok.

  • Go to settings bro click data connection and switch on

  • No flash bro and front camera ð��· but camera is just awesome

  • No. its a windows phone

  • does lumia 530 support android ?

  • Ex.info This is a really cool phone very cheap and good I know how some of you will feel about getting a cheap phone but this is excellent I would recommend it to anyone especially for kids its not a basic phone if you think. Instagram,Whatsapp and other things like facebook are also included but it is a Windows phone 8 so don't expect it to be like an android.

  • i uses lumia 530 dual sim..is de best fone ever..but battery drains early..

  • I have the same problem while using uc browser

  • County depend. Here 530 can find almaost all shops price between 75$-105$

  • Never buy Lumia 530 I have problem memory out of line :1 . I go to service centre 2 times but problem not solved, they just format device,worst service.

  • do this phone have every store my favorte phone how much is costs.

  • 530 is a good phone.but i find only one problem with it which is its very limited office . In android there are plenty of office suite which helps u to create word documents as if they are created on a windows desktop. But in 530 u only wish to view a document but not try to create a document...features of adding different style and fonts is not there. A very sneek feature of creating word document is given which is of no use and hello ??? creating powerpoint slides is also missing... And one big negative point is that there are no office suites present on the windows store Other than the windows preloaded office...in android we have applications like kingsoft, quick office, polaris suite which are awesome and far better than this preloaded windows office

  • Same here

  • i faced a same problame one sim is allways missing

  • for some carriers like uninor it does not recognise APN settings automatically, so you have to enter them manually.

  • i had faced similar problem. Try to restart mobile after switching-on and wait for few seconds. this trick worked for me so hopefully it will work. And good thing is that it is one time problem.

  • i am unable to use the SIM-1......it shows 'sim card missing' and how do i use the front camera??

  • Can you download apps on this phone

  • It's all good.....a very nice 😊 phone. But I have a problem....vibration on call 📞 only one time not regularly...This is a major problem to hearing calls in noisy place.

  • Nokia Lumia 530is besst lumia phone but it have not front camera. It is my pocket money.

  • I have a 635 that is locked to Att. I think I will get the 530 locked to Tmobile at my job. It is only $50 and will give it to my Mother that has a 521 if she ever loses or breaks it. I have a fierce 2 that I am going to give my Dad. So the 530 will become my new backup phone on Tmobile when I am not using my iphone 5c. My Sister has been using windows phone since it first came out. My Sister said would only go to Android to get a big screen phone from LG.

  • nice one. Bt cn any1 tel me how to reduce data usage. It has used 250mb in 2 days. Cn any1 help me out

  • Yes in nokia lumia in best mobile

  • @ George It depends on the country you live in. In the UK it is single sim, but some countries it is dual sim.

  • Is this dual sim?

  • Actually everyone said lumia 530 is an problematic mobi but am crazy with 530 so i brought that it s wow amazing performance nice camera clarity than speed net uses.. imp its so colouful mobile.. only one drawback it is poor in battery saving ..... :(

  • is not a flash camera.. but it is better clarity than normal flash camera

  • How to Scan the Lumia Phone?

  • Awesome phone to use albeit no front camera, but what bugs me is the fact that Nokia decided to halve the amount of internal memory space. And then the system files take up at least half of it, to say the least. If you are to use this phone, it is imperative to but an SD card for it too.

  • no, it has no flash camera, but has a fixed focus camera

  • This phone is a nice property but operating systems are very difficult to new users. it may need front camera and sensor.

  • no flash no front facing camera so no skype. good screen and good for emails but camera is poor despite some clever tricks.

  • Is that a flash camera? Please tell me. I want to buy it

  • If you turn the battery saver on it'll last 2 days. Maybe 3 if you haven't used it much.

  • 528hours its what nokia say, but i want to now if its truth what the Nokia announces in standby mode.

  • up to 528 hours

  • how many days the phone holds in standby mode?

  • Been four days since I got this phone. And Im loving it so far! The UI and the touch response is very quick and fluid. I still have more to discover. But I dropped my phone 2.5 feet on the carpet yesterday screen down by accident and I just wanna know if this will affect the performance and all. Can anyone answer me with its durability or if you have dropped this phone before? Thanks!

  • Hey! :) I have 2 questions. 1: Which phone is better for gaming (i think even the weaker one can run the games i wanna play, but, you know, it's good to know), this, or the 520/525? The 520's GPU is better, but this have a more powerful CPU. 2: Is there any better phone by this price?

  • For unlock try any of web services you can quickly find in google)

  • if you had bought this phone is UK recently... then call ur network provider they will unlock it for free or for approx £ 5.11......cheers !!!

  • Lumia 520 has some better features than Lumia 530.

  • Excellent phone....go for it

  • I bought lumia 530 in last week of October14. On first day itself I observed that there is heating problem in it. It heats up after 6-7 minutes of talking. I have never found such problem in my other phones. I visited Nokia Care within a week of buying it, but they returned the same saying that there was software problem which is addressed. BUT THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE.

  • download zedge from store you can find there many songs and you can put them as ringtones

  • fantastic phone for this price. i got one these days and i am using it althrough i already had an samsung galaxy note 2.battery is very good, image quality is poor, camera is poor, very fast on 3g or wifi. i recommand this product.

  • Lumia 530 is actually a decent phone price wise.let me compare with my sony e1 Pros. 1 camera 5mp is good and better detail than sony 3mp .but colours look dull. 2.call quality ,sound ,build quality is good for the price. 3.doesnt feel very chubby 4.standby battery life is good. Cons. 1.battery life not good as sony e1.i get 3-4 hours + web browsing on e1. Lumia is less than 3 hours. 2. Colours of the screen are dull compared to sony e1.but better than core 2. 3.no camera features like on sony e1. 4.there is a problem with signal reception. Minor problem.internet browsing slightly affected. 5.exterior view is cool.but interior look once u open the backcover looks very cheap. If you have more money better to buy moto e or sony e1.but this is obvious better and durable than other cheap phones.

  • HAI GUYS...................................,,,,,,,

  • Everyrhing is good....but speaker gets heated up quickly...

  • Not in everything, but it's cheaper. It launched with an even lower price than the 520.

  • hello guys,, I brought this phone before 15 day,s ago... i am using this phone my exprience say that.. it is an excellent phone on this price range, good battery back up,calling speaker sound is good, excellent touch, and if you want to send sms or want to chating with your friend's with your reginal language then you should buy this phone..

  • Creative EP-630 (in-ear) phones are excellent value for money(approx 450/-. The pair well with Nokia cutting out external noise and give deep bass and enjoyable treble. Further,tweaking the graphic equalizer (in the music player of the phone) will give hours of enjoyable sound krish

  • i wonna buy nokia 530 i miss Nokia now

  • lumia 530 is very nice phone better than 520.....

  • Pls Any monthly subscription for lumia 530 windows phone.?.e.glike bb plan

  • Does lumia 530 supports hd videos?

  • The battery is discharged very quickly. I have a Nokia Lumia 530, the phone is very fluid, windows phone has a very good performance, BUT, BUT, it is the battery life with normal use-under 12h I have that I can not consider the following to a mobile, it's useless. And if any configured for me to spend as little battery. The plastic casing slips and the screen is very bad. I have returned to my Samsung Galaxy Y Duos S6102 rooted with the same use (I am the same person) lasts me the battery several days as they go 3'5 days since the last time I reloaded and I still have 35% battery . The accounts are very simple: - Samsung Galaxy Y DUOS: + 240 = 76800 pixels x 320 pixels - 3.14 inches + 1 832 Mhz cpu + Li-Ion 1300 mAh battery + SAR EU 0.69 W / kg (head) Battery = 4'5 days (same actual use) -Nokia Lumia 530: + 480 x 854 pixels = 409920 pixels - 4 inches 200 + CPU Qualcomm Snapdragon 1.2 GHz Quad-core (45 nm) + Li-Ion 1430 mAh battery + SAR EU 1.09 W / kg (head) 1.19 W / kg (body) Battery = 12h (same actual use) - Nokia Lumia 535: + 540 x 960 pixels = 518400pixeles - 5 inches 200 + CPU Qualcomm Snapdragon 1.2 GHz Quad-core (45 nm) + Li-Ion 1905 mAh battery - Motorola Moto E: + 540 x 960 pixels = 518400pixeles - 4'3 inches + Qualcomm Snapdragon CPU Dual-core 200 1.2 Ghz (45nm) + Li-Ion 1980 mAh battery + SAR EU 0.76 W / kg (head) Qualcomm Snapdragon 400: 28 nm (consumes much less energy) I would not buy me a Nokia Lumia 530 or 535. I would buy a scooter E.

  • You must register ur email age above 18 years. So family setup must not be needed

  • My son has the 525 and is pretty much satisfied. Compare both cells and make your decision. It depends on the use you'll make

  • Very nice mobile easy to handle, good body, easy features, camera is also good, all good features in one package

  • Hi guys, should i wait for 525 or go for 530? Thanks

  • Lumia phone is not terrible. But compare to Sony e1 which I have colours and screen quality sucks.but better than Samsung core2. Battery life is also worse than Sony e1.

  • Now who's gonna buy this crapy NOKIA branded lumia 530..?? against 535 . . . . . :p

  • ~MY THOUGHTS WINDOWS PHONE 8.1~ Having using using Microsoft ecosystem since last May on my secondary NL720 device. Although it has some cons. but overall configuration of OS is really sleek and stylish. It will take a while for familiar. No doubt Microsoft done a superb job to established its mobile OS to give customers another option in very competitive smartphone market where Android is the king.The good which i like is u can control your background running apps, in result of this OS battery last a long, although live tiles are also a unique idea to stay updated but tiles updates info only for some period of the day. MAIN CONS:- 1. SETTINGS: 1st major cons. of this OS is its settings menu which is really confusing it should be determined in a different category wise tabs or groups for easy and user friendly access. But Microsoft throw all controling components of OS and settings here and there. Suppose if you are looking for hard reset option or mobile data option or even you want to copy your contacts from sim to phone then it will definitely make you annoy to find all this in emergency. 2. CONTACTS: If you store two different numbers with same name in your contact list and u want to make call one of them well no you press one name and it will automatically make call without showing number which is obviously irritating. Even if you want to copy your contacts from sim to phone then its really hard to find where the hell this option us exist specialy if u r new user even it took 2 to 3 days for me to find out this which is located in people hub option. Finally whenever u want to store or create any new contact it didn't display the storage location like sim, email or phone. 3. ACTON CENTRE TOGGLES: In action centre there is only 6 toggles u can add it should have more option for new toggles to add specialy heavily used mobile data option which didn't exist in action centre. Above all cons are only my thoughts and observation and they are the minor issues which will definatly solve in near future updates. APPS GAP:- Most of commonly used apps are there in store but majority of those apps are still in beta phase and functionality wise they are 2 years behind specialy social apps (like FB, WhatsApp, Twitter, Instagram,Viber etc) then Google and Apple apps library. THE MOST concerning thing is that windows phone didn't have any Google & Apple apps in its store . Which is really sad and main problem for its downfall.Majority of the customers in globe are using google apps to meet their daily demands specialy google maps for navigation and entertaining youtube app . Although Here maps are good option but this application have some issues in some regions like in my country Pakistan . Microsoft should sort out what matter they have had with Google on urgent basis to brings there apps in WP store. If it happens then it will be a huge bonus for this OS . Even Google and Apple have each other apps in their respective stores including Microsoft apps as well, then why windows phone dont have all this stuff in its store . Microsoft become so lazy to sort out these issues with other vendors otherwise they will lose the battle and majority of their customers will shift to other OS.Even i am also shifted to Andriod although i like windowsphone so much and functionality and smoothness wise i rated it above on andriod and iOS. These are the genuine issues which i found during my experience and then describe here to share with all of you . Microsoft has to address all these matters on war footing basis to stay alive in competition. Thanks and Waiting For Your Thought's ..

  • No

  • yes

  • Does nokia lumia 530 supports MIRACAST?????

  • Same problem in my Lumia 530. Battery is reducing for every ten minutes, without use. Its not worth.

  • If looking at specs the Nokia 530 are a good choice, but 2 questions, does the camera have a flash? and secondly, Can a document scanner application be down loaded? On a few Android phone a document scanner can be downloaded and works well. If the Nokia 530 can take a document scanner it will be my first choice. Please any feedback from somebody that know.

  • Got it for $39.90 at woolworths, cheap! Why wont fonts be larger on Apps like Facebook :(. I am squinting apart from that i like it.

  • It's good. But the problem is it has low Memory :) it's better for calling and texting only.

  • Awesome phone . ð��± but a front camera is what everyone needs and though its a budget smartphone, a front cam was expected ...

  • EE are right, it isn't anything to do with them and it is an MS issue. You could try contacting them to see if there's any issues with your account, or try logging in on a PC first just to make sure it's all working.

  • On the 26th October I purchased a Nokia Lumia 530 smart phone from the local phone shop (EE in Newbury, UK) on a "pay as you go" basis. Although I can get onto the internet via wifi, I am having difficulty in creating a Microsoft account. I get a message "We're having trouble signing in. Make sure you have good reception etc" together with an error code 800c0005. Attempts have been made in the shop by the shop assistant as well as by me in my home and so I don't think it's a problem with my router. I have manually set the time and date on the phone as accurately as I can using a "speaking clock" service on our landline. EE refuse to look into this problem, saying it is between me and Microsoft, which I find strange seeing that the Microsoft apps are needed to get the most out of the phone and the User Guide strongly recommends opening a Microsoft account. Please anyone you help?

You cannot open an image if it is an attachment with email ( I tried pdf and jpg format on l530). The list is endless, so some other time......

  • Hey vinoth u can't ever install any app in ios from third party sites other than the app store. You don't have any idea about the os but still now ios is the best. Like that it's only the security issue for the windows that we can't download apps from third party sites. Windows is best after ios ever windows doesn't hangs or lags and much more stable os than android.

  • Because in some ways it's not really an upgrade, besides it's even cheaper than the 520, but still comes with WP8.1 out of the box.

  • Hi All, Battery life is too bad. I am not getting at least 1 day with out internet usage and inserting two sims where i am getting 30 hrs with only 1 sim. Also camera is not good even it was 5 MP. Instead of buying this u can plan to buy other higher versions in Lumia. Thanks!!

  • Download moliplayer it will play 1080p easily without any kind of lag.

  • I don't think this phone has a camera. If a camera app has to spend 2 minute to open, you will be unsure whether it has a camera or not

  • Just go to ur shop where u buy and ask them to create Microsoft. Account alias outlook account u would do anything u want😊

  • Yeah it is possible to move apps to memory card but some like fb messenger etc..........battery life no long if using internet😎😍

  • Connect to your Windows 8 PC, you can use Windows File Explorer. To exit apps, hold the windows key, swipe the app you want to close. Don't talk nonsense if you are not IT-savvy nor familiarized with Windows Phone platform.

  • Go to Settings -> About -> Reset Your Phone

  • Answers are below 1) Files (From Microsoft) U can download it from Store 2)Long Press Back Key... U can find the Used apps, There u can close it 3)Download Moliplayer(Super Video player, and it can supports all the formats) 4)Use Battery Saver to Save the Battery 5) Really if u need Reboot..? May i know the Reason to Reboot(it wont stuck so no need to reboot as like android)... 6) After Sharing the files (In Top Side u can Touch the "Transfer Complete" option, it will show the History). 7)if u want to search the files u can download the "Files" from Store

  • stop trolling, if you actually use phone you'll see how to do all those things you've listed

  • it is a medium standard mobile.there are no much features.

  • DONOT BUY THIS PHONE FOR THE BELOW LISTED REASONS! If some of these flaws are not actually flaws, but my lack of knowledge, it also proves that the UI is not self explanatory! No Filemanager! No way to shut down apps that u don't want to run! Video player is often slow! U select a song and it plays another unless u select the song again! No reboot option! Poor battery backup and Poor charger in the set. No way to see bluetooth share history! No zoom in camera. No way to retrieve a recently run app.. U have to go all the way to main page and open the app again! No way to search files by name! Stupid UI!

  • Battery Backup is very very low & i could not find camera zoom in it ???

  • battery doesnt last long. screen in very dull. processor is good.

  • so bad mobile. i use this mobile. and very slow.

  • What is battery life like please?.

  • Lumia Phone Is So High Rate In Price.

  • No secondary camera for video calls.RAM 512 MB is not sufficient.

  • hey vinod just download ringtone cutter

  • Copy paste the song in phone memory>Ringtones

  • I have been using this phone a past few dayz and now it creates a problem for me without the proximity sensor the call gets cut every now and then.....No secondary camera means no video calls.....No gorilla class.....Nokia has cut these small things to make it cheaper........

  • No, but lumia 525 its best

  • I cannot change ring tones as any audio songs

  • Is it worth to buy this phone???

  • it's unable to play 720p videos........otherwise it's genuine mobile with power packed features.....

  • Yeah i think this phone have latest os 8.1 wid in the budget, but i dnt wanna take this any way coz this hv not front facing camera and being a boy how can i do ma video chat with this and now a days video chat is more publicious feature than it was..

  • beautiful features....

  • its a nice phone.

  • Opera mini is now in closed beta for WP

  • Yes in some aspects the phone isn't really an improvement over the 520. But the price is very low and it comes with WP8.1 out of the box.

  • A nice editorial about the Lumia 530.

  • Mobile seems cool. But I slightly disappoint with 4 gb internal, 480p vid rec. But its cyan update, can move apps to sd card, so its enough.. Overall it's great great great device in this price tag.

  • Yes it's cheap and very nice

  • use class 10 micro sd card and make sure that 20 to 30% internal memory of your mobile should remain free for smooth function of fone never use 100% internal memory of your fone

  • Anyone who has unboxed this do you know the SAR values for head and body? It is not mentioned anywhere on their website.

  • in thailand, the phone costs B3690 (thai baht)

  • Is it worth to buy this phone???

  • tap on people panel, then copy ur sim contacts into outlook. that's how lumia works.

  • It can play vedios only upto 720p resolution..

  • i have purchase Nokia Lumia530 and insert SIM, But that is Not Show SIM Contact No., so please, where show Sim Contact No in My Nokia Lumia 530

  • i have purchase Nokia Lumia530 and insert SIM, But that is Not Show SIM Contact No., so please, where show Sim Contact No in My Nokia Lumia 530

  • can this phone able to play 1080p vedio no any lags please ans?

  • Available contract free for £39 in the UK at carphone warehouse. Incredibly cheap! Which makes it suddenly a very very very good deal for that money. These budget phones keep on getting cheaper and cheaper. For that 39 quid you get a very good phone.

  • Does it support vault,way2sms.

  • Stop trolling

  • Use bigger sd card,prices are so cheap for them now,also move apps to sd card

  • Yes, card is the problem. Dnt use 1gb card. Use class6 8gb or 16gb card. Dnt use class4 mmc.

  • Dude, Lumia 530 has 512 MB ram only, and moreover if u installed more apps on ur mble, it makes ur mobile slow.

  • pls check if all yur data is sitting in your phone's memory... i faced this with one samsung phone of mine!

  • My lumia 530 is currently very slow. When i look at the reviews, no one is experiencing any lags. Is this related to External memory card used?, I use only 1GB card. Any solution to it?

  • I hope you heard of 1320 and 1520. they come with 3400 mAh battery. Lumia 1520 has the longest battery life to date. Endurance rating of 105 hrs i.e. 4days+ don't want to buy a lumia then DONT buy. Who is forcing you?

  • Why, u surprised? It is an successor to asha series not 520. 520s successor is 630.

  • Who is real thief, ur comment proves it.. How much money u get for trolling?

  • nokia care is a cheater(thief) bcos .......... i went to chang screen glass in nokia care aligarh 'they use duplicat screen glass........ after 4 month touch do not work ....then i went to other nokia care they can not mentan this bcos he say duplicat glass .......... i am not satisfie with nokia they are also a theif..........

  • On screen keys tiny look horrid, make physical keys for home button.

  • Why always low-capacity batteries? I have Gionee M2 (4200 Mah battery) which stays on for almost 2 days with moderate usage (3G always on). I will never buy Lumias just for low battery. I had Lumia 820 it lasts about only 12 hrs max with 3G on. I changed from 820 just for its very poor battery. If we are not able to enjoy the features of the phone, then whats the use of having such features? Nokia (Microsoft) please bring phones with good batteries

  • This device should sell well and may emulate the success of its predecessor: the 520, which went on to become the world's best selling Windows Phone ever. Surprised to learn that the video recording resolution has been downgraded to 480 from 720HD.

  • If u love android, there are plenty of oem who makes cheap droid. Go and comment in there page. Nokia means windows phone. Nokia x is the worst discision of nokia board. Good, they killed it.

  • Nokia's android phones were so bad despite promotion and good specs that MS had to kill that division. Going android was the worst decision. And don't even talk about Tizen, even Samsung is not supporting it. Nokia's future lies in WP, accept it.

  • Hello dear ! There is better or similar candy crush game ! Please try this game believe me it is one of best 3match I am at levels 63 can't stop playing it , please try it

  • I was pleased when I heard that Nokia were going to release phones using Android. THis is a bad decision. Microsoft still have not got the message from their customers. The decision to go with Windows and not Android or Tizen, will ultimately spell the death of Nokia.

  • Express browser was good for nokia's feature phones. On smartphones it sucked badly

  • Sir pls put the candy crush saga on Lumia 530 apps store nokia .now pack up time for samsung

  • Yes sure u can download from store

  • What is the use of nokia xpress browser, if we have IE. thats why they killing it.

  • Yes, we all are here wp fanboy. Because this beautiful os makes us fan. We dont talk bad about other os in their page. We dnt like them, so we dont care about dat os. We are not like paid troll, who attack ios &wp8.1 in every article, every page.

  • Firstly which features is WP missing? Second, will you download all apps on android? How does it matter whether one has 1m apps and the other 300k? Second, how many features has iOS got? Does it support external memory? Bluetooth ft? File explorer? Save third party music? It does not even support latest hardware. Still has it not got over 10% market share? The logic is simple, iOS came first, then android and then market got saturated. When WP came in, the market was already occupied. It is difficult to make your presence in an occupied market. Ask Google+, Bing, Linux etc. Symbian was first gen OS, it dominated then. Once iOS and android came along, nooone wanted Symbian. Nokia was too late to realize this and stuck with Symbian and other makers jumped to android. And your statement that people love complicated things is totally rubbish. Windows was not complicated, Linux was. Google search was simple compared to MSN. Apple's iOS was simple and was a hit. Android could survive because iOS left a whole market open and bothered only about richer section. If anyone here is a fanboy it is you

  • Hey guys don't be so fanboy you'll not going to get a single penny from the profit of these conpanies. The conclusion can be like this WP=Simple less customizable but speedy phone Android=Most customizable but relatively slow(leave those 2.2ghz monsters they r too much expensive[great if you you can afford them]). And please don't make people fool by your fanboy type reviews. :)

  • Others why should I use simple ui with lesser features when I can use comlicated Ui's with more features(apps).And who thinks android is boreing I wonder if you ever used any android mobile I think you have feared to use complicated things.Rest of others thats why wp can't make a impact still after 2years when within two yrs android got the whole world and Old guy Symbian dominated entire globe for ten years and Nokia made best mobile maker by it the secret behind these succes is their complictedness....people(most) loves to crack complicated things. Thank you ;)

  • Don't talk like a fanboy my friend I'm not fond of any other company but Nokia yes I have used 12 Nokia phones..they r symbian,meego,x and wp to.And for your kind information microsoft is slowly killing every bit of nokia from ms mobile,killing the store the xpress browser and the Branding of nokia too,belive it or not.And the Metro Ui(wp ui) it could be innovative I must accept it but it is not customizable at all leave those funny arrangements and transparent tiles they r just for fun coz not every tile supports transparency.And for me the Symbian UI on my Nokia N8 is far more better than any UI and better than Nokia's(MS') loved Metro ui too.Be more open eyed than a fanboy eyed.Thank you.

  • Yes, it is a huge step back. But it is not a successor of 520. Nokia already said it is an replacement for X and asha series. L630 is a successor of 520.

  • Do u ever touchd any windows phone8.1? Windows UI is the most simplest UI. If u can use dat complicated boring andro thn u can easily understand wp.

  • Are you joking mr.troll? Firefox and jolla are the crapiest childish os. Who dnt have own ui, copied from others. Wp has the best UI. Tile UI is beautiful and easy to understand. Android has old, boring and complicated UIs.

  • Android is the crappiest OS I have ever used. Even bada is better thn dat crap. Wp8.1 is the best OS.

  • Microsoft told 630 is a successor of 520. 530 is replacement of Asha and x series.

  • If you don't have any idea about real world, don't give your crappy advice to others. Nokia is never died. For your kind information metro UI(wp ui) is the award winning UI. Lagdroid and other OS has boring and old UI. If you find tile is boring thn you are not made for modern world.

  • Yes. It can

  • Just one question... " Can Vibre & Vonage be used on this Nokia Lumia 530?"

  • awesome phone

  • Just one question " Can Vibre & Vonage be used on this Nokia Lumia 530"

  • Though I know it very well that my review is useless now as the Nokia we know is died but still I think my review will help users to decide the correct mobile suits them. Nokia previously use symbian as their main any only os still when others moved to android good and bad decision both as symbian is not touch friendly and not modern at all good decision as symbian can be made as like as anroid because it is also highly customiseble as android I am telling this as I have used the last version of it Symbian Belle Fp2 it is too close to be a modern ui but nokia abandoned it like maemo both very very bad decision. Now come to wp I just wonder who thought about the live tiles ui....! Its good to use 1st time but soon you will be bored by it as it does not have any relation with customization.Though it now supports transparent tiles still it is static.So if you want to get a phone for speed not for custonization you can go with WP.But for others Android or Firefox or Jolla or any other modded android like MIUI will be great.

  • Specific absorption rate (SAR) is a measure of the rate at which energy is absorbed by the human body when exposed to a radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic field; although, it can also refer to absorption of other forms of energy by tissue, including ultrasound.It is defined as the power absorbed per mass of tissue and has units of watts per kilogram (W/kg)

  • How can the battery be a drawback if there isn't even a good test done?

  • what do you mean by SAR Value

  • awesome phone very nice

  • Its the best under 7.5K..

  • SAR value?

  • Does anyone know the SAR of this phone? Plz reply.

  • Battary is good in all lumia devices

  • Wp just has nothing to do with internal memoey as move to sd card tranfers the whole application to sd card...it is not like android...which transfers it to internal memory,..and with 128GB sd card support ,I don't think 4GB internal memory would annoy u...

  • You can easily compare them with the comparison ability of this website

  • Absolutely

  • all lumia series in available whats app

  • yes

  • You're right when you compare entry prices, neeraj, but since the specs and hardware are almost identical and MS policy is selling the 530 as a successor you have to compare the two. And at that the 520 wins hand down. Better gpu (check for yourself. Adreno 305 is up to 10times faster than adreno 302) and way better screen. Go to your local store and compare the two. The IPS panel of the 520 is awesome for such a cheap device. I bought it as a backup for my htc one and I think it's an amazing piece.

  • does it support whatsapp??

  • People need to stop comparing 520 with 530. The two have different prices. Official price of 530 is 7199 and that of 520 is 9399. Check here: It is the retailers who are pricing 520 less, I am sure they will price 530 less too. The actual successor of 520 is 630 which is priced same. And it has many advantages over 520 such as bigger screen, quad core processor etc.

  • What was the launch price of Lumia 520? The official price of 520 is still higher than 530. You need to compare phones with identical price. Also, 530 has quad core processor which no reputed brand gives you at 7k.

  • Don't buy this phone its crappy period... Especially when you come from Android. It�s annoying to press 100 buttons to activate bluetooth for example and it is so freeken slow to and fro other devices for a v4.0 bluetooth app??? The Main screen is to only beautiful feature with Windows 8.1. Other menu's are the crappiest layout ever. I like nice features and this is by far the worse I have seen of all the phones I had... nokia never again. My old Nokia from the 2000 + beats this one...

  • No Front camera is draw back and Battery is also the 2nd one.

  • most low rated phone in windows series . no need of this phone. but I think . its better fore a basic smart phone use in this cheap rate.

  • small battery for today standard...look like microsoft don't want this phone last "longer"

  • Huge step back from 520. Thicker, no autofocus, a 4GB internal storage (520 had 8 GB). RIP WP!

  • How to install whats-up in this mobile

  • How do i download whatsapp

  • Bro all windows phone 8.1 handsets will get an update to the next big software update that is what I meant by windows phone 8.2/windows phone 9.I know the next big update isn't announced but it is announced the that the windows 8.1 handsets will get it.Windows 8 handsets will get gdr updates but not the next big software update(That too is announced).Why do you think is Microsoft promoting phones with windows phone 8.1 out of the box if there is no difference?I am using a lumia 620 for a year now,and my friend recently bought a 630.There is a substantial difference in the phone operating speeds due to the quad core processor though the ram is 512mb for both.Also the live folder option is good and convenient(I'm using developer preview).Also the 530 camera is not better than the 520.520 has auto focus and 530 is fixed focus.520 records 720p videos whereas 530 only 480p.

  • its a very nice phone every one buy it

  • What is its SAR rating????

  • dear sammy 512 mb RAM is enough for a windows phone. its not like android which needed atleast 2gb RAM to operate smoothly. windows is next best to ios.

  • Completely incorrrect answer bro. All windows phone 8 handsets will get windows 8.1 . There is no windows 8.2 or windows 9 announced. Windows 8. 1 update 1 has been announced that will bring folder creation on start screen to all phones running win phone 8.1. Now to answer whats the diff between 520 and 530. Well 530 has quad core processor, 520 has dual core, 530 has 4 gb space, 520 has 8 gb space, but 530 can be expanded to 128 gb via memory card while 520 to 32 gb. RAM in both is 512 mb. Display is same in both. Thats basically it. 530 and 520 both have 5 MP camera but 530 has a better 5 mp camera.

  • Supb mobile evryone buy it

  • Not to mention quality apps and not many duplicated apps like on Android Play Store

  • what is the diff b/w lumia 520 and lumia 530?

  • lumia 520/525 will not get the next update to windows phone 8.2/windows phone 9 but lumia 530 will.

  • i was waiting for lumia 530, my question is "what the diffrence in windows8.1 of lumia 530 & windows8 of lumia 525/520(update cyan) ,,

  • In this price its the most stunning phone and please don't ever go for Android.... In entry level phones Android lag like hell Windows never slow down that's the beauty... I have 630 exactly the same specs and I'm having more than 10 GB of apps trust me it have no effect on it...When you use WP after Android you'll feel like you got free from jail just like me

  • Microsoft Store have now tons of apps don't worry about apps every app is available now in MS Store... MS store crossed 300,000 Apps
