Nokia's design philosophy has taken a nose-dive with the Lumia 530, it feels bulky and awkward, especially after the sleek looking Lumia 520 and 525. The display here is the worst part about the device, its a very bad TN panel which looks utterly pixelated and colors appear dirty, muddled, under-saturated. Performance is sluggish, games don't play well and the fixed focus rear camera is just useless. I will be giving this phone two thumbs down, and telling you not to buy it.

After the success of the Lumia 520 and Lumia 525, we expected something better from Nokia, the Lumia 530 isn't what we wanted.
