Ashu, 23 Jul 2014Dear ms if this is you strategic move then pls be prepared ... moreHmmm.. If you want a successor of 520 then go for 630. 530 is not a successor for 520, 530 is a replacement of Asha series.

      betterr to go on 525. 530 is an MiStake. it will always upgrade the name and dowgrading the phone. better be called lumia 515.

        The 630(Rs.9000) was a downgrade to the 620(Rs.12500) and so is the 530(Rs.7000) to the 520(Rs.8000).
        Me thinks its an excellent vfm handset

              It's not a very good numbering system.

                After seeing that it's a lot cheaper than the 520 was on launch - a big price drop, I can kinda understand the drop in specs.

                  MS, all that we are pleading for is front facing camera, flash light and increase in RAM.

                    Well... According to an old GSMA article I dug up, 520 was $183 at launch, so you can kinda justify the lame specs with $115 price tag. Still no reason to pick it up in near future though, unless it quickly drops below current 520 price.

                                      Its a budget phone aimed at budget people who want a no frills phone handle it. If you want flash and front camera get the models above 7xx. You cant cram a v8 in mini Morris. Microsoft Nokia are making economic sense. you uþlook at iphone 800 bucks no one moans. And you get a dodgy camera and an os that's 7 years old with stolen Windows and Nokia extras.

                                        So it's basically a DOWNgrade? Not an upgrade.
