    As far as the price of the Nokia Lumia series, they priced the L63X series equal to the 52X series phone presently. So they may replacing the L5xx series with L6xx series. And L5xx series to much less price to catch the lower end device market.

            Whistleblower, 22 Jul 2014I really wish sites like GSM Arena would stop falling for m... morei had gone through Steve's article long time back, the problem with microsoft is not using a laminated lcd screen but the marketing technique of using 'clearblack' screen. they should have said the truth. through all this one thing is for sure that all the reputation nokia has earned in so many years will be ruined by microsoft and that is what feels depressing.

              Anonymous, 22 Jul 2014WP doesn't support native video call, so there's no need ... moreThat's simply not true. There are multiple reasons why you'd use a front-facing camera. Skype is one of them.

                          Nosoft, 22 Jul 2014So 520 had 512mb of RAM before getting 1gb of RAM on the 52... moreYeah, the 525 is a far superior device than this 530.

                            5 MP fixed focus?? How's that an improvement over 5MP autofocus??

                              99% of video calls are made using apps, such as Skype, and not native cellular video call.

                                  it will be 4.3 inches because lumia 520 didn't have on screen buttons.

                                      I really wish sites like GSM Arena would stop falling for marketing gimmickry.

                                      The so-called "ClearBlack" used on the 630 only makes a slight difference in the sunlight. It uses an LCD panel with anti-reflection lamination and is not 1/10th as good as the actual ClearBlack tech used on phones like the Lumia 920, 925, 1020, etc. And since the 530 is supposed to be on a lower rung than the 630, I suspect it will be getting the lesser "ClearBlack" implementation as well. Steve Litchfield has done some excellent reporting on this topic, I suggest people google it and read for themselves.

                                      What consumers really hate is fraud, or anything that smells like fraud. Keep it up Microsoft and watch your abysmal market share drop even more.
