Talking about the supposed spec sheet, the device will feature a 4.3-inch display. That's a slight bump from the 4.0-inch (800 x 480 pixels) display of the Lumia 520.

The device is expected not come with a front-facing camera nor standard physical navigation buttons, as Windows Phone 8.1 allows the use of virtual on-screen keys. However, the Windows phone buying guide doesn't specify the release date, but speculation is that the Lumia 530 might get announced on T-Mobile's 4G LTE network.
