Nokia Lumia 530 Dual SIM: Performance and Connectivity options

The newly launched phone uses a 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 quad-core processor, paired with 512MB of RAM and 4GB of internal memory. In our brief testing, we found the processor capable enough to run basic games, and it definitely managed to run Windows Phone 8.1OS smoothly.

Let's not forget that this is a low-end phone, and one should not compare it with smartphones sporting powerful hardware under the hood. But we do like to share a complete picture once we done over with our hard testing.
