The 530 will be a MASSIVE flop, what are you thinking MS???? Only 512 MB RAM!!!!!

[Melvinizer]

You know what people, Thats one bad Upgrade from a 520 (Lol, If you even dare call that an upgrade!) Come on, the Processor is downgraded to a lower architecture. Yet no flash to please us for an upgrade. No Secondary camera, The device looks like a CANDY. Way thicker than its predecessor and above all A 512MB RAM!!! Oh these Microsoft guys are totally outta their minds to hope that people would upgrade or buy a 530 taking the fact that most devs are prioritizing in developing apps for atleast 1GB of RAM.

 

[portalfocus]

The thing is that when people are ready to upgrade, there isn't anything to upgrade too, only androids and iPhones because Nokia/Microsoft keep releasing these type of phones. (T-Mobile)

Are you being serious? If you want to UPgrade. Go higher. Oh god.

 

[portalfocus]

It's sad that people expect this phone to be a budget phone with high end specs and a very low price.

This.

 

[emperor_skull]

The phone will make a mega hit, the price tag is awesome

 

[smoledman]

I can play Crysis 3 on my iPhone 3GS.

 

[portalfocus]

the 530 wont flop because most people going to buy a $50 phone wont really care about this all they will see is oh a smartphone for so cheap and it comes in different colours

Exactly. This fun is marketed to a certainly kind of people.

 

[Rei Zanaliu]

exactly!! people who are buying a smartphone at this price range dont even care about specs.

 

[nicfromwales]

I can see the headline in the Daily Deluded now: 'Microsoft Doomed in Low-end Phone with Low-end Specs Shocker'.

 

[Rei Zanaliu]

Lol, So many things wrong here..
First off, A 200$ Laptop that plays "Crysis 3" at 60FPS? lmao. Lemme get this straight, A near to perfect rig with a AMD Radeon R9 290X struggles to punch out an average of 48 fps!(btw, thats a Mid-High range Desktop GPU!) so there ain't no way your gonna get a 200$ lappy to play crysis 3 at a staggering 60 fps, lol and never in 4K Rendering. Cheers

if you were as smart as your knowledge about GPUs you would have understood the irony

 

[Melvinizer]

This.

Well it's sad people even consider "A flash option " an high end spec. Its even funnier to expect people consider a "Proximity sensor" an high end spec. lol 1GB Of ram ain't high end. It's the amount of RAM most phones ship out nowadays. Oh and for gods sake they've skipped the proximity sensor and downgraded the processor architecture. That should compensate for giving the 530 1 GB of RAM.

I would've if those sentences meant to be Ironic were properly Phrased. Hey C'mon the guy sounded pretty serious. lol

its not about how he phrased it, its about what he was saying that didnt make sense

 

[Melvinizer]

its not about how he phrased it, its about what he was saying that didnt make sense

Exactly, Now you've said those golden words too "Dint make sense". cheers bud

 

[osallent]

All of this seems dumb to us, the power users but think that the 530 and 630/635 are aimed towards people on a budget and first time smartphone users.

Or people like me who are experienced smartphone users with lots of disposable income, but are too cheap to spend more on a phone than the cost of their tablet or laptop. I refuse to spend more on a cellphone than the cost of one of those devices. It's a matter of principle. TO each his own, I guess. I'm loving my Nokia Lumia 635

 

[ULOP3Z]

Are you being serious? If you want to UPgrade. Go higher. Oh god.

Are you serious? Like I said there is nothing to upgrade too! The strategy here is people buy the low entry windows phone and then upgrade to a high end windows phone, but there isn't any on T-Mobile only high end androids and iPhones therefore they end up ditching windows phone, listen next time instead of trying to argue with people

 

[3earnhardt3]

Please don't post things like this, iSheep and Fandroids do not understand sarcasm....

 

[Melvinizer]

Okay everybody, Now stop arguing. And go get some food.

 

[T Moore]

A flop? Just like the 520 is?

 

[ULOP3Z]

A flop? Just like the 520 is?

More like a flop just like peoples inability to sense SARCASM

 

[HeyCori]

I don't know what Microsoft is thinking, but they should include 2GB of RAM, an octacore processor, 1080p and a 50mp camera and price it for AT LEAST $50 otherwise this thing will fail on the market. I mean, I can walk into Walmart and buy a $200 Dell laptop that can play Crysis 3 at 4K 60fps 360 no-scrope any day, why can't Microsoft lose money on a product so I can spend less money!!!!

Did I get that about right?

1080p? What is this, 2009? I can't use a phone with such poverty resolutions.
