Nokia Lumia 530 is definitely a real device, even if Microsoft has yet to announce its availability. The sequel to the most popular Windows Phone handset available on the market, Lumia 520, has been recently spotted in China.

The orange version of the Lumia 530 has been caught on camera, and at first glance, it seems to be quite similar to its predecessor when it comes to form factor.

The smartphone features a candy-bar design and will offer dual-SIM capability with dual standby support. Rumor has it that Nokia Lumia 530 will be equipped with a decent dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 processor and only 512MB of RAM.

That’s quite alright for an entry-level smartphone, but those who would purchase such a device should know that there are some apps and games that will not work on Lumia 530 given its low amount of RAM.

According to WMPoweruser, the Lumia 530 should arrive on the market in the coming months for around $180 (€130) outright.

Keep in mind though that these are just unconfirmed rumors, so take them with a grain of salt until Microsoft comes forward with an official statement. What do you think about the next entry-level Windows Phone 8.1 handset?
