Quad-core processor and neat design

The quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 210 clocked at 1.1Ghz under the hood aims to deliver some power. Aided by the Adreno 304 and 1.5GB RAM, the device should facilitate a smooth user experience. Desire 530 comes with 16GB of internal storage, which should be enough for your apps and games. You’ve also got the micro SD slot, for a total of up to 200GB of memory expansion – the device is bound to able to store all your music, photos, etc.

The design remains true to the Desire line, but this time around it includes a new sprinkled rear panel, which is a breath of fresh air, considering the multitude of strikingly similar (and frankly, kind of boring) devices flooding the market today. Sweet! The phone also boasts a thin 0.32 inch (8.3 mm) body and a weight of 4.9oz (140 grams) – a size intended to secure seamless one-handed operation.

5’’ HD display and 8MP camera

Something that has become a standard for the mid-range segment – a 5’’ Super LCD display at 720p HD that delivers rich and accurate colors.

On the back of the phone we also find an 8MP camera with an f/2.4. aperture and LED flash. You are provided with a variety of shooting modes intended to make your photos more attractive. A 5MP shooter located on the front of the device should be more than enough for your selfies.

Android 6.0 Marshmallow and a 2200 mAh battery

Desire 530 comes with the latest and greatest OS by Google, right out of the box – Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

Once again, we also find HTC’s Sense UI, which, as per tradition, presents a bunch of useful features and some familiar preinstalled apps.

The device is powered by a 2200 mAh battery, and even though the battery life isn’t specified, the power-saving hardware should give us some reasonable results.
