The Huawei Ascend Y530 was announced ahead of MWC 2014, and while the handset will be displayed at the Barcelona show I managed to get hands on with it ahead of time.
Following on from last year's Ascend G510, the Ascend Y530 builds modestly on its predecessor while keeping a low SIM-free price tag of around £150.
That price is expected to drop to around the £100 mark when the Ascend Y530 becomes available on PAYG in March.
Featuring a 4.5-inch, 480 x 854 display, 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 512MB of RAM, 4GB of internal storage and a microSD slot, the Ascend Y530 finds itself firmly placed in the budget market.
