Budget hardware is the story here. The Snapdragon 210 chipset with a quad-core 1.1GHz processor and Adreno 304 GPU handles basic tasks fine, but 1.5GB RAM means you shouldn't expect much multitasking headroom. Storage is a modest 16GB, though the microSD slot takes cards up to 200GB, which helps if you keep a lot of photos or media. The 5-inch Super LCD screen runs at 720x1280, giving a pixel density around 294 ppi, decent enough for everyday viewing at this price point.
HTC Desire 530 price in Malaysia starts from RM363. On the camera side you get an 8MP rear shooter with autofocus and LED flash, paired with a 5MP front camera for basic selfies and video calls. The 2200mAh removable battery isn't large, but the modest chipset and low-res display should help it stretch through a day of light use. It ships with Android 6.0 Marshmallow, NFC, and LTE Cat4 support, rounding out a phone built for essentials rather than heavy usage.
