Have you updated the phone? if not check if there are updates and also update all the apps if there are updates available, then see if you are getting issues.
yes I’m also facing same issue, this device heats up very quickly while using 3g and battery also draining very fast, its normal temperature is 38 degrees, at the same time my lenovo a7000 shows 33 degrees as normal temperature, an update is needed for this phone, but no updates are available.
Hello sir,
My infocus M530 gets very hot when I use its rear camera for 5 minutes for taking snap or videos.
Is any update or solution there for camera heating.
Also videos blur so much when recording video continuously for 5minutes when it gets hot.
Please help me to solve this problem
I am going to order infocus m350,but just a little bit hesitation that is there any heating issues in m350, kindly reply gogi sir..
Amit pls check the review here – https://www.gogi.in/infocus-m350-review.html
I own Infocus M530 & Infocus M2 both. The M2’s camera impressed me, so I went for Infocus M530 as it had a 13mp camera but what I observed is, the rear camera of my Infocus M2 takes better pictures that that of the 13mp of my infocus M530!!! Pictures from Infocus M530 appear to be blurry while the same picture (especially wider frames) taken from the same angle at the same time looks clearer when taken from 8mp of M2.I don’t know if I’m the only one facing this issue.. Please let me know, and tell me if there is any solution. for the same.
I want to update infocus m2 to 5.2 lollipop can u tell me which custom rom may I install send me a link.
Dear Mr. Gogi.
I want to upgrade from Redmi 1s. I am confused between K3 note and M530.
Personally i would like to go for M530. but its size and weight are on the downside.
lenovo K3 note is compact and have good sound compared to m530.
Only thing which is stopping me to buy k3 is Camera performance.
Please mention in your review about the in ear sound quality and call quality of M530.
I am a huge fan of MIUI roms.
I would love to root this phone and will install custom rom. Will that change sound quality and call quality and overall performance.
I am also using infocus M2 also, but it doesn’t support Auto call recoding and customization.
Please try to cover Minute details in your review.
Many of us eagerly waiting for your review.
There are many review in the market, but we are expecting the best from you ( as always).

I recently bought infocus M350. Advise me how to block ‘cell broadcast” ?
‘Cell broadcast’ issue solved by downloading the ‘software update’
Dear Gogi Rana ,
we are eagerly waiting for your review on INFOCUS M530 when can we expect that?? There are some complaints on the front flash that its waste and does not work properly or its very pale in lighting pls do mention about it in ur review.
Will try that ASAP. Regarding front flash it is not good, not very powerful. But in general you should ignore the flash on the mobile phones, most times you will get better shots without flash.
I own this phone in focus m530 .I’ve liked it everything all da specs are really a blast ,but m facing a problem in my front flash .y front flash is needed?? To take the pics in da night right.okay but wen m usin da flash in the night ,I mean front flash ,m not getting da pic as bright !!

Like the battery is decreasing like 1% every 2 minutes widout using any net or anything plz plz I beg for someone who has a perfect solution my email chrisskrillex0@gmail.com plz give me any solution to dis email plz thank you..
Hello gogi. I own one of this device and I found after inserting SD card the back panel gets raised unevenly at that portion. Please let us know kindly sir if it was the issue for you too. Camera is worst in macro shots cause can’t focus within 6 to 8 cm effectively. Test it too please. Camera pics are over sharpened. I reduced the sharpness to get better results. Thanks in advance if u reply to me, god bless u sir.
I guess you are talking about the M530 (I already did the review of M350). I did not find any such issue. Camera can focus close objects just like most phones (check video sample – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lw9st-j_FNM ).
As for sd card it is simply not possible that the back panel getting raised after inserting SD card, are you sure it you are using micro SD card?
Yes sir I am talking about infocus m530 . With due respect to u I want to tell u sir yes I am using micro SD card . to be specific I am using strontium nitro class 10 micro sdhc card and I can send u even pic of its uneven elevation in back panel .. I tried inserting the memory card after removing it … Still no use . the back panel is completely OK without SD card though but just after the memory card insertion the bottom of camera portion gets raised due to SD card’s thicken back portion . well if u try this kindly and carefully examine hope it won’t be invisible to your expert eyes sir . as per the camera … I am not doubting sir … I am telling you that it can’t focus object within six cm . I tried before writing this to you and had the same result . u r one of those few people whose review seems most trustworthy so I felt like letting u know the info …hope u will consider my effort to be positive sir . god always shower his blessings over u . thanks
I don’t see any such issue, also if check the SD card after inserting there is enough gap there below the camera silver circle. It is no way touching the back cover when it is fixed.
Thanks for your reply sir . really impressed by your reply cause I thought u rnot going to reply . there must be an issue with my SD card or it was may be my lack of observation … Thanks a lot looking forward for your review . after that will decide whether I should keep it or return to Snapdeal sir.thanks once again .God bless u sir
Solution to low speaker volume problem. Turn on audio effects, edit user setting set all frequencies to above 4db except the first bass setting low. trebble to medium.
Turn on level alingment, level boost,voice enhancement, you will get loud and clear volume louder than many other phones, Just try it..
Hi santosh, I too noticed the same, Is there any thing similar which can improve voice call volume also?
Dear Gogi Sir
M530 is again now available to order,and you are working on it’s review, just let me know what’s your initial impression about this phone, I am going to order this.
Santosh, so far good, there was cell broadcast problem but that is fixed as of now, just got a small OTA update that fixed it. It will take some time for review as I am facing battery calibration issue, I will have to drain the battery completely and charger to full and then start the review.
Hi Gogi,
I am also facing the same issue of cell broad cast, Are they giving OTA updates for this?
One more thing…Is there a good app to increase speaker volume and better call audibility?
I was also facing that, just got a update today it is a small OTA update (Cell Broadcast file) it will fix it. Volume is slightly low but acceptable. There is audio effect app try that and if you are using the earphone that came with the M530, it is not good.
How is the in call speaker?volume, is it loud?
Slightly lower than when compared to other handsets.
Is it hearable in loud indian traffic?
Thanks for your prompt response…
mostly I m calling to abroad so quality of call (loud & clear)is my first preferences, then camera, no matter about battery now a days b’coz of power bank.
mt infocus m530 has an issue of battery…. after switching off and on…it gets drain by 15% everytime…..what to do gogi sir
I faced the same issue. Battery calibration is needed. Use hanset until it gets switched off automatically. You will notice that at lower percent the battery will last longer.
I did that and after 2 cycle battery percent is now accurate.
Hi All,
Brief info abt my experience with this moble…
So far, so good with the phone… lot of positives..camera, screen, good battey and no lag…..
These are the negatives I found,
1. Useless front flash…main reason I opted for this phone because of it.
2. Rear Flash is good but not powerful..not as good as my old samsung S duos. still takes good pics…that may be the property of dual flash…
3. Speaker volume is reasonably less, — around 20% less than many other mobiles…
4. Same with calls, Not able to hear the calls properly in decent traffic conditions, call volume is also little less.
5. Call recording not there…this may not be there in many phones…
5. wifi coverage is little less…My neighbour and myself use the same router which is present in his home, my previous phone..LG optimus G used to detect better wifi signal than this….Of course, If router is in our home, we will have any issue.
6. Some call broad cast msgs issue…Which is fixed by the OTA update…as per gogi sir…So far, I did not get any update.
can someone please tell me the SAR value of head and body for Infocus m530 ? It can be found behind the battery
Or you can type *#07# in the diaper and get the required value!!
Gogi ji will you please review this model?!?

Honest Review M530@Killer Smartphone
Although the built quality is average but acceptable but rest everything is top notched the rear camera is fantastic and the front too. The processing speed of the device is flawless and the screen which is 720p looks like a 1080p brightest screen. The loudspeaker first looked a bit down but in the music app turned on auto equalizer and the sound now is loud and clear. Inlife UI is a simple and stable UI offering handful customizations like the fluency enhancer and blue light filter.Talking about the battery the stats are given below
10.00-100% charged
5.00pm-64%-3g on fluency enhancer on for 5 hours
9.00pm-37%-3g on for 4 more hours enhancer off and couple of games for 30 min
9.00pm to 9.00am standby-32%
Conclusion-1 day fulfilled usage with aggressive use of 3g
Verdict- INFOCUS Has really focused on the device and has created a masterpiece.
GO FOR IT

Gogi,
please share the review of infocus M530 I will buy it after your review.
& also review the Lenovo K3 note.
Gogi,
At snapdeal it is mentioned, that
infocus M530 supports only these 4G LTE bands.
FDD-LTE 2100(B1), 1800(B3), 2600(B7), 900(B8), 700(B28) MHz
then what about 2300 mhz band 40 operating in india.
pls check this in your review.
Information provided on snapdeal is not complete
But now they have included band40 – 2300mhz on their page.
Mr Rana please post the promised review of M350..asap..with particular emphasis on the the screen quality..cameras both front and rear…i know rear has a flash..but does the front cam also have a flash to assist in good selfies in dark ? Need a phone with exceptional cam..better than my Note 2 and Redmi 1s.
Its camera really has Optical Image Stabilization which we see in high end devices?
Don’t Buy it, No Indian 4G band on this device!
Are you sure that Indian 4g bands are not supported?
Then why is it being introduced in India!
Gogiji, please confirm it.
Hey there nothing 4g in India, go check with airtel outlet they say 4g works in 3g compatible phones, hello you need a 4g compatible hardware if you gonna use 4g, yet where’s 4g in India , India is always cheated for its innocence , best Country but managed , marketed by cheaters.
From where u got this info ? Spreading just silly rumors ! Why a new Entrant like Infocus will take such chance of not providing Indian 4G Bands.
On snapdeal you can see on product page–no 2300 mhz 4G band.
Hi guys,
I guess snapdeal has either updated Product page or some group might be just spreading false rumors. I am able to see 2300 mhz 4G band.
4G/LTE : FDD-LTE 2100(B1), 1800(B3), 2600(B7), 900(B8), 700(B28) MHz ,TDD-LTE 2300(B40)
Cheers!!
It seems to be support 2300 Mhz as per the snapdeal page.
FYI: http://www.teleanalysis.com/analysis/why-airtel-and-reliance-jio-chose-1800-mhz-for-lte-14509.html
AND Infocus m530 Supports Supports both 1800 and future proof 2600 Bands…!
So absolutely no issue.
Future is going to be for 1800 and 2600 Bands which are the only two bands supported by Infocus and none other bands..! How smart Infocus people are to do this research for Indian market.
What a flash sale.. I was able to add both products to cart just now at 10:30 pm!! Sale not picking or too much units for sale God knows.
it’s Open sale bro.
Infocus should focus on design
NO heating issues on Infocus m530 always less than 40 degrees even at high usage.
Source-Reviewer On Youtube
Gogi plz address the heating issues if any on both 530 and k3 note.
Gogi bro these handset is still running on kitkat what about future updates???
Not sure about that, there is also no mentioned if updates will be provided.
Thanks bro
GOGI BHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIII ……… we all need reviews of M530 and k3 note …!!!!!!!! please help ..
a friend in need is a friend in deed!
Dear gogi g which one is better ? M530 or k3 note. M530 have only HD display and k3 note has fhd display how they make change in real world performance? The main part is the camera, which camera is best ?? please give us a good detailed comparative review gogi, thanks in advance.
No difference in real world performance. On paper infocus m530 camera is better in all aspects. We cant expect more on camera of lenovo as a7000 proved worst among 8mp rear. So better wait, performance wise also m530 is slightly better antutu over 45000.
Lenovo k3 note also had 45000+ antutu score. Display is highly saturated and sharp. Mali T760MP2(695mhz) gpu gives best performance than PowerVr g6200 gpu used in infocus m530(450mhz). So gaming performance no doubt will good. Camera is also very good it gives every little detail at 13mp camera. Selfie camera 5mp is very good. U cant expect much more at 10000 rupees..
But in gflop it shows powervr g6200 with mtk 6595 is 71 whereas mali t760 mp2 with mtk 6752 only 47.6 gflop.
once again check it brother…
on snapdeal it is mentioned that it has 450 mhz
and gflop score is 57
bt overall gaming is better in k3 note
Yes am also waiting for review of M530 especially the camera review
What are the in box content? Why no screen protection for M350?
I got the M350 review unit (handset only) no box.
Gogi have you bought the m530.
Yes I have.
Gogi! whats your first Impression about M530? When can we expect a detailed Review?
Please read the article.
I think you have got review unit, please review it asap?
Waiting for review.
Specially the camera as it comes with same camera setup as vivo xshot. Which was great in lowlight shots.
Also would love to know if this supports long shutter speed.
I too interested in M530. Bit confused between k3 note and this one. I think M530 has better camera. Waiting for your review.
I think infocus better than lenovo k3, because I am using infocus m2 few months I love this small phone specially screen quality and camera+ battery backup. I hope infocus m530 can beat lenovo k3.
Does Infocus M350 supports otg?
I checked just now, yes it does.
Gogi bhai have you got this handset? when we can expect review?
Mother why not father!
Coz mother is superior than father….lol.
Price should be 6999 for m350 little bit over priced.
Gogi bro please review Infocus 530 and Lenovo K3 note asap.
Whats your take? Shall I go for m530 or just wait for review and then decide ?. Just loved the specs but worried about the camera, audio quality and battery backup …
Gogi,please help which is more powerful,infocus m530 or should i wait for k3 note,im a power user.
Me too, confused lets wait for his reply and then decide ..!!!
Go for m530, camera is awesome as well as performance.
I think infocus is more powerful, I googled search about its gpu performance, mtk 6595 with power 6200, 2 clusters score 71 gflop whereas mtk 6752 with mali t760 mp2 score only 47.3 gflop.
Infocus m530 is more powerfull. And has a better camera setup as well.
True, but after sale service is a big issue with infocus whereas lenovo had plenty of service centres. I am also in dilemma between these two beauty. Screen quality and camera is no good in lenovo whereas it is good in infocus. Anyways waiting for Gogi bro’s review….
