Lacks frontfacing camera. Applications available on Windows Phone Store is meager
Very cheap, Windows Phone 8 business perks, interchangeable covers, Here Maps and Drive
Screen suffers from glare issues, camera isn't great, chassis is prone to picking up marks
The Lumia 520 is the most affordable Windows Phone ever made by Nokia. However, in a bid to keep the device's cost down Nokia has stripped the device of close to all the innovations that made its Lumia devices great, diminishing the 520's overall appeal....

Decent camera, Quick performance, Great hardware quality
No front camera, No LED flash, 512MB RAM,
The Lumia 520 is the best phone that you can buy at the Rs. 10,000 price point. No, it does not have every app under the sun but the essentials are covered and it provides a quick, stress free smartphone experience with no hint of a lag. You also get N...

Good allaround value for the money, Free offline voiceguided navigation, Screen can be operated with gloves
Subpar call quality
If you don't mind the sketchy call quality, Nokia has hit the nail on the head with its most affordable Windows Phone handset to date. It runs the newest version of Microsoft's mobile OS, has a zippy processor, expandable storage, and produces decent p...
Affordable price; Excellent screen; Decent bundled apps, especially sat-nav; Colourful changeable covers; Expandable storage and swappable battery
Lacklustre rear camera; No front-facing camera; Unimpressive battery; Windows Phone app store still lags rivals
The Nokia Lumia 520 offers useful Nokia apps, a decent screen and a dual-core processor -- the same specs you'll find on the much more expensive Lumia 720. Unless you crave a better camera, the 520 is a total bargain....

Good, Sturdy design, Good value for money, Bundled Nokia apps
Display could have been better, Average rear camera, no flash or front camera, App ecosystem not at par with Android and iOS
If you are looking for a budget smartphone for around Rs.10,000 that is not running on Android, then look no further than the Nokia Lumia 520. The smartphone looks decent and packs in enough punch for a smartphone of this range. Moreover, this smartphone ...
