If you have a tight budget and are looking for a phone which will blow you away for such a low price, 520 is the one. If lag kills, buy Lumia 520 because WP8…..not going to lag. If you like casual photography but do not bother too much about detail, buy t...
The Lumia 520 delivers a compelling experience at Rs 10,499, something which no other Android smartphone can replicate. We are starting to see devices like the Zen UltraFone 701HD, which delivers something close to Windows Phone like UI fluidity on Androi...
Killer price, Decent specs, Windows Phone 8 and Nokia apps
Display not the greatest, Mediocre camera, Build quality could have been better
What makes the Lumia 520 special is the fact that it is perhaps the only smartphone in the vicinity of Rs 10,000 to be running the latest version of a new OS. We don't think it really delivers as much value for money as the Lumia 620, but is a very decent...
So shoud you get the phone? It's a definite yes if you're in the market for an entry-level smartphone. Admittedly, there are many Android devices in the same price range but Android OS on entry-level devices are not that optimised as Windows Phone. Also, ...
This is a rightly priced device. At 10k, you can't ask for anything more than what Nokia Lumia 520 is offering. Android phones at this price range are not great performers. Though functionality is limited at certain rows of the spec sheet, it does not mat...
The Nokia Lumia 520 is priced at Rs 10,500 and this makes it incredible value for money and easily the best handset under Rs 10,000, provided you're ok with the limited number of popular apps available. It has a very good display, good multimedia capabil...

Lacks camera flash, No frontfacing camera, Not many games available yet
On a full charge, the 1430 mAh battery easily last for a day and half with normal day to day use. In our 720p video loop test, the phone lasted for a little more than five hours. The Lumia 520 is officially priced at Rs 10,500. However, if you look aroun...
