Nokia Lumia 520 Review
Nokia has released the Lumia 520 that comes with Windows 8 and it is smartly placed in the budget category of smartphones. While Lumia 520 fails to prove worth in front of the more expensive Lumia 620, it still shows users how Windows 8 experience can be bought through a budget phone.
Design
Most of the budget phones tend to have a cheap looking design that is not stylish at all. Nokia has made some efforts in this area by covering the whole Lumia 520 with a back plate, apart from the front screen. This back plate is tough for protection and also has a nice matt finish which makes it feel good in the hands. Lumia 520 has quite a different design when compared to Lumia 620, but it really does seem classy. Lumia 520 comes in 5 popular colors of red, yellow, white, blue and black. There is also a memory card slot in the battery.
Screen and Display
Lumia 520 comes with a bright display. It has a 4 inch screen which is quite generous for a budget phone. In outdoor conditions it might be difficult to view the screen.
The Windows smartphone comes with a resolution of 800x480 with 233ppi. The screen is also scratch-less which adds to the safety of the phone.
Software and Hardware
Lumia 520 runs the latest Windows 8 smoothly and the experience of the software is similar to those on the high-end phones of Nokia. Nokia might have released this phone in the budget category but it has made no compromises in the software. The phone comes packed with a dual-core 1GHz Qualcomm processor and 512MB of memory. Regular use of Lumia 520 has shown that the phone does not lag a lot and is successful in providing a better experience than most budget Android phones.
Lumia 520 is not the best phone for gaming mainly because there are not many games offered by Windows 8 to begin with.
Communication
While most Android users use different apps for communication purposes, Lumia 520 through Windows 8 has integrated such app together and this has brought together social networks and email accounts. The phone has a generous screen size and the keyboard also has a perfect design that compliments typing.
Lumia 520 Camera
Lumia 520 is not able to compete with some of the top notch Lumia phones such as Lumia 1020 because of its 5 megapixel camera. The phone also does not come with a front camera which means that you cannot join in the selfie culture with this phone. Lumia 520 might only have a 5 megapixel but its camera is able to capture a lot of detail and can also focus on photos very quickly.
Lumia 520 does not come with a flash light so you cannot take pictures in the dark.
Lumia 520 Battery
Lumia 520 is large enough to accommodate a 1430mAh battery which is larger than the battery of Lumia 620. The phone can easily last a whole day with just one full charge.
Verdict
It is evident that Lumia 520 has made a lot of compromises because of its price but it is still a nice budget phone. If you love taking pictures then Lumia 520 might not be the best phone for you as there are better alternatives out there.
