Nokia Lumia 520 User Reviews

The best smartphone under 10k! 5.0 stars
This is possibly the best smartphone so far under 10k. Being a windows Phone the OS is pretty light compared to android so the phone performs a lot better even as a budget one while android actually needs some serious hardware to perform well so a branded budget android phone usually just won't cut it. I've found the battery life to be quite acceptable for a smartphone. So unless you need some ios or android specific apps, a windows phone is actually a great choice, especially the Nokia Lumia range.

Perfect back up phone 5.0 stars
I already have a 1520 but as with any smartphone, it is always good to have a back up phone when things go bad - battery dies out, repairs and other such disasters.

i had to choose between 630 and 520. 630 had the latest processor, but was stuck with a bad resolution and 512 MB RAM. online reviews and feedback and tech sites suggested that 630 is just asking for too much money for poor performance. Then, i decided to get the 520 because it does most of the things that 630 but for 3000 less rupees.

i wont recommend 520 for anybody who craves performance. The phone is breezy enough for everyday usage but is bad for anything remotely intensive. As a back up phone, it is just about perfect. Worth the money. Thanks to the cloud, everything syncs flawlessly between my 1520 and 520. That is always a plus. Make sure you get a SD card when you buy the 520.

Nice experience 4.0 stars
Bought this mainly to try OS other than Andriod or iOS.

Since it was new to me, took couple of days to get used to UI, various options, etc

Overall, a very clean approach if we get used to it..did not experience any lag as of now..This phone will be used by father..for him it does not make any difference if its Andriod or Windows..He has picked up the way to use it..

Hoping to get 8.1 updates if they are planning to give it to Lumia 520..that would really make this phone even more interesting..

Pros: Away from monotonous andriod (samsung mostly) & iOS look and feel, smooth while working on apps, good camera when used outdoor..
Cons: Obviously some learning curve, would like to see 1 GB since motorola is coming up with one in the same price range, no front facing camera..

Bang for the buck! 4.0 stars
There isn't much that can be said about this except that you get what you pay for, which is still a lot better than some of Android competition in this price range barring the Moto G. Bought it for a friend and it was intuitive enough for a first-time user like him to dive into and effectively use the phone. Would recommend it for anyone taking the step into smartphones. A capable device indeed and Thank you Amazon for the quick 1-day delivery too! Glad to see someone bringing world-class service to India!

Real Budget Smartphone 5.0 stars
Amazon:
- Delivered in time as mentioned.
- Product Original.
- Packing was good.
- Helpful interaction with amazon team :)

Bought this handset for my Dad at 6999 INR. Using it from 1 month.

Positives:
- Light weight.
- Easy to hold and goes well in your pockets.
- Build quality excellent.
- Ips display perfect under sunlight.
- Sufficient features and applications available.
- Battery life very good last 3 -4 days.
- Operating system smooth no lag.
- Audio quality good.
- Voice clarity good.
- Camera apps and camera perfect in sunlight but decent performance under low light :(
- The most beautiful feature i found is the Kid's Corner. Here, you can create different profile for your kid. And you will be at peace, while your child is trying her hands at your mobile. With this profile, your child can not make any outgoing calls or can not mend with your important files in the phone.

Restrictions:
- Front camera
- Flash
- 512 mb RAM (few high graphics games lags or not possible to play at present).
So it is not disadvantages it is actually restriction of this handset ....

Disadvantages:
- At 3G mode handset becomes hot and battery drains very fast .
- The headset bundled with box are not so good and don't have facility to answer the call from headset.
- There is no key to search within mobile, instead there is a key that takes you to the web search engine- Bing.
- File manager missing.

Pleasure to use 4.0 stars
Phone is very good except battery capacity is very low. I have to charge frequently.
I like all features, cost low for a windows phone and pleasure to use. I would have given 5 star if at least a minimum of 1800 mAH battery was provided. Micro SIM is to be used, so I have to get a new SIM and could interchange from my other phone.
