I've found this phone to be reasonably worth for what we pay. I previously owned an Android phone and that was a last moment deicison over a Windows phone. And the idea of owning a WP has now fulfilled. I liked this phone for what it is. Everything about this phone is good except for couple of things for now - (1) camera picture clarity could have been better though not disappointing, and (2) should have a way to group videos in kid's corner (does not look good to have hundreds of video tiles on the home screen for kid's corner as scrolling them would be time-consuming). I'm still in the process of exploring the phone - no regrets so far, and (3) playing FM without headset could have been implemented (for now, I'm using a headset with little piece of wire and without the actual earphones so that it acts as an antenna and turning the speaker on).

I was looking to purchase a simple smartphone on a tight budget. Amongst most options in this range, the Lumia 520 is by far the leader of the pack. Priced at around 7.9k, the laptop is well balanced with features and performance . Would definitely recommend this to students, and professionals who have a sub 10k budget.

Tip: the black model comes with a fabric like finish to the back plate which I think isn't available on the other models where the back plate is matte. Making them quite slippery.

Purchased in October after many positive reviews about Nokia lumia 520....Many were critical about the windows over a android. As I never used android phone before...did not find any lag or discomfort....It's feel good smart phone....Yes there are occasions when the phone hangs....it is same with a windows installed computeras well...There also we adhere to forced shut down.....Here too I have to remove the battery...Is this a bug?? I guess this how a windows phone works....Thus far I had to face this situation 3 times in 3 months !! is this high...Nokia has to answer...or may be users can reply !! other then this phone is perfect in all other aspects! Worth buying!

I am not a tech wizard. i wanted a smart phone. Android or windows. I would not want. I had bad experience with Samsung in the past and found Nokia to be reliable , so I went for this one. I find it very handy and all my requirements are fulfilled. I want routine apps, e-readers from Kindle, e-readers from flip cart and all those small things and they are all possible with this one. Easy inter-phase. What it doesn't have? usual things like archiving message and all those little irritants that Nokia is now becoming famous for. This is present in other Nokia phones. If you want to forward a message, you don't have a log to pick up number from there. Why these idiots at Nokia give up what they already have?
All in all good value for money. And I saved net 1,000 rupees by bying online. Very prompt in executing the order

Its a pretty good deal for those who are not too much into gaming and lokoing for good camera with HD recording at low price. I was initially impressed with the performance but then when started testing it with some games the lag showed up. I like it and would be really good for any demographic not interesting on performance draining games. Camera+songs+small games and day long battery, this phone's the way to go (Y)

One always has a doubt while going in to buying a phone for under 10k, whether or not it be good. But you dont need that with this one. This one's a killer. From the dual core processor providing the buttersmooth performance of the UI, to the UI itself, to the other aspects of hardware like the camera or the display quality, you feel it dont let you down, and to get all that in under 10k. I dunno if anyone can ask for more, given the price. Coming to the camera, it is great, though it lacks the flash. Personally, I'm not a big fan of using flash in photos, as I like them in natural lighting. The native camera app is just ok, but the nokia smart cam app is really good. The 4" display is one you'll fall in love with, but I hear the display is a bit washed up when compared with those of 620 or 720. But who is comparing that much. You cant have everything on a phone under 10k. Plus, the windows phone UI, it also gets some time to get used to if you are coming from android or something. But you will get over the latency in a couple of hours.
So I say, if you are looking for a phone in under 10k, dont think twice, just go for it..!! :-)

Android, iOS, Windows Phone, BB10.......

No need to pay attention on these when you have a limited budget as you can't expect much from lower price points but exactly this is the point where this mobile satisfies all your smartphone needs while not stealing your money.

This is my very first windows phone. I love its responsiveness and speed. Though it is small on many parameters compared to its more illustrious seniors (620, 720, 920 etc), its performance is wonderful. And at the price it is available, it is much better than higher priced phones. I don't need many apps and other functions and so I think this is the phone for me. This phone has made me a 'windows fan'!

I am currently an Iphone user and needed a secondary smart phone. Am absolutely delighted with the Nokia Lumia 520. The look and feel is fantastic - very upmarket. Bought the white: classy.
I had evaluated the 620 also but didnt feel like paying the extra money for the LED Flash and the front camera to take selfies. I loved its size too: its neither too big not too small and fits comfortably in my hand AND in my pocket. Again had felt the 620/720 etc were too over-sized. Comes with a micro-USB charger which means its easy to charge; now that most devices have a micro USB. In terms of usage, find it very easy and intuitive to use. Loved the Here Maps.
Been a though-and-through Apple user so I think it will take me a certain while to learn the other Nokia features / apps. As of now, I am very very happy with the Nokia.

Plus, hats-off to Amazon. You are my new HOT favorite. Awesome prices and even better delivery. I got my entire order (phone+ 2 books + a chess game) in <12 hours. HOW did you guys do it! IMPRESSIVE.

I was looking for a smartphone under 10k and I was on a tight budget. Started my research and soon realized that cheap android phones are a waste of money and one should buy higher or medium range phones to get a good android experience. I didn't mind experimenting and soon Lumia 520 caught my eye. It had the best screen on any phone less that 10k, reasonable memory and reasonably good appstore. All the major apps are there in Windows appstore also and those were enough for me. But the RAM was only 512MB, but then I knew I am not gonna install each and every app. Flipkart suddenly stopped servicing my area and hence I ordered through Amazon. The delivery was extremely quick and that detailed review of the delivery is given separately. The phone just the right size. It is super fast with nice clean UI and I was able to install all the major apps I wanted. Like Whatsapp, Facebook, Evernote, TuneIn radio etc. I would definitely recommend this phone to everyone on a tight budget. A comparable android phone (It has 1GB RAM though) I found was Sony Xperia M. But it costs 5k more and hence the decision to buy this was a no brainer.
