About the product
Pro's
1.The 1 GHz Dualcore Processor makes the phone quite fast.
2.Its really light weight.
3.Very sturdy, it feel down like 5-10 times till now and only a minor scratch. Actually surprised the screen did not get damaged because its not gorilla glass.
4.Windows Phone 8 with the Lumia Black update makes things very very good.
5.The battery life is very good too. im not an avid user but i get approx 1.5-2 days which is very good
Con's
1.The camera is just average being a 5mp but i have seen better 5mp cameras
2.Lack of flash.(no need to expand on this)
3.Lack of a front camera, no problems faced due to the lack of it but wont hurt to have one.
3.The 512mb ram is not sufficient all the time. Whatsapp randomly crashes,and phone lags sometimes. but only sometimes.
4.To remove sim card/memory card we have to remove the battery
5.Although memory card slot is provided all the apps install onto phone memory but this is going to be addressed by Microsoft in the coming updates, so dont have to worry about that.

Verdict: Great phone for a even greater price, few shortcomings but what the heck every phone has a few shortcomings.

Nice phone for those who are not too techy, easy interface, Battery last for abut 2-3 days of normal use (NO 3G/2G) and with some WIFI use it lasts for more than a day. Within 8k price range, this is an excellent VFM phone

PROS
Excellent call quality, sound. Good built quality. Superb touch response, good display
Camera is decent.

CONS
1.one problem is that the signal strength, battery level is not displayed at top always unlke in other phone where these are displayed always at top., in this phone ,u need to slide down to see these details.
2.The buttons at bottom are not back lit.
3. no secondary camera.
4. Since speaker is at backside ,sometimes the phone ring is not audible in noisy areas. wish the speaker was at side/bottom.

This is a really good product from Nokia. I believe in "user experience" rather than "spec comparison" and i really love this phone as this is excellent in that aspect. Even though this comes with 512 MB RAM, it is far more faster and smoother to use than some of the other ones I have used with double the RAM, it really lies in the software part and not solely on the spec.

Some Pro's-
1. Excellent display.. Really this is one of the biggest difference as IPS display feels really good while browsing and reading :)
2. Touch feels so smooth
3. Build quality is very good.
4. Camera clarity is nice ( needs good lighting as there is no flash)
5. Windows 8 is pretty fast. (Also Amber update is already present)

No major con's i have seen so far, but the Apps available are not huge compared to android, and the major ones we usually use are in Nokia/Windows app store for free :). Also the battery holds good for 2 days for moderate usage, but heavy applications/camera reduces it fast. Also there is no scratch guard when we take it out of the box which is commonly available for most touchscreen phones nowadays.

Pre-installed apps like MS office and outlook are nice. There is 8 GB internal memory (5GB available for personal use) and additional Skydrive(cloud) provided for storage.

This is a wonderful and good quality phone at this price and highly recommended!

The product is too good for the price. Flawless performance. Touch is too sensitive. Never get hanged. It will take some time for Android users to get used to Windows 8. Nokia Mix radio is too good. Very bright screen and ok viewing angles.

Cons:
Not for people who wants lot of apps. The store should have more free Apps.
SD Card browsing is not there.
Notification app drawer is missing compared to Android.

Overall Verdict: Go for this.

As I recived the product from Amazon,1st thing i need to mention is packaging. I can award a 5 star for their packaging. Amazon should start their own logistics. Now If i come to the phone it,s a good fone for Windows 8 users as you register for a microsoft account and connect your emails faceboos and twitter account with it It will get sync'd automatically. Now afer the introduction of Windows phone 8 and easy PC and Phone sync its great to use.I am using this for past 1 month and I am happy with the performence And one thing I must say is the touch sensitivity . I have used i pad and Iphones before andI have never seen such a good touch sesitivity even in any android phone renging 15K.You can even sync your itunes librery with your windows phone
Now I must say about few con's of the phone . Battery of the Lumia 520 is what I can say is oned of the worst i have ever seen, If you gonna use your phone randomly with data,phones as well as with data over wifi your battery life is maximum 6-8 hours. I am not complaining as this is very common among the smartphones. Headphone as always provided by by nokia with such a good phone is worst I have ever met. The phone get over heated whenyou charge it or use data.And nokia saying it's not a problem.
Overll i can say that cons are less and can be adjustable and one can surely go Windows at such a low price Its a multitaskingphone with MS office Xbox music and games and many more,but a bit less apps on windows store but again I cn say that,s not a issue because less apps means less harrasment to your phone.
Last but not the list i didnt play games in my phone so I am nott gonna review against the gaming experiance of the phone,but few of my friends using windows phone says that it's much better than a same budjet android.
So that'ls all And i am gonna recommand this to my next buyers.

I am new to Windows phone (I am an Android user)& trust me this phone handles great.

The snapdragon S4 dual core chip along with 512 MB RAM makes the user experience smooth & lag free. Camera is decent & can shoot 720p videos, pic quality is again decent, though lack of flash is disappointing. Since its a budget phone the omissions aren't surprising.

With the latest update the FM radio has been enabled. The windows store has all necessary apps though the collection is shady compared to the play-store (android) & the app-store (Iphone)

The phone is definitely a looker, the 4 inch screen isn't too big nor small & just fits the bill. Watching videos & pics are hassle free & the screen supports vibrant colours along with good contrast & viewing angles.

For its price there is no better alternative than the lumia 520.

I got this phone cheapest here that is only for ₹ 7000/- so am very happy for the deal. Lumia 520 is one of the successful phone available from Lumia. At this reasonable rate it has exceptional features
1. Runs on windows 8 and Lumia amber
2. Has 8 gigs of internal storage and can be expanded up to 64gb using micro sd
3. Has a 4 inch display with 230ppi bt u can hardly notice any pixels,don't know how nokia has managed this
4. A 512mb ram and 1ghz dual core Qualcomm snapdragon processor keeps its working smoothly u can also njoy hii end games such as asphalt 7 etc.
5. Nice camera performs well at daylight conditions but at night u can't click cool pics bcoz of absence of flash bt no complaints u r getting dis phone only for ₹7000
hope the review would prove to be useful for future buyers
thanks

This low end phone is good. Windows Phone OS is clean, no OEM crap if you know what I mean. So instead of low end Android, I would take low end windows phone. When it comes to 15K+ phones, it's another matter :-) Windows Apps are behind the curve. App developers are not treating it as top tier platform. 'Whats app' does not have disabling group notifications but keeping individuals - feature. Little things annoy me. Flipboard did not exist. So I ain't buying any highend windows phones. However this particular device is good value for its price. So far I have found only one negative, sound quality is average or below average when you are talking over phone. My 3 years older LG Optimus 7 had better sound. Other than that pretty pleased with what it has to offer for this attractive price.

I got this from the seller "Saholic" on Amazon for only 6999/-. Got it delivered the next day itself.
The build quality of the phone is great. Windows Phone 8 works great on this even when it has only 512MB RAM.
Sound quality is good as well. Recommended for people who want to try a Windows 8 phone without burning a hole in their pocket.
Pros. - almost everything
Cons. - No front camera
