Nokia Lumia is lacking behind for flashlight. Other than this Win OS is lacking behind because of following few features i.e :
* exe file doesnt exist because of which we need to install app from d start.
* features like sending multiple songs to other devices does not present.
* need to download app for many basic need like downloading songs(free), changing the ringtone(customized), live tile for wifi, bluetooth, network etc..
* No app is present by which u can lock selective appl
* The brightness of mobile is low which affecting the picture quality.

Yes, hardware is good, performance is smooth and no lag, but the restrictions of its OS made me headache. No notification center, WhatsApp always shows " WhatsApp has detected an issue with your device Push Notifications systems. Please reboot your device" message and can't send video without recording. I put no class written 16 GB microSD inside Lumia 520, the phone restarted by itself without reason. UC Browser sometimes shows out of memory if I open two tabs (www.gsmarena.com and www.wpcentral.com) and force closed. I couldn't read my documents that available in microSD. While I use Android, I can do all this without many complaints.

                Rishu, 17 Nov 2013Hi NikiDroid, I hv heard that GDR3 is available on 520. bt... moreIf open Store find that Preview for Developers, you won't find it. Go to www.wpcentral.com/video-microsoft-preview-for-developers-windows-phone-8-gdr3

                Look at this paragraph below:

                We go hands on with the 'Preview for Developers'
                app and show you what it's like to update to
                Windows Phone 8 Update 3 (build 10512)
                This morning, Microsoft not only announced Windows
                Phone 8 Update 3 (aka GDR3) but they also announced a
                Preview for Developers program whereby devs can get early
                access to the latest OS builds by download an app (and
                being a registered developer). How fast can you get GDR3?
                Well you can do it right now . In fact, we updated our Nokia
                Lumia 925.

                There is "download an app" sentence (it’s in blue color on the website), touch that sentence, it will bring you to Store that contains Preview for Developers app. Install it.

My past phone was galaxy chat after changing changing to window little bit difficult for me. But smart phone u purchase according to requirements. Android take 6 years to mature os and window phone os is still growing slowly slowly. Some limitation is there. But good for those who simply browse, chatting, good camera, simple games, want free offline here maps, smooth touch goo for them. I will never recommend this phone for muslic lovers and hard gamers because there is no equaliser in this phone and averager battery.
