Nokia Lumia 520 review: Best buys

16 April 2013
The Lumia 520 completes the roll call for Nokia’s second generation of Microsoft-powered smartphones. Statistically, this means that every step of their product line, from 5** all the way to 9**, has been backed up by a fresh WP8...

      Hey.. I bought this phone one week ago as i was excited about its os. As i have heard that android phone are not performing well so i purchased lunia 520. Firstly, the big screen was the most eye cacthy feature. But actually it is the worst one. The super senditive touch makes typing very hard as the screen automatically starts works without even touching it, if the thump is just upper the screen but is not touching it, the screen types the text. Secondly, nokia is talking about the dual core processor. Actually there are no applications in the windows market place that uses the dual core fully. And in multi tasking this box usualy takes 2-3 seconds. The phone hangs alot and the battry back up is not upto the mark. There is no fm radio. Importing videos from uc browser is a headache. No file manager. No task manager. I dont know where the hell is my phone storage is going on. All in all nokia should stop making these foolish smartphones and looks forward to and starts making digital camera for cinemagraphy and other bullshit camera lenses.

            Instead of bitching about stupid things like "records only 720p in mono" how about this is the nicest handset you can get for less than $150. I had the lumia 610 and I miss it a lot...gave it to my daughter... I plan on a 520 to replace my captivate glide...miss having a sleek inexpensive wp handset that just works, has great battery life, and looks good no matter what you paid for it...

                                Not bad. I purchased one this morning, and it runs about as well as the spec sheet would indicate. Sound out of my NuForce NE-700Ms is pretty good (very clean, no hiss. Volume levels leave something to be desired, but I intend to buy a portable amp anyway). My biggest gripe - and it may even be an isolated issue - is that the touchscreen is finicky. Things start to freakishly shake left and right and apps sometimes open by themselves. I suspect an evil piece of lint on the screen; it goes away after I clean the screen, but soon after it comes back.
