This is a phone you can get lower-level contracts, and costs about £ 120 SIM-free at the time of writing. It lacks the most flair and precautions clean the 620 Lumia, but is yet more proof that the Windows Phone 8 is a great platform for low-end phones. Don't want to read the full review? We did a quick review of 520 la Lumia, with a first-hand look at the phone and all its main bits. One of the most common problems in entry-level phones is that they tend to feel cheap. Are usually chunkier and less elegant high-end phones and suffer higher build quality issues.

However, the Nokia Lumia 520 is one of the best phones in its class in this sense. It uses a plastic lid as virtually all phones cheap, but the backplate deftly covers the whole phone apart from the screen.

This gives the phone a similar unibody look for high-end phones Lumia, although it is not absolutely a unibody. To ensure a robust feel coverage is fairly thick, and has a Matt finish, structured to avoid the bad taste of shiny plastic that plagues many cellphones.

For the price, the 520 Lumia looks and feels like a classy product. However, it is not quite as pretty or nice as la Lumia 620. Cover of the phone that has a translucent layer that gives them a depth look finishes. Here, the plastic is dull stuff.

Its ergonomics are pretty good, though. Structured coating offers a little extra grip and the rear carefully curved sits comfily in hand.

There are also some neat style touches, such as the trio of Lumia-staple of physical buttons on the right edge of the phone is black contrast punchily phone tones. There is no labelling tricks of what these buttons do not even – another common aesthetic blunder to cheapy phones.

If you're wondering, these commands are shutter buttons, volume and camera power.

The phone comes in shades of red, blue and yellow, as well as the more sober blacks and whites. And microSD memory card slot and SIM slot live under the battery cover to help keep simple external appearance on Lumia 520.

520 Display la Lumia is slightly larger than 620 Lumia. Is four inches across, which is pretty generous for a budget phone like this. In addition to being a shade larger than its more expensive brother, is also larger than the Samsung Galaxy Ace screen 2 and Sony Xperia e. and both of those tend to cost more.

However, it is quite crucial to a number of different ways. Its viewing angles are fine, but the display quality is otherwise limited. There is a reddish tint to the display, ensuring accuracy of color is so-so and the lack of any sort of reflection-fighting layer reduces the impression of the contrast and makes the Lumia 520 a bit of a pain to use outdoors – is seriously.

The glass covering the display is not robustly, even tempered. Has any scratch resistance, but will bend under the pressure of a thumb stop prod. However, it is far from the worst case we've seen, and any normal pressure does not cause any distortion on the screen.

Screen resolution is 800 x 480 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of 233ppi. The sharpness is well below the best phones out there, but for a low end phone is perfectly fine. Plus higher brightness is incredibly uncomfortable to contemplate in most situation and the screen size is large enough to happily read websites and play.
