Nokia’s been incredibly busy of late, outing new feature phones and top of the line metal smartphones day after day, so it’s not surprising if you missed the Nokia Lumia 520 in all the hubbub. Do so at your peril though: it’s a smartphone with a big, j...
Good There’s not a great deal to say about the Nokia Lumia 520 hardware, good or bad. It’s just a block. But it’s a smooth block with few pointless edges and seams, that houses a five megapixel camera and a superb four-inch 480x800 resolution screen that looks great and is easy to read on and watch videos, now that there’s finally a proper YouTube app for Windows Phone.That’s more than enough to stand...
Bad We’ll largely skip over the software issues we have with all Windows Phones. You probably know what they are by now: fewer apps. The only unusual software issue we ran into was that as with the Nokia Lumia 720, the Lumia 520 inexplicably lacks Nokia Drive+, so while you can use your phone as a free satnav in the UK, you can’t download maps for other countries when you’re travelling abroad, as you...
Bottom line The Nokia Lumia 520’s a corking phone for under £100. True, there are Android phones floating around at this point with many, many more apps on offer, but they lack the ease of use of Windows Phone and Nokia’s solid engineering. Our only advice? Shop a...
