Nokia Lumia 520 - User Reviews

  • Because not all phone versions can use all apps from the store.

  • Agree, quality built and still perfectly good to use in 2019. I think the camera is a bit better than you do, it was very good for macro shots, and generally good for a 5mp camera.

  • Correct to the recent previous comment on the longevity and reliability of this phone. I have the 521 t-mobile version and needed to use as a backup when my other phone was having issues. Sure, it's not now or never was a gaming phone (to another previous poster), but STILL great for calls, email, some web browsing, I still used the Here+ Maps, still syncs my outlook calendar. Used it as a wifi hotspot for my other phone on a trip. Still love my 521 the only reason I got another phone was fear of what would happen when they stopped support for Windows Phone 8.1 - and needed a bit larger screen. If not for those two things it would still be my daily driver.

  • I am using dhis phone but when i downloading aps and games i cant download all from store why? What is the problem ?? Plzz contact me .

  • I am currently using this old phone after my Moto G5 Plus got stolen....I am really shocked by seeing a 5 years old phone is still working fine with minimal lag

  • One of the better made Lumia phones. Despite the low price, it even had a camera physical button. Loud sound, loud call voice, good screen. This was a quality phone before Nokia started to cut the costs and build less well made phones. Can still be used as of 2019 in 3G. The downside was the camera was clearly poor, in particular the photos quality. The lens were not good. Also no front camera for those into Skype. But the rest of the phone was made with quality components.

  • Most popular WIndows phone ever, and the most popular Lumia device, and that for a budget smartphone back in the day.

  • I sorta want this again...

  • here esat whatapp

  • I remember I had an lg flip-phone,when that got laggy I got a Samsung monte s5620 it was great!When I lost it I got a Lumia 520. It has bad app support and bad quality.

  • Support for messenger has been removed from windows Phone by Facebook corporation

  • I faced the same problem years ago. It is an hardware related issue and can only be fixed by replacing the hardware. It costed me 1800 Indian rupees then about 20% of the amount for which i bought the phone

  • Its an inbuilt feature. You can find it in settings under call+sms filter. You can also try Truecaller

  • Probably you are still on Windows 8, upgrade to 8.1 then you can find it in the store

  • This phone deleted all my data with a simple software update (not the 8 to 8.1 one...). I hate it, and the company too. It is not possible to run a single data backup program on it, because this piece of shhhh isn't even capable of appear in the system as a drive. (Like a USB one or etc.)

  • New phone over come

  • i use it from first launching in Indonesia...approxiametly 5 years ago and it's still working normally... the feature i love is here drive, it can navigate us without using internet, the gps receiver is good enough

  • just long press the number and then it will appear options, one of them is blocking number

  • Using it for 4 years causing the problem doesn't surprise me at all. Modern smartphones are not as rugged as the old smartphone like symbian phones and etc. Nokia has released a lot of Android smartphones now, so I recommend buying one of those.

  • go to settings / language and select the desired language ( English American/ British ) Other way is - settings / region . Select your region ( USA,INDIA,UK ....) And there is an option below it - regional format ( match phone language). This will automatically sync with region selected. This will sort out your problems.

  • Hi Toyeen, take a look to this solution. Basically It is a imperfection on Nokia 520 phones, cause the poor welding on the buttons, but easily fixed.

  • My touch screen broke; so I changed it from a local repair person at Noida. Now the display is erratic, it fluctuates and starts moving on its own. Can some one advise me what should I do now? regards & best wishes.

  • I have this one is good, but on windows phone store isn't enought apps. It is goodworking phone for me

  • Can any one help me how to download language pack of only 23 mb because it is showing 'downloading language...' from last two days on a 2.5 mbps 3g data connection why microsoft gave us a incomplete software phone?????

  • Software quality is good but some things force on you to never buy a wp (not nokia) nokia phones are the best even can beat today's high end mobile phones of other companies i have also a nokia 6600 since 2004 but i am still waiting on which day it will damage, but the condition is that i can use it for next 10 years if you want to buy a nokia ,it is good, but the bad is that , you are going to buy a wp 8

  • Never buy a wp , it does not store a unsupported file obtained from Bluetooth or any other source there is no file management system no front camera only a app based mobile in all the nokia series a to z lumia are the worst

  • my phone has been flashed and since i cannot download whasapp on iit what should i do?

  • My phone looses network , when am near a storage building 520 why

  • Nokia Lumia 520 is awesome phone within its features. Any windows phones last more than android phone, so if you bye an original windows phone, you will enjoy it. But don't hope anything that is not given as a feature by its authority.

  • My phone suddenly changed the character (keyboard) to Arabic. How do I get it back to English?

  • My phone Nokia Lumia 520 does not download any app. Where is the problem?

  • Not only this any Phone from Outside India and especially from countries like US. This is the problem. Its got to do nothing with Nokia or Microsoft but with Carrier

  • Lumia Selfie is a great app to take selfies. try it!!!

  • Download "FILES" app from the Windows Store. Please explore the windows store a bit. There are plenty of 3rd Party apps for each and every Android App. File Manager - "Files" One Note or Ever Note - To note down something. Tube HD - enables you to use Youtube and in my opinion is better than Youtube but you cannot download to SD card. Perfect Clock - Shows the Perfect time on the Live tile as a clock. Looks cool too MSN News, Weather and Sports Facebook,Whatsapp,Twitter, Popular games like Temple run, candy crush etc etc etc all the apps you need are there... Please explore and fiddle around the store a bit.

  • Mine (lumia 520) runs on windows 10 Install windows insider and use it for upgrade

  • You cannot update it to Windows 10. I too cannot update it to windows 10 as a L630 user. MS betrayed lower end Lumia owners. Download UPGRADE ADVISOR from the windows store and see for yourself.

  • how to update my 520 to windows10

  • there is no file manager and what sim card for networking

  • this model is overall good, the only setbacks for me are: first, the actual talk- and standby times are not like what it promises - not at least in my own experience with this phone. secondly, it only has one camera which is at the back of the unit so when I try to do a selfie (which is rarely), it's such a struggle even with a stick. for it's price, you get what you pay for.

  • my back botton and home botton has stopped working

  • i cant use musk as ringing tone

  • If I want to download application it so me close my family setup

  • No, only WP7 and older android and iOS versions as well as Symbian.

  • Is Lumia 520 to be affected with the issue of not having whatsup

  • It's a 3 years old phone. It's not meant to be compared with in today's time. But even at 512 mb RAM it will work smooth compared to any android phone in its league. Windows doesn't need hefty hardware to work. Even simple hardware will be enough for Windows to run butter smooth. It has expandable storage slot.

  • it is the worst phone in the world.no storage,no front camera,,,,,and it is automatically hanging up....disgusting phone model in microsoft...worst...

  • Please hold on to the photo for some seconds..you see the option.

  • is it true that if you delete whatsup on nokia lumia 520 you won't be able to dowload it again

  • I am having sm s/w problem .on off button not working.screen remains black.only appers when I put with charger.gt repaired three times.but again.plz help

  • I want to unlock my phone

  • Nokia Lumia 520 is the worst phone what I ever seen. Company is earning by lock phones and when you want unlock, you should pay for that. If I know that before, I never buy this phone from my "friend".

Never buy any of Nokia accessories,I am using a lumia 520 now i want to copy or transfer my contacs to my sim card booo!!! there is no option for that.I have just call their customer care line the lady who was assisting me told me that Nokia is no longer supporting the phone like if you need help about your phone you have to go to your nearest nokia shop or ask someone else who will be able to assist you because they are no longer have the manuals for nokia phones they are now dealing with PC's. The interesting part is that they are still realizing Lumias but they no longer giving any support to their customers so if you decide to buy any nokia gadget please prepare yourself that you will suffer alone if there are things you don't understand about your new phone.

  • Hello everybody, I want to make an explanation to my opinion. I wrote: "This phone has no 4G bands which are the LTE ones, so advertising it only as 4G capable may be proper." Again gsmarena lists the LTE bands as 4G and this device has no such LTE bands. That is why I agree with the anonymous poster saying it really has 4G, meaning this phone's HSDPA+ (21.1 Mbps) is 4G but disagree meaning this phone has LTE (150 Mbps). Have a nice day.

  • good evineng maam/sir i just ask what can i do my nokia lumia 520 have error bootable and press any key to shut down. what can i do that my nokia lumai 520 to back in normal.? thank you and good bless always.

  • It really has 4G!

  • I really admired phone but i don't know where to buy it in Cameroon.

  • Hey bro! I also have this phone but I want to know does relaince jio will work on it Is there any app to internet booster

  • No

  • No. It does not support win 10. does not meet minimum requirement.

  • is this phone upgradable to windows 10?

  • 532 is way better

  • The phone chepit.. I can't even download anything

  • Hello, this phone can reach very good speeds on a 3G network (in theory 21.1 Mbps) as stated here (please read the specifications). This phone has no 4G bands which are the LTE ones, so advertising it only as 4G capable may be proper. It would be so nice to have a clear explanation about these terms, but they are very confusing. In my opinion 4G should have been used for the LTE bands only but it turns out it is used for the HSPA+ ones. It will depend which carrier you have to see nice speeds. I tested a Lumia 521 in South America with with 5.5 Mbps (DL). Have a nice day.

  • My phone has been off. when I try to put it on it doesn't work. It start to boot but it can setup. a blue background shows with a smiley in it. I don't what has come over the phone

  • I have got a Lumia 520 handset (HS) which was procured in KOLKATA-INDIA. Since procuring the HS, I am unable to operate that, presumably for want of internet connectivity. Even though I did not set up my Microsoft A/C at the HS, yet I find that the an A/C with user name "[email protected]" is appearing on the HS which calls for my Microsoft pass word. Since I did not set up my Microsoft A/C on procurement, nor created any pass word to operate for any such A/C , I find that in absence of above I am not able to excess any other window in the HS excepting only phone book, Linked In Box, photo & camera . I can not also close down the said internet A/C with [email protected] as user name. Pl. advice what I should do to activate the HS for availling other operations there under

  • Hi, I have my phoned for over two years and never before experienced problems with connecting to wi-fi, now after my contract has expired, I am unable to connect to wi-fi

  • I have 2 years using this phone, has the best screen definition

  • how to unlock an AT&T locked nokia lumia. I need a master to help me with this .

  • ilike this lumia 520 but the problem is the battery which stay only 11 hours.

  • My ringer worked until the phone updated to Cyan. Now it doesn't ring when I get a call. How can I fix this?

  • The battery rating (here at gsmarena) of 49 hours seems accurate. I get 2 days with normal use (normal use: 1h calling, 1 hour browsing, 1 hour media playback, 21 hours standby). Have a nice day - Using Lumia 521 (same battery as lumia 520).

  • what about nokia lumina battery? can its charge stay till 2days?

  • This is more. I liked the system and I was very proud to be among few users. My lumia is almost now 4 years (in my opinion not too many for a highly reputed phone). But in the 4 years the repair costed more than its original price due surely to its faulty software.

  • I have this phone for alredy 3 years, and i absolutelly love it. The battery life seems small on paper but for me, an average user till now, it colud go up to 2/3 days without charging, when the wifi was on a day and a half. The camera is great concidering its 5mp, with good lighting you can take pictures of notes and everything will be more than readable. The only downsides are 1. no front camera 2. poor ap choice ( bringing up pokemon go and the fact that messenger apps just dont work like thy sholud, notifications dont show up, concidering android and ios some settings missing etc.) For a person who doesn't use messenger apps and doesn't take selfies this is a perfect device. :)

Btw, the Windows mobile op system deserves a lot more credit than it gets, I have had iPhones and Android, but for its overall cost$-benefits, its Windows from now on for me!

  • I own a Nokia lumia 520 which I have been using. last week I decided to make use of the sim card in it on my mordem to browse with the lap top. after this exercise the phone refuse to work. What was seen on the screen was that I should try again later showing number of minutes that when calculated will be getting to over a year. the options there also are ; for emergency calls only and close. I removed the battery reloaded the sim and coupled it back but the same thing was still showing. I then changed the sim to another network but the same massage reoccurred. right now I can not operate my phone and don't know what else to do. I later discovered that in the absence of a sim card, the number of minutes is reduced to sum up to about one week so I have spent two days now and waiting to complete seven days. I really will appreciate your input towards getting a lasting solution. In other words what could be the reason for this strange behaviour in a phone that I have been using in the same way before now? please help!

  • Was on my first flight yesterday. While I switched off my 520 before takeoff and it remained switched off for the entire journey, shortly after landing it switched itself on automatically. I don't know how it can happen as it is switched off. I am sure it was switched off during the journey as I tried to check time now and then. I was cautious not to switch on since its my first flying experience. Do anyone have any idea on why this happened? Is it a feature? It happened on both my journeys to and fro.

  • You can play Full HD videos on this display on Nokia 520 which no one in this segment does. Any high-end game would work on this easily. Add that if a display breaks, it is due to your fault and not Nokia's. Nokia batteries are also cheaper and readily available than other phones. What else would you want to service?

  • Go to settings and check your call and network settings. Keep your sim card in one of the modes WCDMA or 2G.

  • Hard reset your phone. You can find it on the internet how to do it. Youtube also has a video for this.

  • I have not faced any problems with my Nokia Lumia 520. You cannot tell a phone brand is bad if only 1 phone faces this kind of issue. Nokia also gives a 1 year warranty that no other brand gives at its price, you can get your phone repaired for free if this happens when you purchase a Nokia phone and your phone is under warranty. Other brand phones are warranted for only 6 months or so.

  • Your phone notifies you when an update is available. You can also check for updates by going to Settings > Phone Update and tapping Check for updates. You can install the update immediately, or postpone the update to a more convenient time. Make sure your phone has the required memory and enough charge for the update. Keep it in charging, no worries.

  • go to login.live.com and click forgot password and follow the instructions.

  • I totally agree with Nirav. Even I have face same issue. If there is any defect in product itself then company must fix that for free. My Suggestion, always go for iPhone Or Android..

  • i love my phone before damn win 10 mobile microsoft is a big lier n i'll buy an android phone. i love nokia not microsoft

  • Never purchase Nokia Lumia series phones. It give to much hardware maintenance. Recently I faced issue with its software. Flight mode got activated automatically & when i tries to turn OFF flight mode it is not getting OFF. So I reached to Nokia customer service center. They checked my phone and told me that they are getting many complains for same issue and to fix this issue they will have to change the motherboard of phone which cost upto Rs. 3000. So now i cant even sell this phone (Rs. 0 sell back price). I am very much disappointed with Nokia Lumia product. Insted of going for Lumia series, it 1000 times good to take iPhone or Android phones.

  • yes

  • How should I repair my whatsapp that keeps on saying application error on Nokia 201

  • This phone overal is a decent cheap phone. And the issues are immediate. Phone does not connect to the Internet. Very few of the apps on the apple and android devices are on the Windows platform. The battery is very bad, and the overall processor is horrid. The graphics are pretty bad. Overall, if you are looking for a cheap phone, please do not buy any Windows device, buy an Android or Apple, even Apple's aren't cheap.

  • I have forgot my Microsoft mail account password If any one suggest what to do...

Hope this small thing may help some-one in need.

  • Shit don't buy. Awful battery life, awful display, awful speed. Won't let you use anything other than IE with Bing as default search engine (pretty sure). Very slow can't do simple tasks browsing the web is extremely difficult. The windows store is the worst and it has the smallest array of apps I have seen of any platform. Get a cheap phone that runs android it is much more worth it.

  • Yes.. I am also Lumia 520 user it's really good mobile.. After 2years it is working like new.. Nokia is no 1.. The king is coming soon

  • Offcourse

  • Most of these phones suddenly failing with error "Unable to find a bootable option. press any key to shutdown". That's it. one can throw their phone into dust bin because repair cost for this issue is more than 3K as they need to replace motherboard to fix this. Worst ever experience with Microsoft and Nokia. I could see its happening for most of the Lumia phones...........

  • it is not so . it powerbutton with volume up simultaneously.....

  • One of the worst phones ive used in my life. the battery was the worst i had to charge my phone 4 times a day. the 512MB ram provided was not enough if they could provide 1GB ram on a nokia asha 300 then why not in this model. Windows OS was also waste didnt have many apps and nothing was compatable. I will never use windows in my life. the system crashed after 11 months of use.

  • Can I use Skype ?

  • Great phone for starters, easy to use, reat design, but the screen is sensitive so don't throw and you need to be very careful. Other than that it's awesome!

  • do not update to denim dere will b performance issues with some of the apps........lumia cyan is very ok for it.....anything higher just lags d phone

  • Horrific phone. Glitches incessantly. Camera is horrific and the phone wont hang up most times. Deletes messages for no reason and blanks out a lot so you use a tonne more internet then you wanted or needed to. Uses a tonne of data for nothing, wont project internet to another device properly like its supposed to. No apps available on the app store... You cant even download the real instagram app, it doesn't exist for the app store on this phone. Ridiculous. Very unhappy with purchase.

  • awesome phone dudes ,its a worthy one.people who dont love themselves dont buy this.........

  • This is a great phone for its price, its fluent, has a good screen res, great touch response, windows 8.1 denim works great, I would advise to ignore all previous negative comments as those people can't even spell... The phone has a spell check and they still get I wrong... I advise that you get the Nokia Lumia 520!

  • Good phone, worth the money. Still getting updates after two years, good support. Newer option is the Lumia 550.

  • bro, i have faced same problem and now I want to buy a new phone ..

  • I've been using this mobile for past 3 years and I never felt the need of taking it to Service center...it's a good mobile with excellent battery backup. As there are so many limitations for Window OS we cannot compare the apps and features with Android, but i can say it's worth buying...Unlike every other mobile in the market it very rarely hangs, at least mine does that.

  • This is the worst phone I have ever had. To be honest, I don't know if it is the hardware, or the software/OS that's the problem. This phone has been known to do some very weird things; excessive pocket-dialing, 'pocket-dialing while sitting on a shelf with nothing touching it (I rather refer to calling ghost-dialling), however the biggest issue is that it shuffles contact information(& i think it has to do with how it works with HotMail as its only choice)!! For example, I have a person saved as "K", which just so happens to be the person I call and text most, the phone has shuffled their info with all info starting with the letter "K" Maybe more/less) so she has turned into "Karla", then "Karla Fant"... & now the phone is calling K "Park Kitchen" (a local restaurant I had saved the contact info for). That is not the only problem with that, sometimes I will go to call that person back under whatever name it has saved them as, and instead of dialing that number, it dials one of several different numbers that too have been switched to that profile !!!!! Also, imagine someone calling you @ 3am wondering while you called them, then arguing with them telling them that you don't know who they are and asking them their name (that they refuse to give assuming that you already know it) just so you can erase that contact info from your phone, that they wont give. ... Later realizing that it was probably your old supervisor when you worked for apple>>> WTF!!

  • You can return from win10 to win8.1 for free, from home, with just an internet connection and a PC. Download "Nokia Software Recovery Tool" and just plug in your phone..

  • I overcharged it last nite, what will happen? i love my 520 :(

  • Hard reset by turn off device > hard reset (google it), or use windows device recovery tools application (download from microsoft)

  • I am pretty satisfied with this cell, until it permanently struck in flight mode and doesn't turning off. I have tried hard reset and windows recovery tool, still no solution for this issue......is anybody out there having same problem and have the solution, please let me know 😉

  • i am also facing same problems but not like yours. most of problems can be avoided by reinstalling the software using recovery tool. but ie will crash with some heavy sites like windows central phone arena.. i can play asphalt in my phone but ie is crashing.

  • same here i also bought it almost 2 yrs and now i am irritated with it.

  • Yes I agree, at one point my Lumia 520 Internet started crashing and turning all the opened windows off... Sometimes I would have to restart Internet and search for the site again several times. I loved this phone up until now, and now I am getting a new one!

  • I had lumia but if install my simcard the feedback is this sim is only used in specific sim card: can u give me unlocking code

  • how can i unlock my lumia 520 phone

  • Had a Lumia 520 for almost 2 years. Loved it at first, but now I hate it. Why? Because: explorer crashed very often and exits; some (if not most) of the web pages should be read in 20 secs, or the screen goes white and it crashes; Skype looks like it's been created by someone else who hates Microsoft, because it's not working as it should (really, this is a Microsoft app on a Microsoft phone but it's worse compared to Android or iOS versions); some 5stars apps fail to update; software crashes and sudden resets that delete all mails & messages (unless you have auto-backup for messages, they're gone - but auto-backup often fails at 96%, so it's not efficient); auto backup fails; backup on command fails; email fails to update when set to do so (15mins, as an example); other email accounts (except for the regular gmail. yahoo, live etc) often crash and you have to uninstall, reinstall, curse, look for answers, wait for planet alignment and sacrifice a black chicken and the it works; the store allows some crazy apps (hearthstone logo and description for a game called Plants vs Zombies 2? Apps that offers free internet connection without using your internet connection or wi-fi?); memory gets so full sometimes (especially when explorer crashes) that all you can do is wait several secs to even lock/unlock the screen. Eventually, the phone died. He went off all of the sudden and then restarted, saying ERRROR: unable to find a bootable option. Lumia? Never again. WP? Never again.

  • i'm having lumia 520, the is i can not go to phone features, the screen displays .... try again in 1161129 minutes, pls help

  • lumia 520 is the best phone in its range. specially its touch and the camera , ya, it may be 5mp but it proves better den 8mp in any android phone. and the main thing is its battery , which runs for 2days 8hrs if you switch on the battery saver mode. and while surfing internet, it is the fastest , it runs on 3g speed even if you have a 2g plan. low maintenance, totally scratch proof screen , i mean you dont need to buy any screen guard. no lagging. you will never regret if you invest on it.

  • i am using lumia 520 for last 2years. it is incredibly fast. specially the touch and the camera which will leave your jaw dropped. i didnt buy any screen guard yet coz it has got a scratch proof screen, nd its true. the main thing is that it dont lag and you can surf internet in 3g speed even if you have a 2g plan. and the main thing which you will love is that it gives a battery back up of 2days 8hrs if you switch on the battery saver mode. i can bet that this is the best phone in its range.

  • go to settings..then u wil get the option about phone nd in that d optn is abt reset d phone

  • This phone is an absolute piece of shit, don't buy it. If its being given to you for free, throw against a wall, you will get more satisfaction from seeing smash into pieces than you will EVER get from the phone. Its slow, reboots when it feels like it, very limited appstore, it locked me out for 41585 minutes for no reason at all, it randomly drops calls and requires a bloody useless Live account just to do anything with the phone (other than calls, pictures, or texts) not to mention trying to sort out a live account is a hassle.

  • i have 30 mbps connection. while browsing ie is getting closed automatically. some sites are very slow. device is struggling with 512mb ram. not allowing to install firefox/chrome because of ms policy. dont know how to send a video file to another phone through bluetooth. while switching from window to window, it is refreshing ie pages itself, where am loosing all my typed data. still so many, could not remember immediately. simply saying hardware of this product is good but definitely not the software..

  • maan, where are you? check this,

  • what is the procedure do we need to follow?

  • i cannt download anything from the store app and also find it difficult for creating account

  • Its too slow with the generation. Now a days its not use full for all for the reason, Dual sim facility is not available.

  • I am quite sure changing your religion will not help.Just change your region instead.

  • yes.

  • you just jokey

  • Because Windows 10 mobile isn't officially out yet. Microsoft is expected to officially launch Windows 10 mobile soon, along with new Lumia's running the new OS.

  • one of the best phone in nokia history....

  • Still going strong!! This is a gem of a phone which is almost like Tyrion Lannister from Game of Thrones, tiny but the real star of the show. Bought it way back definitely 2+ years and still works like a charm (knock on wood). It has survived almost anything including a fall from a bus window on an asphalt road, an elevator shaft, splash of boiling water, etc. and has never let me down. Sure windows phone sucks but at least it doesn't lag and the hardware and build is what's best of Nokia (no thanks to Ballmer and Elop the morons). Cant wait for Nokia to get back in the mobile phone making business and hopefully they'll stick to Android this time around.

  • I am using windows 10 mobile build 10080 .....i am facing a serious problem with this build.....the phone memory is getting lower and lower day by day.....i checked my storage sense and it shows some 4 gb system files which is increasing everyday.....the apps and games section occupies less than a gb now as i have uninstalled nearly all apps to save memory.....uninstalling a app clears the phone memory a bit but after a hour it gets filled as again as if nothing has been installed....i tried updating it to newer build 3 times using airtel 3g (200-700kbps). .....the new update screen does not show gradual increase in update percentage ......it gets stuck at a fixed percentage even when net is running 500 kbps.....ultimately it shows error and download restarts.....to recover my phone memory i did a reset of my phone and the free memory increased by 3 gb but the update wont happen.....also the extras section of settings has disappeared after the reset.....also the temporary files shows about 500 mb and is increasing everyday.....clearing it doesnt work.......can anyone help me out?

  • Hi any one tell me how to upgrade lumia520 without WiFi or 3g network

  • Hi Lumia 520 users, Good news today !!! I have my Lumia 520 running in WINDOWS 10 MOBILE for the 2nd time installed in my unit. It seems there's no bugs at all, unlike before my first time installed was too slow in all applications when you open it and it crashes itself, many bugs encountered. Today I received an email from Aub Gaul (Microsoft Developer) I tried for the 2nd time to installed again. and the result was SUCCESS no more BUGS, Applications are OK now and I also like Cortana application. BUT -- > when I tried my ALL GAMES installed in my unit. I was very disappointed. Wohhooo Dude it crashes itself ( Flappy Bird ) !!! I tried another game ( DUNGEON HUNTER ) It crashes again DAMMN.!!! a 512MB memory can't hold Windows 10 Mobile. I should upgrade to 1GB memory and go to nokia center and avail for it if does.

  • It seems as if I am unable to upload a video to Facebook that I have dowloaded. Can I do that?

  • Plzz go to nearest nokia care center.,, and exchange da camera

  • Would you tell me..please other's Lumia phone name list Which is good for 3g network...😨

  • hi, as i research it seems that this Lumia520 isn't capable for 3g so it is really 2g that u can utilize with, much better if youre going to use your WiFi nearby.

  • Rather 535 or the 735 .... 640 isn't bad as well....

  • Folks....its a shame this great handset wouldn't be receiving all the features of the new win 10 update.... Jx started saving to grab either the lumia 735 or the 353 ... Cos of their 1 Gig ram.... Thanx lumia 520... U gave me my first real windows experience.... Still loves ma 520.... Mwaaahhh!!!

  • After update cayan ..all setting are ok but 3g not getting my 520 also other smartphone's like android phones are get better 3g in same area...what's the problem man..this is why...give me some idea..

  • I can open hotspot in my phone...& can nt connect web with my PC....pls help me..

  • If you love browsing and offline reading forget Nokia 520

  • Yes Windows 10 is available in your device when it will be officialialy available for mobile.But those who buy 512 Mb ram device will not going to enjoy all feature of Windows 10.All Lumia 512 Mb ram device have to compromise on Windows 10 because of its limitations.

  • For ,All Lumia buyer avoid to perchase 512 Mb ram device 1 Gb ram is available in the market.Main reason behind it,the 512 Mb ram device will not able to support all feature of Windows 10.So better to go for 1 Gb ram device instead of 512 Mb ram to enjoy all feature of Windows 10.

  • can i use windows 10 on nokia lumia 520

  • dude am also using 520 for last 2 yrs..... use uc browser to download videos n u can copy it to sd card... use ringtone maker app to make any mp3 as ur ringtone. also u need to put all ur songs in sd card/phone memory>music folder so that the music app can play it... use "files"( file manager app)for manipulating(copy,move,paste,...) ur media files also update ur device to wp 8.1 os(need wifi for os updations)... 2 days ago i updated ma 520 with w 10(os version 10.0.10149) and it works fine... its a low budget device .. 2 yrs ago 520s 5mp cam was the best low budget smartphone cam which can record 720p(hd) videos and can play full hd videos(use moliplayer)..

  • My Lumia 520 Dual Sim fell off the bed and because of which the battery came out and even its battery contact got damaged (or pins that are to get in line with the battery got damaged). Can it be fixed by the nokia care centre and if yes, then do inned to pay them if the cellphone is in its warranty period. ? Please help me as I am in lot of trouble.

  • I had the Nokia Lumia 520. Before then I was using a Blackberry. I couldn't download songs and games straight off the internet. I could only do it through the Play Store and that sucks. When I did try and download something, it would say download but it would just play as it was downloading and then if you want to see it again, you'll have to try and download it again so it's always taking of your data. I couldnt use any of the music I had on my memory card as a ringtone. The camera quality is so bad. I could never take pictures in a badly lit room at all. Best pictures need to be in the middle of the day in direct sunlight. The only good thing about the phone was the screen. I enjoyed Youtube but I suppose I could get that with any other phone on the market. Might as well get an ipad if I wanna watch movies. Not a good phone.

  • iam using samsung galaxy s4, and nokia lumia 520.both mobiles are different os sumsung running on android 4.4 . Nokia lumia running on windows 8.1 denim. In sumsung is expensive 24000 rupees, nokia lumia 520 is cheap price just on 7000 rupees. Always think high price mobile more comfortable but situation has changed nokia lumia 520 works smoother and no lags at playing games. So i said only nokia lumia 520 best than any android phones

  • Hey.. W10 is much better than w 8.1.. But the w10 which available via windows insider is non-tested version which contains bugs n it may harm ur device... So just wait for the official release..

  • Configure ur Microsoft account frst(like fb account) then u can install apps frm store... Settings >email+accouts>....

  • Dude ma 2 years old 520(512 mb ram) can play asphalt 8(1.4 gb size) with no lag. Can u name a 2 years old android device with 512mb ram which can do this. I bet u cant... This is windows dude.. Not lagdroid...

  • I forgett my microsoft account password please help me

  • plz lumia 520 support opera mini browser

  • good

  • You have my respect

  • Everything else is good in this phone,but,the display is just way too bad.too much pathetic.

  • incomplete without operamini. Does not permit the download of operamini. The internal browser consumes too much data. I mean too much data making it browsing unfriendly. That is bad for business.

  • 512mb ram is not sufficient with only 1ghz dual core processor. This phone is very slow.

  • dont update windows 10. windows 8.1 is better than windows 10

  • im using this phone more than 2 years and it's still going fine !!

  • very nice mobile i like this ............

  • Im using this mob since last 2yrs n its wrkn vry fine. Jst keep updatn all ur app & os n u wont face any problem with this mob.

  • my phone did not install any apopp

  • my lumia 520 is deleting my phonebook i don t know what can be the problem

  • You need restore your phone : Config - about - restore...

  • This phone was nice but many problem faced in that phone battery was poor

  • Download the files app from Microsoft corporation and then u can manage files from there.....i suggest u use uc browser for downoading and then all files are saved in the ucdownload folder of sd card

  • Me too had the problem 7 months back of error :unable to find boot option.....i had to get the hardware changed ultimately which cost me 2800 indian rupees.....rest of the problems i don't think i have ever seen or anyone else has seen and the power button problem is very rare.....seems like yours is a not a genuine phone

  • No Lumia 520 doesn't support handwriting features

  • Nokia no longer produces phones.......however give a try to nokia x,nokia x+ and nokia xl.....all are android phones and are excellent

  • Yeah thats true and it is always on the top part....its because all the sensors are placed there.....just remove the battery and see the sensors

  • See that you are logged in with your microsoft account in settings......you can also try sideloading apps from sd card

  • Go to the nearest service center and get it repaired....till then use the touch lock screen app

  • Anyways it is and old phone and better phones with better battery is available such as 535,640 in the same range....so i wont recommend this phone either

  • Considering the 1430mah battery which is too low as compared to today and 2 years back it was just supposed to run windows 8 (not even amber) considering the limited functions it had to perform it had an excellent backup......it is going to run windows 10 now.....launched at a time when 512 ram was enough ....today even 1gb ram is not enough....pick up a 2 year old Mobile and u will still find its battery backup better.......always keep the battery saver mode on and use black theme...automatic brightness on and switch off mobile data when not in use.....allow only necessary apps to consume data in background and always charge rhe the phone fully and charge it only when its low

  • Is there any one installed the windows phone 10 tech preview build 10136 in Lumia 520....please give feedback... Is it ok or not

  • i cant locate my hotspot on my lumia 520 since the last time i updated my OS from 8.0 to 8.1. i need help please

  • yes you can download it ... but you will face lags but they are too minor..

  • Tell me about asphalt 8 on lumia 520 , can i download it ? the performance , please i love this game so much and i want to buy lumia 520

  • not so good comparison to android many of the apps do not run smoothly and also the batry backup is poor in my opinion you should not waste your money i sold it out due lack of downloading options and its hanging reason my time the saved contact and data despair for mean while time ti regain it have to power off the device.

  • Much better phone than cheap androids, this is true value for money. Great product.

  • lumia 520 is best phone camra quality is supab..

  • This is not better than anroid mobile

  • best

  • This is the best mobile which I ever owned on my life never laggs like laggdroid but its battery is v bad it needs to be good other wise excellent

  • why is my phone producing a lot of heat?

  • This phone in particular is not very good. I have one, a few days after getting it you are likely to experience difficulties in trying to switch it on. you'll find that you'll have to tilt it to the right side to get any connection to switch on. One bump to the left side and your phone will switch off. leaving any work you had unsaved, this problem is caused by the fact that Nokia put a battery that does not fit perfectly into this phone. Secondly a few months later you will notice the power button/shutter will stop working, this is caused by nokia using an incorrect material which wears off as time goes on, anyways a way to fix that is by inserting foil paper under the motherboard to support the power button. lastly after having this phone for about a year. one day it will just switch off and have this message on the screen :ERROR- unable to find a bootable option , press any key to shut down.At this stage your phone is completely irreparable , all your music images contacts videos and other personal data is gone. You could be lucky to find that its occurred whilst you are in your warranty but usually thats not the case, feel free to Google search how common the problems i have experienced are and you are free to make a decision from that. But i can tell you, the above mentioned problems are very very common.

  • Are there features in Lumia 520 for inputing handwriting chinese? Or I need to download special program?

  • Nokia should launch a android version.many people like nokia in india but because of windows its getting back.it should launch a android kitkat then only people will love it and it will become more popular

  • Hmmm i don't understand why my lumia 520 produces a lot of heat.

  • I can't install apps from store whenever i use to install its written there has been problems while requesting..

  • When ever i use to install application from my Nokia lumia520 store... it always shows there has been problems with request.. help me to install apps from store

  • Disgustingly it is very difficult to use and it's features is also not so excellent

  • Best selling windows phone ever, great device.

  • My lumia 520 didn't get battery back up and lock screen switch Is not working. PLZ any one reply me hw i can clear thz

  • The phone is really an good one, but the battery backup is really worst. one who is looking for a phone with a better battery life, this phone is not at all will become a good selection.

  • de bst evr smrt phn ..... 520 z de avrage selling window s phn de hrd ware zzz bossom.......

  • This one is the best!!! I have used it for 1 1/2 years and it's the best phone with the best features. Camera is incredible and the hardware condition is awesome. It has a giant battery too. Soo I would Like to recommend this phone as a best budget phone.

  • I have used the phone last 10 months, But the hand set has a major problem that is Auto operated. the keypad has auto operated and the call connected automatically. Also so many times phone has hanged, I have asked to service center, But they have updated the software but no idea about the problem. And finally I have left the phone.

  • it supports candy crush game

  • best phone ever, I've been using this phone for about 18 months, believe it or not, I never experienced any sort of unresponsiveness or the other things I used to struggle with in my ANDROID galaxy s-4 octa every single second; because of the perfectly and neatly designed windows phone. And I never have had any sort of connection problems because I know English and have got the ability to READ, my friends; so I suggest you'd better go improve your English, dude.

  • I fully agree with u.. #prabhushakti

  • You're wrong about Nokia Lumia 520 cause its somehow an old phone but right about the operating system, windows phone.

  • WiFi not working! What does it say? What's your operating system version? Is it in range? Are you using the right passwords? Can you connect your laptop or other phones ?

  • VLC, Moliplayer, Cc player etc.

  • Go to people -settings -filter contact list.

  • A little more description of your problem.

  • I've been using it for more than two years, and I didn't care about Android or IPhone but Nokia not even some Microsoft's windows phone os. From the beginning I was dissatisfied by the operating system and its limitations. Nokia somehow managed because it has its own maps, music station, amazing applications especially camera apps. I should focus on cellphone rather than the operating system. The hardware is always the best because its nokia. Never broke even it fell down many times never broke up even my friend's Motorola which has gorilla glass but it doesn't. I think its better to use a screen guard. Back panel is cool although two switches are broken (lock and volume down), it still works because of the double tap and an app from the store. Ram is 512mb! Wasn't bad in that times and still is great, I play halo 3, Sims 4, asphalt 5, angry birds, more than 60 apps installed once on a class 4 memory card. Works fine. No lagging just a little slow like to open multi-windows. Processor is great, isn't great comparing to today's cellphones, just 1ghz dual core snapdragon. I can't see the necessity of more cores. Camera was best in class when I bought it, 720pHD videos automatically gets uploaded to SkyDrive(now OneDrive). I don't think there's any better camera with 5mp is available on the market, unless its a Nokia. Sometimes, I feel bad it doesn't have a secondary to do Skype calls, but fine. I use it kinda 24x7 cause if you're a Sims lover, or age of empire. Noise reduction technology, exclusive lens, beautiful design, air touch like screen, nice battery back up and a brand from Nokia let's you feel a prestigious cellphone without any hassle.

  • Very good phone b

  • what can i do i take a picture and it immediately turns blank?

  • I think that Nokia Lumia 520 is considering its price the best mobile one can get For a year and half using this mobile I feel happy to have

  • Why would Windows Phone support Google? To anyone making that complaint, you do realize that Google and Microsoft are competitors, right? That's like complaining that Chevy doesn't allow you to have them install a Ford engine from the factory, or that Android (Google) doesn't allow you to use iOS apps. Get real.

  • reset your phone to all data is remove and no back up contact and massages

  • thanks datutter and praveen for your advise

  • Its because youtube had changed the interface recently which disallowed apps from downloading videos...... However an update came yesterday for uc browser fixing all the issues

  • Its because they did a hard reset to your phone,....... Just login using your Microsoft account and you will get back your contacts and messages back

  • Can you tell me how much mb of data is required for this 10080 bulid if i am updating from 10052 build

  • Its because there is no update available for the phone right now

  • I dont think so, u ever used a wp? first of all its the safest os & if apps come in wo store after a year also.. Its reliable & mostly bug free...

  • Agreed pal...

  • Same is here dude... #Duke

  • Don't ever try to install Windows 10 until officially it released....because it will damage your phone hardware...

  • Automatic call going

  • Well designed phone but am unable to update my software.

  • Still the King among budget phones, if you're looking for a cheap smartphone which is reliable and well build, don't look further. Just buy the Lumia 520.

  • Bugs are available even now on build 10080

  • I have had my lumia 520 for the last 1year.recently it had a problem with its screen so after repair I had to hard reset and upgrade it to windows 8.1 HOWEVER, my phone has become a demo phone behaving like those phones on display, deleting my contacts and photos. it has become a nuisance. please help [email protected]

  • Sir please make sure that your screen protector does not cover your phone's light sensar (just the right of NOKIA logo).One of the work of the sensor is when you are calling and your phone is near to your ears the screen automatically became black. and fir information ni other company gives you that kind of sensor in a range of 25000.

  • Im installing WP 10 PREW now, so i will get back in a few days with some info about how i think it works on lumia 520 :)

  • Bought it 2 Years Back, After Several Updates, This phone is hell very slow. Very Slow Response on opening Applications. Many times it just throws you out on home screen while opening inbuilt e-mail application and whatsapp. this phone is dead-ow..

  • Very funny... Discussing ios android and bb10 and still cant spend 50$ for a Lumia..seems like you on special campaign against lumia

  • Hehehe my 8k salary driver and my aaya had android. They share videos over zapya. Thanks you also have one

  • My Introduction to windows phones. Just handed over to my bro last month but still missing its camera key and Super sensitive touch... I told him take care of it.. Because its not a mobile its LUMIA

  • Please any one help ....my lumia 520 is not showing denim upate in phone update menu i reset my fevice many times both hard and soft reset but ...again not showing denim update only showing your phone is up to date i am cureently on windows 8.1 cyan ....how i can get lumia denim update

  • No it returns to cyan first ....then returns to denim after normal restart of phone....then update all items... In store to get denim....i have done it...

  • Dude u really using a wp?? I have a google account, youtube, play and download all youtube videos!! Dude u have misled users & admirers....!!

  • Not sure but I doubt it, cause when you reset to factory settings it deletes all the data, not sure if it also deletes the updates done after you bought the phone... I have never done it.

  • Nonsense, blame the App Developers man!!!! not WIndows!!! app developers just don't develop for WP at all, cause they are lame and lazy, they don't care. So blame them, every WP user knows what. It is safe to buy a WP based Phone cause the OS is the best. In Europe android has lost market share and WP has gained again, cause more and more people notice that WP just is better. So app developers need to develop for this OS as well, and get off their lazy a.... and pay attention to this OS.

  • hi friends i am going to reset my device. I am using my lumia 520 with denim update please tell me that if i reset my device will i come back to lumia black ?

  • Exactly the windows are the lamest mobiles in the world. In spite the music and games, nothing is interactive in the device. All its model have common no use apps; which can be used only with the access to Internet or have to subscribe for a separate account. Thats really annoying. Pls don ever go for a lumia model. I have one and planning to sell the same for free of cost. Though have WhatsApp in it, with no use of it. Have no common Apps comparing to Android, IOS and Blackberry. Doesn't support Youtube, or any relevance apps related to Google.

  • Use a ringingtone maker app

  • Most horrible phones on earth are lumias pls don't buy no any common apps in store which simply available in android or IOS.and now blackberry supported android apps so its have too. But you can't do anything in Windows.every app first land to ios next android but you are not sure about Windows. Every app land in store after a year and more so why i love to windows.... Any reasonable answer

  • I have the following issues with my Nokia Lumia 520: firstly,I can't use my favorite songs as ringtones, or is there any other way? secondly,I am failing to attach documents whenever am using email facility,how can I solve this problem? My phone is two months old and I don't want to dump it.please help.

  • my phones wifi is not working plz tell me what to do its connecting to any network

  • 2 years on now being used as a secondary phone.still running strong !!! IF Windowsphone is popular in at least certain parts of the world it owes much of its popularity to this phone. 520 rox!

  • a very special tupe windows phone

  • that's supper phon for use

  • one of the best phones people should buy it, no regret when you buy. Good performance, good OS. Solid phone.

  • Connecting your phone to a pc using a data cable will not show the maps in SD card.....you need to put the SD card in a different card reader and then connect it to a pc.... Next find the maps folder and delete it

  • This is an hardware issue....it cannot be made available using a software update..... So no reason to request for it now

  • Tnx brotha,prob solved,me a happy chappy now

  • very good

  • Boss u must be having a screen guard covering the light sensor next(right) to the nokia....located @ mid top of phone....kindly uncover and free those sensors.... this wld get it solved!!

  • I got my Nokia Lumia 520 as a gift,round about 2 months ago,wht I don't understand,when I make a call or answering 1,the screen goes black,can't end the call or rather can't see where the end call button is,now I wants 2 know if its a setting that needs 2 be correctify or wht could be tha prob in this matter

  • How can I delete that maps stored in SD-card...?? As it is of no use now... I don't want to format my SD-card....

  • Excellent mobile. I am using it since last 1.5 years. There is no problem in it. It is smooth fast . It is far better than android. I used 2 android mobiles like s4 mini and spice steller but window phone is the best. I love window mobiles.

  • Plz update lumia with equilizer

  • Kindly make It clear whether your phone is switching off or the sim card

  • I suggest you to check the size of the app in storage sense.........if its too big then uninstall the app.....have the message database backed up and then download the xap file from the website using uc browser in speed mode..... Whenever the size of the app goes too big uninstall and reinstall the app.....keep clearing the media files from the WhatsApp app as in windows phone two copies of all media files are made one in phone memory and the other one in memory card.... This will surely make the app faster

  • Nokia care will return your phone with the latest update available for your phone which is denim

  • and tell me one thing also that if i submit my mobile in nokia care then they will give me it back with denim update or not.

  • thanks for your reply but i am using san disk class 10 16 GB but still its hanging two or three times in a day for example when i am in whatsapp and press home key (start key) its showing "loading" for 15-20 and then "resuming" for 10-15 seconds please tell me what to do and also i have 17 app updates remaining in the store bur i dont think that this is happening because of that updates.

  • I bought a lumia at one of the Nokia shops in Kenya and when I started using it, I discovered that whenever its idol it switches off, I was told its because of the software updating which i did but still experiences the same problem. I took it to Nokia center in Nairobi which the dint sort the problem. I kindly need the assistance because I like the phone and all its features. Kindly assist with this problem of switching off the simcard whenever it is idol.

  • U cannot share apps one installed but u can share or receive (over wifi only by using easy transfer or wifi file sharer app) apps downloaded by uc browser(visit windowsphone.com in speed mode and download using the option forgot and install manually),the app will appear in the ucdownload folder and then can be sent using the above mentioned apps or even uc browser

  • No there is no way,i think u stored the map on sd card using the storage check app (separate one) as this function is not available in the storage check present under settings section....u should have understood that if microsoft has removed a option it won't work perfectly... Nothing can be done now

  • Snapchat is unavailable for windows,all the third party clients were closed by snapchat recently....so u cant help it now..... Anyways who uses snapchat in a world where 100 million users use whatsapp

  • This phone is going to turn just like android after windows 10, just wait and watch, the whole use interface is changing similar to android and then It will be easier for developers to make apps for windows,.......as far as sharing is concerned try easy transfer,wifi file sharer,or share it app for fast WiFi transferring of funds

  • I am using this phone for 2 years and i am sorry to say that you cannot get ur apps back one u reset it.I don't find a phone working slow a problem. Just don't install ur apps in sd card (if its of class 4)..... Make sure that atleast 1gb of free space is always there in the phone memory...... Keep updating ur apps and your software.....resetting is a temporary solution as ur phone will start getting slow again with time

  • hi friends, i am going to submit my mobile in nokia care because its getting slow and i know that they will reset my phone can you tell me can i get my apps back which are stored in sd card or that will erase..

  • I am using Lumia 520 from last 7 months but now I am getting bored because there is no features like WhatsApp, messenger, line and others like android and we also can't send files with others because of not having xender or other sharing app At least give us a updates in WhatsApp, line so we can earn coins plzz...i know this is windows phone but if u continue this than no one will buy windows phone so please do immediately what I told you

Few days back I reset my phone, the problem is that when I open my maps it don't shows any maps there now. I didn't format my SD-crad. In storage sense the maps section in SD-card still occupying the same space as it was earlier when I didn't reset my phone... It's asking me to again download my same regional map... Is there any option I can recover that map.. My handset is Lumia 520. Thanks

  • I used Nokia Lumia 520 for 1year and now no more Lumias bcoz of there is not mostly common apps like xender app for file sharing.and instagram officialy and lots of apps not there.

  • Nokia 520 mine had a fault and the mobile chap said any problems to bring it back. Bought at Stocklands ! When I took it back he said I was using it wrong,and I was not using it wrong. It had a soft ware glitz and was using all my credit. Once bitten twice shy. Good luck

  • good phone but lack of file manager is one drawback. i cant recieve and install apps from other phones. anyone with solutions?

  • Windows 10 technical preview is available for all lumias except windows 7.8. So i don't find any reason why windows 10 will not be available for all devices

  • You should use the files app from Microsoft corporation. For transferring via wifi use easy transfer,wifi file sharer or share it

  • Plz suggest me how to input word in mgs suggestion dictionary

  • First on the Bluetooth then go to options

  • 6tag is indeed much better. At least this developer does make some nice apps for WP. The bigger companies just ignore WP, but they will regret it sooner or later, oh they will.

  • Windows 10 is "technical preview" not "preview for developers". And of course it has bugs, its not finished product. It is meant for people who are willing to be part of development of OS and provide quality feedback and not for regular users...

  • Use Lumia recovery tool from your PC. Its free,only you need internet connection about 2GB of data

  • Not true....first turn on bluetooth....pair d desired phone...come bak to file....long press....select share....then choose the phone in the list options....simple!!

  • Are you kidding me? You can send files to almost any phone.

  • No, update is getting released tmrrw at 11:30 pm ist, for all devices except Lumia 930/icon.

  • 1) Cyan back cover looks very good. Buy it. 2) Yes, those rumours are true. But upgrade is worth it for all the functionality u get. 3) If your power button isn't working, install 'Touch Lock' app. Very responsive but is not transparent and you get only one red tile.

  • Thank you for the information. it's now working again

  • 1-turn off your device 2-hold the volume key down+power key 3-when the phone turns on release the power key only and wait until you see an Exclamation mark then release the volume key 4-press volume key up then volume key down then power key then volume key down.this will format you device to the factory default and removes the password.but remember to back up you data first

  • master reset your phone.. google it for the procedure.

  • I think yes i heard about that in Lumia denim update comes with equalizer

  • I like this little phone. It was an awesome deal for the price and I got a decent prepaid plan from Rogers for about $100 for a YEAR of service. I bought this phone because my very expensive Galaxy Note II was in the shop more than it was in my pocket. They wanted $200 deposit for a loaner every time that it went in. I just used this instead and suspended my service with Bell while the Note was in the shop. It paid for itself after 2 months. I can't recommend buying this phone now. Get an unlocked 635 from the Microsoft store. Nokia's have always been awesome phones. I'm so sorry to see the brand disappear. This cheap little phone was so much more reliable than my Note II.

  • Great phone but very bad ð��� gaming platform..no clash of clans no pet rescue saga and much more like android...it's very good for office work....

  • my contact always saves on phone not sim why

  • i dont think so..plz check settings

  • Ridiculous, it's not true. This 5mp camera is very reasonable and the Lumia camera app works very well. It even records 720p video. The 520 is a good buy. No, as the review title says, best buy.

  • Mtn 10 Mb data is not working on it. tell me how to browse using Data

  • Love this phone. Best budget phone I've ever owned by far. Does everything it's meant to do. Very simple and easy to use. Camera it good.never ever lags. I also own a android device, I prefer windows 8.1. Much simpler. Lumia Is the best

  • Somedays after updating to black my lumia is having problem with battery estimation and utilization.The phones battery is draining so quickly.any solution for that?

  • yes discussing about buying a phone which is over two years old!, come on people there are new Lumias in market

  • hay man there is many other features in this SMART PHONE i think windows phone is better than android atleast it never lags like androids. And camara of this phone is give more average than 5 mp and this mobile support full hd games like asphalt 8/six guns and many others on only 512 mb ram there is no one adroid which run these games on 512 mb....so i think its a GREAT SMART PHONE.

  • 1. there are voice recorders 2. you can see contact details 3. you can set ringtones if you know how 4. it depends on person's choice 5. how you see the file if its unsupported?

  • No, but you can use wifi or bluetooth in internet sharing

  • This is by far the worst phone I have EVER owned!!! 10X worse than a damn BlackBerry. After a year of having the phone and constantly fighting with it, it just freezes on every app. Unable to use whatsapp as a result of its slowness, snapchat not available, minimal storage capacity, NO FRONT CAMERA(WHAT SMARTPHONE DOESN'T HAVE THAT?). I understand if you buy it because it's cheap, but this phone will only bring more frustration than anything else. Windows and Nokia have truly failed. DO NOT BUY IT. THIS IS NOT A SMARTPHONE.
