That’s only when it comes to price, though, not features. As CNET UK discovered while fully reviewing the Lumia 520, Nokia has managed to create a very inexpensive handset that will sell in the U.K. for about 100 pounds at full retail price.
In U.S. currency, that translates to just under $200 without a contract. Luckily for us Yankees, a variant of this 520 is coming to T-Mobile in May, off-contract, as the Nokia Lumia 521.
Here’s what you’ll find on the Lumia 520: a 4-inch screen with 800×480-pixel resolution, the same you find on the higher-priced Lumia 720 and 820, as well as a 5-megapixel camera and a 1GHz dual-core processor, again just like the Lumia 720.
As with the Lumia 620, you’ll be able to change the back cover to a variety of color choices.
Get all the details of the phone’s strengths and weaknesses, and take a photo tour in this full Nokia Lumia 520 review.
