some demanding game requires 1gb, so the choice is obvious as it is cheaper too.

Demanding games such as asphalt8 , modern combat, nnova run better on a Lumia 525.
Reduced resuming screen when switching applications

Getting any androids game is no issue.

I personally fell that, nokia is best smartphone nowadays. Now nokia x provide android operating system whereas nokia 520 use windows phone 8.

Nokia is finally back with the bang, with the WP8.0, lets how see Android rolls. As people already said, Nokia x has a outdated configuration at this point of time.

OS doesn't matters when the hardware is cr@p in Nokia X.

go for Xperia E1 ... if you can ignore camera then Xperia E1 >>>>>>> Lumia 520/Nokia X/ i would rate it above lumia 525 as well due to large selection of apps and games.customization,tweaks,mods ..


it will get Android 4.4 kitkat officially and 512 mb ram will seem plenty with fast and snappy performance

for those who don't know Android 4.4 reduces the amount of RAM usage significantly and is optimized Specially for phones having 512 mb Ram and the available free ram has been increased significantly allowing you to do general multitasking ( not heavy ) even on 512 mb ram devices smoothly which was not possible in android 4.3,4.2 and 4.1 that is why 1gb ram was recommended as minimum for them.. but with 4.4 , 512 mb ram is not a major problem anymore. its sufficient . read more here

*readwrite.com/2013/11/25/how-google-shrunk-android-for-version-44-kitkat..

+ It is an exceptional music device

here is the review .. it's awesome value for money at 7.4k..

*www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_e1-review-1066.php

don't go for Nokia X,, lumia 520 was great but then there were no choices in android , now xperia E1 is there no need to make compromise on apps,customization with WP.. 525 is ok with wp 8.1 those who want better camera

- - - Updated - - -



it will get full windows phone 8.1 ..

the reason 7.5 devices were not updated to 8 was because of different kernel .. 7.5 had win 95 kerenel, and single core CPU .. wp8 had windows 8 kernel
windows phone 8.1 and windows phone 8 are same at core ,, difference is that they have enabled more features and added voice assistant and few other things which frankly all users were expecting already in Wp 8 so they are already very late

this is what windows phone 8 should have been then nokia could have survived

and besides lumia 520 owns 35 % market share for windows phone, only this model was able to save some market share for microsoft otherwise, windows phone has been a complete failure in mid and high end phones.. who would be mad enough not to support this device.. i bet it will get wp 8.2 as well..

what rubbish , which year are you in?

- - - Updated - - -

nope not anymore with Xperia E1 + kitkat ..

some benchmark scores

antutu - 13,000 , Xperia M/L - 10k
Quadrant -5500 , Xperia M/L - 4200

Gpu Performance is same as Adreno 305 ( all high end games will run smooth as on screen performance is better than moto G , grand 2 , Htc one mini etc.. )

CPU Performance is better than Cortex A9( Better than Galaxy MEga 5.8 , and is not too far behind beating HTC one X, lg optimus 4x HD which are flagship phones of 2012 .. )

Smooth optimized UI


Finally 2014 marks the death of cortex A5 under 10k

specs on paper dont matter, real world performance does
try playing games without lag on that E1 of urs

- - - Updated - - -

Thanks for all the suggestions. It is going to be 520 or E1. One more concern i had is , i will be dropping my phone frequently. I am a little clumsy. So which phone will have better protection. I know that Nokia has tough build quality but i read somewhere that these nokia phones break more frequently than galaxy phones on drop due to high impact owing to larger weight. I want some real life experience of members who have dropped their phones 5-10 times atleast

ive dropped my 720 and 820 many times, better quality than samesung

 

[Pasapa]

I dropped my 620 the day i bought it and at least 10 more times in the 1 year i have owned it. Apart from a few scratches that are barely noticeable it works great.

did u know android is a huuge resource hog compared to any other os
ur statement is like saying a truck has a bigger engine and more space than a ferrari so it must be better
get a windows phone then comment negative about it instead of putting something down like that
specs dont matter
even 512mb ram windows phones dont lag whereas even if u buy an S5 it will lag next month onwards,trust me
dont mislead by showing specs on paper, os also matters
fyi wp8.1 has alot of customisation options and doesnt need those lame launchers or tweaks

Can I get those games for free for Winnows phone or must have to pay ?
Getting any androids game is no issue.

Seeing your requirements, android is more suitable for you..
I too recommend Xperia E1..
If you dont need games and all.. then get Nokia 525..
Im not saying you should pirate apps and stuff but android provides this option as well as tonnes of ad supported FREE and Legit apps, Windows does not.. Even angry birds in windows costs money

need i say more?
im tired of androidheads here, android isnt the world there are many other os's which are just as good

 

[Flash]

Cool down, guys.
Every OS has its own perks.

It's upto the user to select, what's his/her taste upto..

Yea,I think too.
This is only for Games,Photo & Multimedia.
There will be no net so no app required cos app without net that's not possible.

ofcourse there would be paid version of angry birds but there are ad supported free versions as well.. My point is, you have a CHOICE to go for the version you like..There are very few such CHOICES for Windows phone.. Do you not understand simple english ? Stop misleading people with your statements, ive seen many of my friends go for a windows phone failing to realise that there is no way to get apps for free.. They are college students without a credit card so basically its GG for them as there is no other way to get apps.. Tell me then, what is the purpose of a smartphone if you cant get apps for it ?OP is in a similar situation.. so please stop your fanboy rant ..
I already said if OP doesnt want games and stuff he can go for L525 without hesitation, just because you own a windows phone, dont make others ignore it's flaws..
