Both are excellent phones. Depends on your OS preference.

Re: Mobile Buying Guide

as AlphaQ said, OS is the main difference. having used both WP8 & Android, you won't miss anything with WP and 520's camera outperforms most android mobiles under 15k, even without flash.

Might want to wait and see what Nokia announces today.They are due to announce a few new devices including a refresh of the L520 so i suggest you wait and see before buying.

1520 and most likely 525. 525 will take time and won't be dirt cheap like 520.

2520 runs on Windows RT. Samsung and Asus already dumped this OS. no hope.

1320 for 339$. if it lands here, should be priced just below 625. hope Nokia doesn't discontinue 920 in favor of 1320. expecting a big pricecut on 625 anytime now. and this time they didn't compromise on the display like they did with 625.

Re: Mobile Buying Guide

^1320 price won't be less than 21-22k. Is it worth so much considering its camera performance isn't stellar?

those who want a phablet don't really care about camera performance till it clicks proper images. there are not many 6" phones and even less number of peoples who want a massive 6" phone. 5" is considered massive, 6" is only for selected ones who think 5" is "small". but 1320 has a sensor slightly smaller than more camera focused phones and because it'll come with next revision of WP8, camera quality should improve further. they should have made 1320 a little bit more pocket friendly with 5" screen while retaining the same resolution display.

under 15k, this mobile is hard to beat. Gionee Elife E5 has similar hardware but bumps the internal memory to 16GB and cost 2k more. Else Sony Xperia L.

Xolo Q900 is also nice and has a smaller screen at 4.7 inch while other specs match Magnus

Also cheaper at 13k
