The Lumia 520 get’s 8GB of on-board storage which can be expanded by up to 64GB using a micro-SD card. The smartphone comes with a 5 megapixel rear camera, but one big downside of the Nokia Lumia 520 is that it misses out on a front facing camera and thus, fails to utilize the tight  Skype integration on Windows Phone 8. The smartphone comes with a 1,430mAh battery and might as well have a hard time to get through a full day’s usage.
To make the deal more lucrative for buyers, Nokia has announced that the buyers of Nokia Lumia 520 will get 1GB of free 3G data for two month on Rcom’s network whereas the buyers of Nokia Lumia 720 will get 2GB of free 3G data for two months on Idea Cellular.
