Nokia Lumia 520 India Launch Soon

Nokia's going bullish on the Lumia brand in the Indian markets and the latest Lumia 520 is expected to launch in India in the next few days. The phone was announced by Nokia at the Mobile World Congress in February this year and the budget cautious people would love to know that this is the cheapest Windows 8 powered phone available. However there is no official word on the price of the phone yet.


Here's a quick overview of the hardware specs -

1. Dimensions: 119.9 x 64 x9.9 mm
2. Weight: 124 grams
3. Display: 4-inch WVGA, 235 ppi
4. Processor: 1GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Play
5. RAM: 512 MB
6. Camera Rear: 5MP
7. Storage: 8GB inbuilt, extensible through microSD card.
8. USB 2.0
9. Bluetooth 3.0
10. Wireless: WLAN IEEE 802.11 b/g/n
11. Battery: 1430 mAh

The specifications of the phone are almost in sync with what you'll find on most entry-level smartphones. There's no NFC, if that matters to you. Windows phone marketplace is growing rapidly with most popular applications on Android and iOS already available on Windows platform.
The price of the phone is expected to be about Rs. 10,000 in India. I believe Lumia 520 would be a great phone to buy for that price. What do you think?
