Before the release of the Nokia X, Lumia 520 was really popular when it came to buying a phone below 10k because basically no one had any choice! But after the release of the Nokia X, the game was changed and customers started to confuse between these two! So let us find which one is the best when it comes to low end in this head to head comparison!
DESIGN
One of the high points of the Nokia Lumia 520 is the design. That's a hallmark of Nokia's Windows Phones: the entire range is interesting to look at, nice to hold and isn't afraid to use colour.
A unibody design in a range of bright colours is status quo at Nokia at the moment and the Nokia X trio are almost identical to the firm's latest range of Asha smartphones.
DISPLAY
The display on both the devices as you would expect is average and not that great to be frank!
The Nokia X rocks a IPS LCD 480 x 800 pixels, 4.0 inches (~233 ppi pixel density) display which is okay i would say indoors and you would feel a little left out outdoors!
On the other hand, The lumia 520 also has the same screen that is IPS LCD 480 x 800 pixels, 4.0 inches (~233 ppi pixel density) that is basically the same in every aspect!
The Edge here actually goes to the Nokia lumia 520 and i will tell why, it is because the lumia 520 supports multitouch while the Nokia X supports only two fingers at a time that is really annoying while playing games like fruit ninja or any other that requires multitouch!
STORAGE
Nokia X has a 4gb internal memory that is expendable to 32gb via micro SD card while the lumia 520 includes a 8gb internal memory that is expendable to 64gb via micro SD card!
So the Nokia lumia 520 wins here too with twice storage as the nokia x!
SOFTWARE
Software is i think is the only area where people are most confused as these two are really different in the software side!
The Nokia X comes with android 4.1.2 operating system and on top of that Nokia's highly customized skin that is the mixture of windows phone live tiles and Asha OS fastlane! The skin Nokia is not that great as you can't multitask and is a little sluggish! The Skin on Nokia X requires a lot of power to run perfectly and i think Nokia XL will do much more good in this field! Nokia X as i used lags and takes a couple of seconds to open applications!
The Nokia Lumia 520 runs windows phone 8 which will be updated to windows phone 8.1! The Lumia 520 runs much more smoother than the nokia x in day to day usage! As I have always said, windows phone requires very little processing and hence will run lag free on low end devices!
So I would go with the Nokia lumia 520 here too as it is much more soothing to use it than nokia X!
Windows phone has now almost 250000 apps that is incredible as i see it but if you really want android, then go for nokia x!
PERFORMANCE
Nokia X runs on Qualcomm MSM8225 Snapdragon S4 Play that is Dual-core 1 GHz Cortex-A5 assisted with 512 RAM and Adreno 203! As you would think after these specs that these are not the specs that are required for android but Nokia X is not that bad when you use it! It is decent and runs okay if you are not a heavy user!
The Nokia lumia 520 surprising runs on Qualcomm MSM8227 1ghz dual core assisted with 512 RAM and Adreno 305 that is slightly better than the nokia x!
So better processor and lighter operating system! You know the winner, lumia 520! Nokia X is little bit less faster than the lumia 520 and multi tasking! Opening and closing of applications is better on the lumia 520!
CAMERA
Nokia Lumia 520 has a 5mp autofocus that is capable of recording videos up to 720p!
The nokia x rocks a 3mp manual focus camera that is capable of recording videos up to 480p!
The camera quality is way better on the nokia lumia 520! Both the cameras lag a secondary camera and flash!
The camera app is also better on the nokia lumia 520 with the nokia camera that lets control your phone's camera in a lot professional way than the nokia x!
BATTERY LIFE
Battery life has been always a strong point in the low end devices of nokia and these two are no exceptions!
The nokia lumia 520 consists of a remomable 1430 mAH battery that capable of giving you a full day on heavy usage!
While the Nokia X has a 1500mAh that is sightly better than the Lumia 520 in day to day usage!
So finally nokia x wins in the battery life! There is not much of a difference but still the nokia x is better!
TO SUM UP..
The Nokia lumia 520 as you read is better in every aspect except the battery life! So I would go with nokia lumia 520 because i don't really lags in day to day usage and it is 1K cheaper too but if you really want android apps, then go for the nokia x or wait for the nokia xl! Because you are not really going to like when your phone will be slow!

Naturally the Lumia 520 isn't quite as sophisticated in design as the other models higher up the range. There's no beautifully curved edge to the display or unibody design, but even at this budget end of the Lumia line, it feels nice to hold and of good build quality.
A unibody design in a range of bright colours is status quo at Nokia at the moment and the Nokia X trio are almost identical to the firm's latest range of Asha smartphones.
We can't really complaint in design given the price and what nokia is offering! But when we have to choose a winner, i would go with the lumia 520 with much more premium feel!
