On the red corner, we have the Nokia Lumia 520; on the blue corner, we have the Huawei Ascend W1 – both WP8 devices that sell for less than Php10k. Today, we put them in the spec stadium to see which device gives a better bang for the buck.
The Nokia Lumia 520 sells in for Php7,990 while the Huawei Ascend W1 goes for a higher Php8,990. That’s an exact Php1,000 difference. If you look at the chart down below, you can see that both have slight similarities and major differences.
The major categories in which the Nokia Lumia 520 trumps the Huawei Ascend W1 is in memory as it gives you double with 8GB of internal and up to 64GB of external. Also, it’s slightly thinner & lighter. Â However, for an extra thousand, the Huawei Ascend W1 gives you a faster CPU, an LED flash, a front-facing camera and a bigger battery.
Which of the two will be getting your bet? We have yet to review these devices, so stay tuned as real world performance is greatly different from just specs.
Lumia 520 pinili ko at nakabili na ako :)
-Maganda ang 1.2Ghz dual core processor pero limited lang ang apps para sa 512mb na ram.
-Ok din kung may front camera kung magagamit mo. Karaniwan para sa sarili ko di ko naman nagagamit ang front cam kahit pa sa iphone ko. Ang flash naman useless para sa akin dahil malabo parin ang image kapag dim ang environment.
-ang internal memory mas mataas mas maganda.
nokia for me, no doubt. the nokia brand is known for their quality phones for the long time. I think lumia 520 kills all it’s opposing brand in the low range smartphones. If your really for the cam/front cam, go for it’s big brother, lumia 720 as it is have carl zeiss 6.7mp cam and a bigger 2000mah battery for just an additional of around 3000. Such an awesome device nokia had produced. I’m planning to buy 520 next month. thanks for the awesome product nokia.
