Nokia Lumia 525 vs Lumia 520: What's the Difference?

Nokia's cheapest Windows 8 Phone: the Lumia 520, continues to sell in large number despite its not so aspiring specifications. Launched earlier this year, the Nokia Lumia 520 is the best selling Windows device, selling more units than any other Windows machine.

Comparing it with Lumia 525, both devices have similar styled specifications and features. But the biggest highlight of the Lumia 525 is the addition of 1GB RAM and 8GB of internal memory. In context to the Indian market, where domestic handset makers are already selling dual-core phones powered by Android under Rs. 7,000; Nokia need to rethink the pricing of Lumia 525 to garner better response.
