what is the L520 display like ?

^^^ agreed! The one on 620 is brighter and better and has clear black display. 520 is a bit dull(colors) in comparison but it will be better than 620 in battery life.

Today I held a 520 next to my phone (htc EVO 3D) the lumia was noticeably more vibrant and brightness was about the same though clarity was a little worse but you really have to look to notice. (test was done buy viewing the same photo on both phones next to each other (sent 2 photos buy blue tooth as test samples)

Then I went to look at a L925 and I felt that the colours in the photo were far to over saturated and didn't look natural. But boy does it make the home screen look good.

Conclusion: the Lumia 520 display is perfect for MY needs. I was just disappointed about the blue tooth, you have to switch the blue tooth on before clicking share on the image, otherwise it doesn't show blue tooth as an option to send by. If you are wondering, you click share on android, select blue tooth and the phone will ask you if you want to turn on blue tooth, click yes and you done.

Note: I had to go to cellc to find a 520 with battery life in it as none of the normal tech shops had a charged model.

If you are looking for a cheap & fast WP8 device go for Lumia 525 (almost as cheap as 520 with 1GB ram for more speed)
If you are looking for a cheap yet better screen go for Lumia 625.

The 525 isn't available in my country. www.mybroadband.co.za/news/smartphones/92481-no-nokia-lumia-525-for-south-africa.html

The battery life of the 620 is just too poor for what I need.

So everyone here agrees that the 520 display is FINE.

Unless you plan on literally gluing your face on the display.... for a budget phone it will suit perfectly.

Well I certainly do, its also not completely over saturated like those fancy Nokia black displays, admitted they look good but just such an unnatural colour depth for photos.
