512 RAM isn't bad for most purposes, its not going to work with some fancy apps (but they are few and far between) and its fancy 3D games that won't work.
I would recommend looking at the 620 (the 630 is more of a sidegrade to the 620), the 520 is bottom-of-the-bargain-bin, but its not what you're looking for.
The 1320 is a fine option if you could live with the size. I wouldn't be able to, but on paper, its a reasonably powerful mid-range device.
Android is often percieved as superior and WP bad. A misconception. But either one isn't for everyone, know that.
Also worth noting that some Samsung ATIV phones might be a good option. They're generally underrated in these parts, but they can potentially be found for a good price.
There are over 150'000 apps in the app store, and only a few dozen of them don't run on 512MB devices. AFAIK they are all games. Decide for yourself how important that is. Lumia 525 and 1320 both have 1GB of RAM.
I'd also vote for a 925 (not sure if affordable).
Thanx buddy for such a deep comparison... Yup now i'm also going for wp but now confusion is all about which one under $300,
8x is over for my budget.. And i hate samsung from heart
my gf has an 820 but it really lacks battery life. i dont recommend it. you wont get through a day with normal using....Try 820. I think it has 1gb ram and it's around 20k. Will be a better option than 720 and 525.

No buddy l920 is about $400...which i cnt manage.... And exactly i also go through many times with my android handset on google play i search one thing but they show bundles of app in which we have to find out orignal one others are just like making fool of others.. Wp is better if it doesnt show these type of stupid things
Android kitkat removed the apps to sd feature. Windows Phone has this feature in 8.1. So you have practically unlimited storage,ie the higher capacity memory card you buy, the more storage you get for apps. Hypothetically you can have upto 136GB I'd storage on the Lumia 520,525,620,625,630,720,820,1320 and 160GB on the Lumia 1520. Unlike iPhone which has a fixed capacity storage and is ridiculously overpriced, such that only hipsters and fools buy it for 'status' apparently, you have a wide range of options with WP.
