Thinking of upgrading

[hidayat225]

Hi,

I have a Lumia 520 right now. Its been half a year now since having this device, selling my S3. Needed that money that time and now I'm here.

Its been UPS and DOWNS with this device honestly, a few crashes here and there often enough to irritate me but not a deal breaker. But surprisingly this phone satisfy to my needs more than my S3. When I was having that phone. There was nightmares but there's also alot of potential in that phone after knowing Androids openness.

Okay enough about that. I wanna ask anyone out there that has a 525. Is it worth the upgrade from a 520? 1GB Ram and Double Tap is a small but neat improvement. My aim is just to future proof myself without costing alot of money. Because 1GB Ram or more is important nowadays and I'm a guy who doesn't need flash or front facing camera and all the other features.

I guess 525 is more future proof than 520.
You know the newer apps aren't really released for 512 mb devices.. we have to wait like 3-4 months.

Exactly, I don't mind about that actually. What I'm afraid is they will ditch the 512 MB Ram devices in 8.1. I hope they do a KitKat "better support for 512mb Devices".

If you are not really into games i would stick to Lumia 520. I would rather wait for 8.1 update and phones with 8.1 update out of the box.
BTW. MS will update all current WP8 devices on WP 8.1 .
