The basic hardware data are first identical. Processor, RAM and internal memory do not differ from each other. The 5MP camera is the same as the 620. The display is in the 520 0.2 "bigger, but with the same resolution. Both have a replaceable battery, removable cover and expansion via SD card.
In size and weight, both also do not have much, both are still well in hand and are without verränkungen operated with one hand (at least for me). A fact which is why I have refrained from Lumia 720/820.
For the Lumia 520 first speaks of the price and a minimal gößerer battery (1300 vs.1430) what (information standard manufacturer) the duration of the 520 but unfortunately not really extended
However, the 620 provides at second glance a lot of features that the 520 does not have:
Pro Lumia 620:
LED flashlight is missing from the 520
-WLAN Standard A provides only the 620
-NFC Is also integrated in only 620
-The Radiation values of 620 are much better! (0.84 vs. 1.09 at 620 at 520)
-When Display of 520 was clearly saved, it can not compete in terms of absolute brilliance, color and contrast.
-The Cover of the 620 are very robust, at 520, these are only half as thick and do not affect stable
-The Keys on the 520 are a bit shaky, when 620 all budge
-No Chat camera at 520
-When There are 620 worldwide Offline Navigation with Drive +, the 520 Drive nurnoch Regional (D / A / CH)
-Kamerataste With 2 pressure points at 620
-No Nokia City Lens at 520 because:
-No Integrated compass at 520
edit:
-When 620 are the 3 navigation buttons lit, not the 520. Advantage in the dark
Overall, I find the 620 as a better choice, but it's like everything, not everyone needs every feature (otherwise both would not need one).
I wanted nurmal summarize what is "more" value gets the current 30.- at the 620.
