Bought this phone last week,

Pros - so far the best RM500+ range phones, OS is smooth, gps is good and camera is best at this price range believe.

Cons - battery used up quite fast, the auto brightness seem abit too dim. The camera button is hard to press.
and being new to these lumia windows experience, i can safely say that access to software is kind troublesome, especially wifi and stuff where you have to go in settings to set whereas a android is one swipe away from it.

overall the phone is one of the best low end phone out there provided that the user utilize the gps and camera which is their strength in lumia phone!

Me an ex-Lumia 800 user. I noticed WP never really done a good implementation with the brightness sensor. Can you try to disable the auto brightness and switch to medium? See if you get improved battery life.

medium is fine but for battery life it is hard to tell cuz medium is almost same as auto.

yeah but funny thing is first 50% drain fast for my lumia 520

forgot to mention another con is that the back of the cover gets dirty really fast. maybe it is a lumia thing and not just 520
