Nokia Lumia 520, the budget-friendly smartphone from Microsoft, is now available at a discounted price. The reduction in price further corroborates the imminent release of the successor Nokia Lumia 530.

Considered as one of the best inexpensive handsets, the Lumia 520 comes with a handy 4-inch IPS LCD display. This handset can now be purchased for only $39 from Amazon. The original price of this handset used to be $99. Hence this is a killer $60 reduction in price. Phone Arena advises interested readers to utilise this limited period offer from Amazon.

As far as the specification goes, the 4.0-inch Nokia Lumia 520 is complimented by a 480 x 800 pixels screen resolution and 235 ppi pixel density.
