Got 520 as 2015 Xmas gift, no experiences like issues posted (knock on wood) even after many drops (in protective case). Never knew brand before and have been pleased with performance thus far after going thru many rated brands. Software has to be related with some complaints listed. Phone used watching many Youtube videos and dont have any battery draining or even lag or typing delay issues. Would've expected the experience here in Jamaica, being third world and at times dumped on with second grade items. Based on my smart phone experiences check for software clashes. My main prob is limited internal memory, thank god.

THE WORST PHONE I HAVE EVER TOUCHED. This phone is able to put you off huawei easily!!! It might not be cheap but do not buy it.

Rooting this Y520 phone is definitely worth it and makes it possible to multitask and run some demanding apps even on the very poor specs.
At stock, because of the very low RAM it can't even run simple apps like Poweramp + Firefox at the same time without force closing. After rooting it and making a 400mb swap file the 2 apps are able to run with each other and not crash :)
After rooting, newer games can also become playable on it by using GL Tools to reduce graphics quality.

I'm still happily using my Y520 after 2 years, sure it's slow and not great for anything other than calling/texting and music but the phone is just so darn reliable! I've seen so many other expensive phones have major issues within months/weeks and have to be returned but I've never had any issues with my Y520. It does exactly what it's supposed to do as a budget smartphone. I'm now looking to upgrade to a newer phone but to be honest if the Y520 just had a slightly better battery with a quad core CPU + 1 GB of RAM (which some newer apps require) I would have probably used it for another 2 years.

I must agree with the most negative comments here. this phone is one of the worst phones I ever had. My first device is dead after 13 months, and my second device is now in trouble.. I wouldn't recommend new buyer to purchase any products of huawei..
