The Nokia Lumia 520 has a 4 inch IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen with a pixel ratio of 480 x 800 pixels. The Xperia M comes with similar 4 inch TFT capacitive touch screen with a display ratio of 480 x 854 pixels. The screen of both the phones is scratch resistant.
Ram and Storage Options: The Lumia sports a 1 GHz Dual core processor supported by 512 MB of RAM, while the Xperia M carries a similar speed processor the RAM is 1 GB making it a slightly faster phone. The internal storage in Lumia is 8 GB and the same can be extended by 64 GB with the help of an external memory card.
The Xperia M has only 4 GB of internal memory and expandable external storage capacity of 32 GB. Both phones have the capability to connect to 2G as well as 3G networks. Thus both phones can access to high speed data networks also. In addition the phones can connect to Wi-Fi, USB and Bluetooth connections. The Xperia has an advantage over the Lumia in the fact that it supports NFC feature while the Lumia doesn’t.
