Design and materials used to create body of Nokia’s cell phone is pretty good, you will have the feel that you are using significantly expensive device. Since this is a more budget friendly device it will be delivered to larger number of younger users and the colors in which it will be available are certainly an advantage over the competition.

Build quality is on a pretty high level and polycarbonate used is similar to what we were able to see on flagship devices like One X.
In the display segment we have a decent smartphones. HTC First offers slightly larger diagonal of 4.3 inch compared to 4.0 inch display on Lumia 520. Resolution is also higher and we are getting 1280 x 720 pixels that translates to 342 ppi of pixel density over 800 x 480 pixels that is 223 ppi of pixel density.
