About a year and a half ago we saw as the then Nokia, now Microsoft , filled the smartphone market input range with Lumia 520. It was a terminal that had a very attractive price and despite having offered a modest specifications difficult to achieve fluency in the same range smartphones with Android working.
However, we are in 2015, and we want reevaluate the current market situation. Has it changed?
Still leaning Windows Phone smartphones or has taken a radical turn the market and Android smartphones have as much or more capable than most basic Windows Phone? We anticipate that Android has more to say on this product line I had to say a year ago.
Windows Phone continues apace
Microsoft is giving a good boost to its mobile operating system and have found that the mobile platform is becoming more competitive since the arrival of Windows Phone 8.1 .
We have shortcuts to activation of connectivity A notification bar very intuitive multitasking management system and all under the cloak of optimization inherited from previous versions of Windows Phone.
What we saw and what many manufacturers noted the success of the Lumia 520 is definitely the set of three basic characteristics: price, fluidity and user experience offered. While we were not facing a terminal with a large processor and half the RAM that Android smartphones of the same line.
Windows Phone is moving to giant steps and is catching up in many ways and even shop applications, increasingly complete. Now, this rate of improvement will be enough to win the game at the current low-end Android smartphones?
The input range of Android, not as low-end as before
When in 2015 we have to mention many improvements coming to Android low range and with which the scales balance significantly.
It has been the usual top-end smartphones that two or three years whether what is being now the input range or low range, economic line and an endless series of labels that makes these devices.
What we have in this line in 2015 we did not have the Last year? Undoubtedly we are features like IPS screens or processors two four very capable cores and 1GB of RAM. In fact there until screen terminals with a remarkable diagonal such as Note Xiaomi Redmi 4G , which priced at around 150 euros is situated in a very desirable range.
The input line, however, is far from that price and is in the range of 90-110 euros and that is where we are terminals like Motorola Moto E to fight one on one with Lumia 530 and does so with the promise Upgrade to Android Lollipop and performance optimizations and consumption we’ve seen in older brothers Moto E.
The battle for the input range is served
Microsoft has a number of terminals that range from the most basic line, Lumia 530 , through his models Lumia 535 or Lumia 630 . and Lumia 635
are in some price ranges starting at 90 euros Lumia 530 model, through the 99 euros Lumia 630 and reaching 115 euros Lumia 535 and its 5-inch screen or reaching up to 140 euros model Lumia 635.
Let’s list the specifications for these terminals because although some like RAM are not comparable across different operating systems like no other diagonal screen or resolution and technology as they are distinguishable by the user simple view. In fact many are guilty largely on the ease of use during the day
We will compare each Lumia terminal with which we think is the best Android contender in that price range, just right.:

Conclusions
The Android manufacturers have been stepping up this year to see the wolf ears with selling Lumia 520 and has been thanks to it as we see generally have better screens and cameras in the same price range that the current Lumia.
Obviously we have to talk about the difference between Windows Phone and Android and do not want to be unkind, but it hurts those who hurt, and even though, for example, has recently come to Windows Phone Candy Crush, there is still lack of applications.
This issue we are when we want, for example see our phone bill, light, house, get into our bank account, and so on. It’s a fact that the Windows Phone application ecosystem moving but there is a clear distance to be able to achieve if someday I get to Android.
