SoftwareWhile X uses Nokia's X Software, a forked version of Android, Lumia 520 runs on Microsoft's Windows Phone OS. Both devices come incorporated with Nokia and Microsoft services such as Outlook, Skype, HERE maps (Nokia's own APP store), Nokia Music and so on. The best thing about the Nokia X is that it can run many Android apps. Moreover, if you do not find it in Nokia store then you can side-load it from another store. Given that Android has a larger app database than Windows it might not be possible to run the entire app, which is a plus point for the X.
