Nokia Amber update showing up on the T-Mobile Lumia 521

posted on Aug 15th 2013 at 5:42pm by Joe Fedewa

One of our favorite little phones, the Nokia Lumia 521, is getting the Amber update right now. It was just announced earlier today, and we have the update loaded up on ours now. The Amber update for the 521 doesn’t have all the features that is has on devices like the Lumia 920, but it does add a few nice things.

The most notable additions are DataSense and FM Radio. They also included bug fixes for the Other Storage problem. Like we said, Amber isn’t as exciting for the 521 as it is for the high-end models, but an update is an update. It’s always nice to be on the most latest software version. Have any of you received the update yet?

    My 521 is preparing to install now. It’s unfortunate that Nokia couldn’t figure out how to put the Glance feature on all of their WP8 Lumia phones. It’s been a decent phone and I’ll probably skip the 925 on T-Mobile (my other phone died a month before it came out), and wait until the T-Mobile version of the 1020 in 6 months. Hopefully it will look more like the 925 than the 920 for T-Mob.

    The reason the 521 doesn’t have glance screen is because the display is not AMOLED. If the 521 had glance screen it would destroy the battery life.
