Pantech Battery life is bad. If you are fine with WP8 then get the Lumia 520. Its got less lag (though with CM10 even the Pantech runs smoothly), better battery life (my Pantech struggles to last even 10 hours on 2G with light usage), better camera (not by much but still), and support and warranty in India which is always a plus.

Pantech is better only in that it supports waaay more apps and games since its an Android and I love the SAMOLED screen. Also the Pantech is a rugged phone. God knows how many times I have dropped it on the floor and its still working great even after over a year. Lastly the Pantech has an LED light which is great as a torch or to add some fill light for night shots.

You use it on maps? If then you wont find any difference if you are moving. Only difference is when you are standing still. Worth the sacrifice for you for a better and more stable phone? That my friend is for you to decide.

Oh and Nokia maps is simply among the best. Many would argue that it is better than Google Maps and I tend to agree.

With the money you'll be saving by going for Lumia 520, as opposed to a similar performing Android phone, you can get a cool standalone compass. Sacrifices...there's always something to sacrifice.

Honestly if you aren't much into apps and gaming the Lumia 520 is the way to go. I don't like the lack of games and apps compared to Android but for your requirement - Mp3, videos, browsing etc the 520 is very good while the Pantech Battery life might be an issue.
