Lumia 520, the number one and the most affordable Windows Phone model right now, is an even more affordable device thanks to a 70 percent discount released by Microsoft on its eBay store.

The device, which is available in limited quantities, can only be purchased by those living in the United States, so no love for Europeans for the moment.

Lumia 520 is not only the most affordable Windows Phone device currently on the market but also one that comes with a modest hardware configuration, which includes a dual-core 1GHz processor, 512 MB of RAM, and 8 GB of storage space. The display measures 4 inches, while the 5-megapixel rear camera doesn't event have flash.

And yet, Lumia 520 is one of the Windows Phone devices that can be updated to Windows 10 for phones either when it becomes available or through the preview that will soon support more models.

Luckily, there's already a hack that allows all Lumia phones to be updated to Windows 10 for phones preview, so if you can't wait to see what the new operating system is all about, just purchase this handset for $29 (€25) and try the aforementioned hack.

Right now, there's no indication as to how long Microsoft wants to keep this offer available, so you’d better hurry up to grab one as long as you still can.
