The budget-friendly Nokia Lumia 520 has registered over 12 million activations to date. Microsoft announced the impressive milestone during today’s Worldwide Partner Conference keynote in Washington DC.

The eight-digit number of activations includes the T-Mobile variant of the device in the United States, Nokia Lumia 521. There’s no word if Nokia Lumia 525 is included in the tally.
The success of Nokia Lumia 520 should hardly catch anyone by surprise - late last year the characterful handset was responsible for 30% of all Windows Phone devices. However, this is the first time when the Finnish company’s new owner delivered actual activation numbers.
Announced in February last year, Nokia Lumia 520 is due for a replacement in the immediate future. It is needless to say that its already leaked, alleged successor, Nokia Lumia 530 will have big shoes to fill.
