Abstract: It's difficult to believe that, until very recently, Nokia has been unable to ship Lumia devices with Full HD displays. However, a Windows Phone firmware update last year brought Full HD to the Lumia platform, and Nokia responded by launching the enorm...
Gorgeous, high resolution screen, Sturdy build, Fast performance, Super battery life, Excellent shooter aided by compelling UI and apps, Nokia's signature apps
App options still relatively low on WP as compared to iOS and Android, Lack of Google apps and a unified notification centre may sour the deal, Requires connivance with the devil to buy
There are no two ways about it – the Lumia 1520 is undoubtedly the best Windows Phone device we've ever used. Sure, it's huge and one-handed usage is an issue, but that comes with the territory and you should know what you're getting into if you're consid...

Abstract: How big is too big? Nokia is asking you to push the boundaries on the answer. It used to be that a ~4.5-inch display was considered huge. In the 2014 smartphone world, however 4.5 inches is now considered average or even small. But when you look at Nokia'...

Nokia's best effort has produced the best Windows Phone yet. Quality camera delivers fantastic shots in most conditions. Snapdragon 800 is powerful and uptodate, complemented by a beautiful, large 1080p display.
Huge handset isn't for everyone. Windows Phone generally isn't optimized for the large display. No stylus support.
Nokia is edging closer to creating the perfect Windows Phone with the Lumia 1520. Finally we have a handset that matches current Android and iOS devices in terms of performance and hardware, with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 SoC making the experience snapp...

Abstract: The Lumia 1520 is exclusive to AT&T in the US, and it's available in red (our model), black, yellow and white. All have a matte finish except the red that's glossy. We love the red's look, but it is both large and slippery. The black looks very classy and...
The Lumia 1520 is the most advanced Windows Phone device to date and boasts specs that are comparable to the best Android phones. That's not to say that Windows Phone lagged behind Android in the past from an experience point of view as even though there...
Abstract: On one side of the ring, we have the LG G Flex, a marvel of a device that showcases some new and innovative design qualities we haven’t seen commercialized on a large scale. Meanwhile there’s the Nokia Lumia 1520, the biggest and most high spec’d Windo...
