Nokia Lumia 1520 Spec, Features and Review

Nokia Lumia 1520
If you like your smartphones big, has Nokia got a dream device for you. The Nokia Lumia 1520 is the first "phablet" for the Windows Phone platform, a plus-size phone with a full HD 6-inch display. As had been rumored, the new Lumia also boasts some of the PureView camera technology seen in the Lumia 1020 that's capable of capturing extremely sharp high-resolution photos.

The first thing most users will notice about the Lumia 1520 is the enormous display, which allows for a third column of live tiles on the phone's home screen. The latest Windows Phone software from Microsoft supports high-resolution displays like the 1,920 x 1,080 screen on the 1520 as well as the powerful quad-core 2.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor (with 2GB of RAM) that drives it.

It's also the first Nokia to come with a nanoSIM tray, meaning a number of sad upgraders who realise that once again they'll have to order a new SIM card. let's look at the specifications and features in Nokia Lumia 1520

Full Specifications and Features of Nokia Lumia 928
Design
Nokia Lumia 1520 Spec

The Nokia Lumia 1520 builds upon the design philosophy of all previous Lumia flagships. It features a solid unibody construction with a colorful polycarbonate casing. The PureView camera on board, complete with optical image stabilization, promises great low-light experience, while the top-notch display should help the 1520 deliver the best Windows Phone experience around. Services and apps like Nokia Camera, Storyteller and Cinemagraph add even more value to the package.

Camera
Although the Nokia Lumia 1520 camera falls someway short of the 41-megapixel offering bestowed on its Nokia Lumia 1020 sibling, the phone's 20-megapixel PureView sensor is nothing to be sniffed at. With auto focus and a Carl Zeiss lens thrown in for good measure, the Lumia 1520’s camera is a strong performer based on first use.

During our initial hands-on tests in a poorly lit demo room, the Nokia Lumia 1520's camera was responsive and yielded impressive results in challenging conditions. Although we were unable to playback images on an external screen, colours looked strong and details sharp and well-focussed.

Memory
The 1520 comes with 32GB of internal memory, which can be expanded by another 32GB via a microSD card slot. The design for the microSD card slot will now ensure that you don’t need to open up the rear panel to put in additional memory. Right above the micro-SIM card slot, you will now find the SD card slot, which should be pretty convenient for users. The 64GB total memory should definitely be sufficient for most users who want to use the 6-inch screen for watching videos on-the-go.

Battery
The new device comes with a non-removable 3400mAh battery. Given the specs, the battery choice seems to a healthy one. The company has said that the device will give a stand-by battery time of 780 hours and up to 25 hours of talk time. Until we get our hands on the device, though, it will be tough to validate these claims.

One of the most noteworthy parts of this phablet is the quad-core processor that it runs on, the first of its kind from Nokia and on the Windows Phone platform as well. The device comes with Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 800 clocked at 2.2GHz, coupled with 2GB of RAM. The hardware essentially put the 1520, processor-wise, in the same league as Sony’s recent phablet release, the Sony Xperia Z1.
