Nokia Lumia 1520

The Nokia Lumia 1520 is a significant phone for both Nokia and Microsoft.It's the first Windows Phone 8 device to debut with a large 6-inch display, a first smartphone from the platform to sport a full HD 1080p display, and one that comes with one of the wold’s most powerful processors in the form of the quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 CPU.The Lumia 1520 is the largest phone in the current Nokia lineup and it is a giant. Its 6in screen is far bigger than any of the other Lumia smartphones, which top out with 4.5in screens – smaller than most 5in flagship Android phones for instance.Like every other Windows Phone available to date, the Lumia 1520 doesn't offer a stylus. It's relatively thin for a phablet at 8.7mm, 1.59mm thinner than the HTC One Max and only marginally thicker than the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (8.3mm).

It's got the biggest Windows Phone screen yet; and also the fastest processor seen on the platform, with Qualcomm’s current flagship 2.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor, putting it in good company with the likes of the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and the Nexus 5, among others.

Switching between apps works as fast as Windows Phone will allow (hit the back button and, allowing for a necessary transition, you're there), while games and applications fly with no lag or stutter. That's an improvement over the experience on some apps on other less powerful Windows Phone handsets, though the OS itself has never suffered from either.

The Lumia 1520 comes with 32GB of storage as standard - but also includes a microSD slot for up to 64GB more.
