Nokia Lumia 1520 preview: Second encounter

15 November 2013
Lagging behind Android in hardware specs for what seemed like ages, WP8 managed to catch up in one fell swoop. With the Lumia 1520 at the spearhead, Nokia evened the playing field with a massive 1080p screen and a Snapdragon 800 chipset, then tilted it...

AnonD-109818, 19 Nov 2013No OS is never perfect that being common to WP, Android, or... moreYeah...That might work if....WP was not only one year younger than Android for starters...So that is a ridiculous claim that makes no sense from others. As far as being closed source that's Microsofts problem and making an excuse.
Not to mention WP evolved out of the ending of WM. It is now very different and not just updgraded. So again...It did not just come out of thin air and is only one year younger....
And the issue here is the fact that everyone likes to pretend it is perfect and never has all these issues. And when someone says there is some issues everyone gets all fanboy defensive and starts denying and bashing in return...Case in point of the past couple pages or so.

A video on a lumia...And your point? I have an cortex a5 chip running jeally bean. Stock official. 1GHz, half gig of ram adreno 200 gpu. It runs very well most of the time. There are occasional hiccups. Mostly when the memory is full. On a daily driver basis however it very functional.

      AnonD-109818, 19 Nov 2013....apology acceptedMe pointing out you not typing what you meant...if you werent just being ignorant and denying it....is not an apology.
      You made a poorly written/thought out fanboy post in response to not properly reading something. Then made accusations from that. If you were not just being a fanboy and truly did not mean it as it was stated...You still said it that way and were rude for being replied to in direct response to what you typed.

                Anonymous, 18 Nov 2013Yeah. God forbid anyone know the truth and state it. If so ... moreNo OS is never perfect that being common to WP, Android, or iOS... each and everyone will always have bugs to some extent. However a mature OS will tend to have less bugs than a young one.
                Android has gone through many versions from Eclair to Gingerbread to ICS to JB and now KK... and it being open source there is so much more room for bug fixes and faster development whereas WP is pretty much closed and quite obviously young to the mobile world. So it is actually quite unfair to call WP perfect OR crappy.
                I think i'll do a video of how responsive my Lumia is... at least that MIGHT shed some light on the alleged "lag"

                        Facebook really has tons of issues. Just visit this link and you see read that lots of people are facing the delayed notifications issues. Not due to network because I received prompted notices on my HTC One when on the same network. TBH, I see the ME tile get notified, but not the Facebook app.

                        So is Whatsapp.

                        Store - I do not receive any app updates at all, until I need to search for the app for updates in the store. Not sure what's your definition of now and then, perhaps the tile gets updated in 2 weeks later is considered fine with you?

                        Here maps - Is not about navigation or getting lost on the streets. I do not see the maps as updated as Google maps. I'm seeing coffee houses, 7-11 stores, clinics, etc etc on Google maps but none of that are presence at all on Here maps on certain areas. Perhaps you like Here maps, hence you can stand these shortcomings. But not me.

                        My HTC One does not get lags at all. Samsung touchwiz is known to be a overbloated launcher. Using that as a comparison is unfair. Stock Android has no such issues at all.

Why are you asking me to compare Whatsapp with a game title?? I don't care if Asphalt is the latest or not. I don't game at all. If Whatsapp is slow on WP8, then it is slow. Why is it so hard for you to admit that whatsapp on WP8 is simply sucks comparing to other platforms?

                                  Regardless of how angry and jealous you all get it happens and is true.
                                  They are sharing personal experiences because WP is no more perfect than anything else is. The problem is everyone loves to claim it is so perfect and smooth and blah blah. It lags, it stutters, it plays smooth animations to hide sluggish loading, apps crash, some apps have bugs, notifications do not always work right, there is still a lack of apps, and weird alts.
                                  WP IS NOT PERFECT AND MANY PEOPLE DO FACE THESE weird issues.
                                  Some people have a flawless experience on any OS, but most experience some bugs/hiccups on all os's.
                                  The problem is that some troll has to contradict everything people say and call it all lies and them trolls

                                  I love how people just jump in on the end of something and think they know what's going on. Then get all fanboy defensive.
