Nokia Lumia 1520 review: Finnish fable

20 December 2013
The Nokia Lumia 1520 is just like the rest of the premium Lumia smartphones we've seen, but bigger and faster. The advanced imaging and the custom app selection by Nokia will make the difference against Android phablets...

      Decent effort from Nokia but still doesn't match the pinnacle they reached with the N95. I have that phone and couldn't be happier with it.

                This is best phone out there if you can handle it. No hangs and super fast at all times.

                  If these perfect specs were pushed into a 5.5 inch display, it would kill every phone out there.Difficult portability is one of its biggest flaws.

                      Maybe if Nokia they dont have to wait for MS and their WP they could do something when Samsung showed Note 1/2 but today is too late...Anyway, Nokia is no longer exist in the smartphones ;(

                                AnonD-150047, 21 Dec 2013N1520 it seem like a solid phone. Btw can someone compare t... morelumia 1520 bezel is really small much like note 3 except the upper portion is a bit taller due to having more mic.
                                all lumia bezel look more because of the wp background being black and nokia clear black display make the screen black mix with the black colour. check a white background lumia
