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...

    AnonD-134497, 20 Dec 2013Because it's a design that won awards not a design that is ... moreGsmarena should save the review title for the new Finnish flagship; Jolla!

    This is more like an American turtle! An overblown 800, a waste of hardware without any notable feature addition.

    Not even a file manager! Or decency of making pictures from tiles collection! Or even a simple Bluetooth transfer open compatibility.

    It's a total shame!

    By the way, after weeks of release, we have less than 10 actual users reviewing it on the user review pages.

    It does one thing well though; points out low IQ individuals (anyone who "upgrades" to this)

    Please don't delete, it's my honest review and its the truth!!

      I don't understand only one part in the review, the sunlight legibility, I read in quite a few places that the phone has amazing sunlight readability (better than Note III even) and I myself have no issues at all under direct sunlight.. but still the review says it has an average legibility..dunno what m missing here... was the sunlight legibility mode turned on when testing was done?

            Battery life can not be overstated, kudos for that.

                Why you dont write : such as 'boring design language' just you did to every SAMSUNG phone? Has Lumia changed the design language since Lumia 800? Just saying.

                  What a monster. Need to replace nexus 7 and RAZR I with something like this or ultra z. Like the ultra z but getting pissed off with Google+ integration everywhere and every android update taking more and more features away.
                  Probably wait till end of January and see if I can find a used 1520 for about £300ish
