Fairly Good
but some oversights.
Camera
If you do point and shoot then do that.
if you leverage additional features on one do it on both. ie the 1520 has on screen tweaking and other options that the night shots would be the best.
outdoor visibility
you then decided to use reflectance as the measure
this is fundamentally wrong. The Nits is the driver for this as reflectance may hamper the view, a less bright screen will not be visible so reflectance is secondary. so in very bright situations the 1520 will be useable and not the other as reflectance we all naturally tilt the screen to minimize.

I like to see people saying "Nokia is better than Samasung, Samsung is better then Nokia, HTC is worse than...Sony,etc.
BEST is what fits your needs ! Is not a issue of who's the best because here we compare DIFFERENT operating system with different flexibilities and apps !!!
As i replied earlier,
I HAVE Galaxy Note 2, i tried Note 3, and i bought Lumia 1520 !
On many chapters is beating Note !
I don't know you guys, but i have Android Acer tablet (not useful for my needs anymore), Samsung Galaxy S2, HTC Desire Z (first version of Droid - i was a big fan of droid back then), Samsung Note 2, and ... i choose Lumia 1520.
I don't want to comment more .... END OF STORY.

I am a little disappointed with this highly detailed test, as it did not help my to make up my mind, which of the two to purchase.
I own a broken screen Note2 (well not such a great quality from Samsung). There are a few things I like about it, the S-pen and many keyboards, multi-language spelling and type predicting, camera voice operation, many features I simply hate: buttons, poor original headset, camera operation, missing voice navigation and DIALING!
Since I NEVER use Google /Gmail, the Note 2 email application is irrelevant for me and the application I installed instead is lame.
Polaris Office Viewer is a good viewer, but I wish to be able to edit some documents, Excels in particular. I also wish to be able to run PowerPoint presentations, including all animation from the phone, that would spare me a lot of space and headaches.
Navigation is nice to have, and I do not know if WP supports Waze and Jandex, but it is not critical.
I do not give a fuck about games, I give a shit about movies and I hardly waste storage and time on music. This is my WORK WORK WORK machine!
So, here are the features that I could not find and wish to see in the report, as a "road worrier businessman":
(1) Internet connectivity with other devices (reading my laptop), BlueTooth hot spot, WiFi hot spot....
(2) Skype conversation quality, SIP client, WhatsApp chat availability
(3)Email support and synchronisation with my ThunderBird
(4) 3rd party browsers (Firefox) compatibility and synchronisation.
(5) Memo writing (s-Pen is doing a great job here!)
(6) Photography processing and commenting (again s-pen!)
(7) PC backup (Note is BAD in this category) and connectivity... HDMI port is gone ?
(8) Voice activation, especially of dialing - as I drive. A voice operation and dictation system is more than welcomed!
(9) MS Office support !!!
I frankly do not know how this test applied to. I think that this type of a device is mostly aimed at businessmen like me. I have had a WONDERFUL decade with various Nokia communicators. I was thinking this test would answer my many questions, as a professional... Instead it was dealing with games and movies for kids...

Come on peeps...
Take a step back and look at this thread...
It's like being in a playground with kids saying "yeah but my dad can beat up your dad..."
We're on here because we love technology, mobiles from ALL companies - choice is key - we need Sony / Nokia / Sammy / HTC - so we as consumers have CHOICE - and so that companies strive to innovate and improve over their competitors...
There's no one phone that fits everyone's needs...
And remember - these companies don't have loyalty to YOU - once they've sold the 1520 or Note 3 - they've already got the next version in the pipeline ready to sell you all over again..
So let's appreciate the good and quit all the name-calling and back-biting..
Could I order in a huge portion of social skills to this thread please... thanks waiter...
