Nokia Lumia 1520 Full specification and Review

Nokia, the world’s largest vendor of mobile phones from 1998 to 2012 and the second mobile phone manufacturer after Samsung has introduced its largest Smartphone in Lumia series – Nokia Lumia 1520.

Nokia Lumia 1520 has it display size to be 6inch. And like every other windows phone available up to date, the 1520 doesn’t offer stylus. It is relatively thin for a phablet at 8.7mm, 1.59mm thinner than HTC One Max and only marginally thicker than the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (8.3mm).

Although, the Smartphone is not bigger than 6inch screen, it is too big to comfortably fit into pocket, which could cause an issue. The front of the device is dominated by a 6in full high-definition screen, which is sharp, vibrant and very good looking. Text appears crisp on websites and documents, with images richly coloured and detailed. The large screen is great for sharing videos too: viewing angles are really wide.
