By now
You’re surely familiar with Nokia’s Lumia range and the clean design language that comes with the name
And that continues with the 1520. It’s the same curved design that we’ve grown to know and love since the Lumia 800 first made its debut in 2011
Only it’s been given the super-sized treatment and simply towers over the rest of the range. The 1080p HD display measures up at a potentiall

The editors didn't like
Messy homescreen
Late to launch in some countries
Needs two hands to operate
The large screen often feels wasted
Bigger battery takes very long time to charge
Stylus could have made a nice addition
Buttons are a bit tricky to press
You'll need a whole new wardrobe of clothes with pockets big enough
Lack of optimisation
Heavy
Slow camera
Windows Phone still lacks apps
File compatibility
Music repro could be stronger
Lack of creativity
Bulky square body
Windows Phone rather limited
Windows Phone 8 layout can be overwhelming
App selection still behind iOS and Android
It's too big to use with one hand and too heavy as well. The camera's automatic and video modes need work too
The Nokia Lumia is big
But it’s not unwieldy. You’ll look a bit daft holding it to your head to make calls
But if you Snapchat and WhatsApp more than you ring
It’s not a problem. What is however
Is that Nokia and Microsoft have done little to convince us there’s a need for a screen this size. Samsung’s Galaxy Note phones offer a brilliantly thought out stylus as well as the ability to run two
Apps. Or rather
The lack of them
No special treats to make the most of the big screen
Camera can be slow to shoot
Enormous size won't be to everyone's taste
Windows Phone app store is still very poorly stocked
Lacking creativity
Bulky rectangular build
Windows Phone still limited
Too big
App store pricey with older content compared to rivals
No notifications centre
No quick settings
Switching connections on and off is a pain
Might be too big for some
Could be missing a few apps you want
Underwhelming video recording Hollow sounding speaker
Interface needs more functions that fully exploit the large display

Large, excellent display, PureView camera performs well, Very good build quality
Extremely large, awkward to hold, Camera can be sluggish, Windows Phone UI needs work

Abstract: Surprisingly slim and a solid grip, the 1520 feels almost like a mini tablet in your palms. At 6 inches, this one will tend to get a little bulky after a while of usage. Thin bezels give a good look to the smartphone but the edgy corners make it uncomfort...
