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

It has a good display, Hardware is top notch, Performance is smooth
Large size might be uncomfortable at times, Lack of enough apps ready for HD display, Camera experience could be zippier

Good, Excellent screen, High-quality camera for stills and video, Powerful components
Interface not optimised for the big screen, Uncomfortable grip
If you want a Windows Phone with a supersized high-resolution screen, this is currently the only game in town. Nokia is the only manufacturer truly committed to Windows Phone, and with its acquisition by Microsoft now complete, it's unlikely that any othe...
Superb display, Excellent performance, Excellent Camera, Solid Build Quality, Superb audio quality, Great for media consumption
Lack of popular apps and games, Heavy, big and tough to handle, Lacks file-manager, no notification center – all cons of Windows Phone OS, For its price, you get Galaxy Note 3 which offers a lot of software features and S-Pen,
The Nokia Lumia 1520 is definitely a foot in the right direction from both Nokia and Microsoft and as a package, the Nokia Lumia 1520 is quite impressive. When the Windows Phone App store catches up with Android and iOS, this will definitely be a phone...

Abstract: We've done our fair share of head-to-head articles this year, but there's no better way of completing it than by seeing the two most powerful phablet beasts stand against each other. It's the Sherlock Holmes against Professor Moriarty of the mobile wo...
The Nokia Lumia 1520 is the company's first phablet but we're not saying that to set the scene for a softer verdict. On the contrary, an evolutionary leap for Windows Phone in terms of both hardware and software, the Lumia 1520 is a phablet worth having...
