The editors didn't like
Its size makes onehanded operation difficult
And call quality was muddier than on most Nokia phones. Limited voice dictation and voice assistance in the OS hobbles its usefulness as a phablet
Extremely large
Awkward to hold
Camera can be sluggish
Windows Phone UI needs work
Arguably too big
WP8 feels unoptimised
Lack of apps
Lack of video store
A little on the heavy side
Takes nanoSIM
So previous Windows Phone users will need to get a new SIM card

Abstract: Last week, Nokia unveiled a pair of Windows Phone phablet devices — the Lumia 1520 and Lumia 1320. We got to have a play around with both devices at Nokia World 2013 in Abu Dhabi (you can check out all the major announcements from the event over at our li...
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
Nokia's Lumia 1520 has a huge 6in display and also includes an excellent 20-megapixel PureView camera. If you can handle its gargantuan, awkward size, it combines a great screen with continually developing software, though there's still plenty of room for...
The Lumia 1520 is gigantic. It's hard corners don't lend themselves to one-handed use. That's the extent of criticisms I have for the Lumia 1520 in 2014. Everything else about it hits the right note.Windows Phone 8.1 on the Lumia 1520 is fluid and fast. T...

Design is well done and construction is top notch. 1080p display is crisp and competitive. Windows native apps integrate well with the OS
Third-party apps need some fostering, not as mature as iOS and Android. Camera is good but 20 megapixel camera equally competes with iPhone and high end Androids
When we think of phablets, we expect an experience that makes good use of the extra real estate they're blessed with. Bearing that in mind, that's what makes the Note 4 the superior phablet – one that not only boasts rich features and impressive specs, bu...

Abstract: Our smartphones are the single most important devices we own. They're the tools we use to communicate with our loved ones, our offices made mobile. They're our game consoles, our conduit for watching and reading anything the internet offers. They've also ...
As we said earlier, megapixels aren't all that matters in a camera, and Apple's new smartphones are your living proof. In fact, we can confidently say that the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are two of the best cameraphones we've had the chance to test so far...
The iPhone 6 is certainly a fantastic smartphone, and it is hard not to see why Apple gets some much credit for their refined designs. Of course, it is beyond overhyped as well as I cannot say I am a convert after using one.As far as iOS 8, there are some...
