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: The Lumia 1520 has a beautiful 1080p display, fast Snapdragon 800 processor and 20-megapixel camera. Its 6” display is easy on the eyes. It boasts a massive battery talk time of up to 24 hours of talk time at 3g speeds. It comes with an array of Windows 8...
Abstract: Last Friday, AT&T and Microsoft finally set the green Lumia 1520 loose as inventory went out to AT&T stores across the country. The green Lumia 1520 is no different from the currently available ones except for the bold, green color, and it is bold. I do n...
Abstract: The Lumia 1520 is my device. The one piece of hardware that is central to all my daily functions and needs. I have quite large hands, so handling a 6-inch device is not an issue for me. Windows Phone 8.1 has added a much needed breath of fresh air to my L...
Abstract: Quite a dramatic improvement and this sort of thinking extends throughout most, though not all, applications and screens on the Lumia 1520. There are notable exceptions, usually in legacy third party applications but ooccasionally in Microsoft first-party...
Abstract: The Nokia Lumia 1520 has the largest screen available on the latest Nokia touchscreen phones. The ClearBlack, IPS LCD screen measures 6 inches and has a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. It is easy to read in direct sunlight. Like other Nokia mobile phone...
The Nokia Lumia 1520 comes across like a super-sized Lumia 1020, but it's too large for comfortable everyday use and also suffers in comparison to the 1020 from having several important downgraded features. Chief amongst them are a slightly slower f/2.4...
When the Nokia Lumia 1520 first launched here in the US through AT&T, it astounded us with its aggressive $100 on-contract cost – giving it plenty of value for the buck. Strangely enough, after looking at its existing offering through the carrier, it h...

As one of the few camera-phone models that outputs a Raw file (DNG), the Lumia 1520, like the earlier 1020, is an interesting development for DxO Labs, as it allows us the opportunity to assess the sensor using the same industry-level image quality measur...
We have to admit it, guys. We were not excited when we learned that the new HTC One will use an UltraPixel camera, just like its 2013 predecessor. But now, after putting the phone's camera through its paces, our skepticism has vanished for the most par...

Abstract: iPhones and Android phones might get the lion's share of attention, but we think Windows Phone is a pretty terrific platform in its own right. What happens when you marry Microsoft's mobile OS to an enormous 6-in phablet? You get the Nokia Lumia 1520, the...
