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: It has been a few weeks since the colossal Lumia 1520 from Nokia was released here in the U.S. on AT&T. Since then, I have repeatedly been asked one question from people on Twitter and elsewhere: “Do you use it as your daily driver?” (inevitably followed ...

Best hardware you can find on Windows Phone, Outstanding battery life, Excellent display, Solid audio performance
Cumbersome hardware, Software doesn't take full advantage of large screen size, Windows Phone is coming due for a refresh,
At the end of the day, the Lumia 1520 is a monster – but it's a friendly, lovable one. It doesn't do all it can to leverage its massive screen, and many folks are bound to find it just too big for their pockets. For all the bluster their size and speci...
Abstract: Boy it must be great being an AT&T customerif you’re the kind of person that takes fancy in Windows Phones, seeing that the carrier lays claim to two of the best ones out right now. Earlier in the fall, we were mesmerized by the carrier’s introduction ...
Big full HD IPS display, top notch specs, usual Lumia elegant and unique design
This is a huge phone! Windows app store selection is getting better but still doesn't match Android and IOS selection
The Nokia Lumia 1520 is a very likeable tablet-phone with an excellent display, a stylish design, great call quality and good speed. It has the latest generation hardware inside, making it the first Windows Phone that isn't a step behind flagship Andr...
Abstract: Cheap is the new expensive. Crazy to believe it, but it’s true as we uncover some of the recent devices to enter the market. For the longest of time now, high-end smartphones tend to fall within that golden price point of $200 with a 2-year contract. I...

Fantastic screen, Beautiful design, Incredible battery life
Too big for some hands/pockets, Windows Phone OS still lacks apps
Before we gush anymore, the size will be the most prohibitive issue for some users, but then there are plenty of other handsets, including other Lumias, which can offer just as premium a user experience in a smaller, more universally manageable package.As...
Abstract: You’d think they would have a new offering to compete against other recent phablet releases this holiday season, but Korean based LG has yet to unveil one – surprising to say the least, especially when everyone has something on the table. Then again, i...
Abstract: If you haven’t noticed it yet, many of today’s “phablets” look eerily similar to their flagship brethren – almost to the teeth in some instances. Despite the similarities in design, these giant sized smartphones tend to get some additional love in the ...
Abstract: More than ever before, this year we saw an unprecedented amount of larger than life smartphones entering the space – commonly known to many of us as “phablets.” They’re gargantuan devices that might overpower those with small appetites, but they serve ...
Great build quality, Beautiful screen, Good battery life, Good camera
Still lacking some apps, Call quality poor at times
When I reviewed the iPhone 5s, I said that I think the device's full potential has yet to be realized, especially since it has a 64-bit processor and a new M7 co-processor. I very much feel the same way about the Lumia 1520....
