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

Gorgeous, high quality 6 inch 1080p display, Fast performance, Excellent camera quality and functionality, Value added Nokia applications and services, Great sounding rear mono speaker, Reasonable price for the size
Massive sized phone for no compelling reason, Poorly designed right buttons, Lack of support for Qi charging, Limited 12 GB available internal storage memory, Pricing and availability, AT&T yet again scores another exclusive and with that comes the inabil
The Nokia Lumia 1520 is a beast of a phone with the best specifications of any Windows Phone device to date. Microsoft did a great job minimizing the needs of the OS so many of these specifications are not necessarily needed to provide a full Windows Phon...
