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
Vibrant display, Top-of-the-line hardware, Great imaging experience, Solid build quality
Can be uncomfortable to hold, 6-inch display may be too big for some
The Lumia 1520 offers a Windows Phone experience unlike any we've seen before. With its top-notch hardware, fantastic imaging and constantly improving firmware, this is by far our favorite WP8 device....
Abstract: The Lumia 1520 takes Nokia’s familiar pillow shape design and stretches it out to its limits. This is the first Nokia phablet, but even if you are used to using large phones the Lumia 1520 is shockingly big. The large size might make it awkward to hold...
While opening impressions have been fairly positive, there is one downside - the handset will be priced at $749 in the US. While no UK pricing details have yet been announced, this is a sign that the phone will be expensive, and we can't help but think...
Fast processor, Fast web experience, Excellent display, Great build quality with thin chassis, Capable camera, Good battery life
Too big, App store pricey with older content compared to rivals, No notifications centre, No quick settings
I recognise that here, as well as elsewhere, I've been quite critical of Nokia's Lumia handsets, but to clarify as I did at the beginning of this review, that's actually in no small part because I genuinely do appreciate the company's excellent design c...
Excellent still image quality Impressive specs for a Windows Phone Long battery life
Underwhelming video recording Hollow sounding speaker
For those who are contemplating on picking this up without a contract, you will be looking around the £400 – £500 price point still seems pretty good in comparison to other phablets – though, there's no arguing that its on-contract cost absolutely gives ...
Despite my initial reservations, I did bond with the Lumia 1520, but eventually had to reduce it to strictly stay-at-home activities and instead use something that fit in my jacket pocket without peaking out over top. Phablets are built to appeal to peopl...

If you're thinking about getting a tabletófono definitely the LenovoVibe Z2 Pro and Nokia Lumia 1520 are a good choice. The Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro has an advantage in certain sections such as the processor because it is newer. Its strong point is the QHD scre...
Abstract: The Nokia Lumia Windows Phone 8 is a beast of a device with a 6" 1920 x 1080 display a 20MP PureView camera, a 2.3GHz Snapdragon 800 CPU; 2GB RAM; 16/32GB storage (microSD expansion up to 64GB), NFC and 802.11n Wi-Fi; plus a 3,200 mAh battery – now draw b...
Great screen, Beautiful OS, Superb camera, Good video performance
Windows Phone still lacks apps, File compatibility, Music repro could be stronger
While there's no denying the Lumia 1520 has its flaws, if you've ever been curious about Windows Phone this could well be the handset that finally pushes you to make the jump.There really is a lot to love about it. It's just a shame that app availability ...
