Nokia's Lumia 1520 delivers a large
Glarefighting screen
A fast processor
Plenty of storage
And a strong 20megapixel camera for the same oncontract price as a smaller premium phone.
Large
Excellent display
PureView camera performs well
Very good build quality
Great 1080p display
Fine camera
Solid build quality
Surprisingly slim
Fast system performance
Excellent 4G
Solid battery life
With as much as two days going into a third day
Fantastic camera
Expandable memory
Bigger screen size allows for an extra column of icons
Which means you can generally fit all the icons you ne
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

The camera's really fun, the screen's impressive and the battery life will not let you down.
It's too big to use with one hand and too heavy as well. The camera's automatic and video modes need work too
We've never accused a phone of being too big before but this one really is. The screen and camera are great but the trade-off doesn't quite match up....
Abstract: A smartphone and a tablet . The biggest Windows Phone to date. Here's our Nokia Lumia 1520 video review. If you're in denial about 'phablets' then take a look at the Lumia 1520. With a 6in screen the handset has one inch on most flagship smartphone and ...
Abstract: The day has come when Nokia will stand up and be recognised as a force to be reckoned with. This stance comes in the form of the stunning Lumia 1520.This large (there is no hiding it really) phone is the one that has been designed to bring the fight to...
Design and body, Amazing screen, Nokia HERE maps, Video function, Battery life, MicroSD card slot
Interface needs more functions that fully exploit the large display, Still photos: inaccurate colours and slow autofocus
With its well-designed body, superb 6" display, exemplary responsiveness and long battery life, Nokia's first phablet is no less than one of the best Windows Phones to date, a good buy if ever there was one. But when it comes to the symbiosis between a bi...

A big, beautiful smartphone with a superb display and camera and good battery life – but it's pricey...
The Nokia Lumia 1520 has got so many things right including build quality, a great camera and a good looking screen. It's the best Windows Phone yet but software is still lacking and we just wish the darn thing was smaller because it's severely off puttin...

So what's the verdict? If you were to not switch it on and just look at the hardware, you'd think it's a winner – great processor, great camera, great build quality and an awesome screen. It feels great to hold.Unfortunately when you switch it on and disc...
The Nokia Lumia 1520 is yet another corker from the Finnish manufacturer. The brand has really pulled it out of the bag this year, with rapid product releases and well-made, well-performing devices.The 1520 is no different. It has a fantastic screen, feel...
Massive, bright and clear display, Impressive camera with fantastic low-light performance, Bristling with power, Top-notch build quality
Apps. Or rather, the lack of them, No special treats to make the most of the big screen, Camera can be slow to shoot
The 1520 is the biggest, most powerful Windows Phone to date, and continues Nokia's legacy of pushing the Windows Phone envelope. While it might not have the large sensor of the Lumia 1020 , its camera is still hugely impressive, producing shots that ar...
Lack of creativity; Bulky square body; Windows Phone rather limited
The screen is crisp and bright, and the 20MP snapper is impressive, although the big screen could do with some creative apps and accessories to show it off.Pros: Bright, sharp display; Roomy desktops; Powerful well-supported snapper; Impressive battery li...
