Jan 27 2014 By Deepak DhingraThere are no two ways about it – the Lumia 1520 is undoubtedly the best Windows Phone device we’ve ever used. Sure, it’s huge and one-handed usage is an issue, but that comes with the territory and you should know what you’re getting into if you’re considering a device of this size. You can just about cram it into a trouser pocket, but do keep in mind that it does result in an unsightly bulge and could even restrict movement a tad. Priced at Rs 46,999, the Lumia 152
Read Full ReviewNote: This is my first ever review so kindly bare with my language.nnThe Lumia 1520 is my 4th windows phone device. Samsung Focus -> Lumia 800 -> Lumia 920 and now the awesome Lumia 1520.nnFirst of all guys please stop cribbing about windows phone app collection. It has all the necessary apps and more are being added on a daily basis. Yes WP still has some catching up to do but it is getting there fast.nnFor those who feel Windows Phone Operating System is not matured, If you feel so then you have not used a windows phone in person, you are those people who just watch few YouTube videos or so called reviews. The OS is silky smooth and everything is though out well, everything is simple and elegant. nnThe live tiles are beautiful and yes you tend to get bored of the limited collection of accent colours but this will change soon with the newly announced Windows Phone 8.1 update which provides option to toggle between extra columns of tiles and default tile layout. n Also you have an option of setting any image as home screen live tiles background wallpaper which has parallax effect.nnWindows Phone 8.1 is bringing tons of features which are par with android OS.nnNow about the device itself:nn1. The build quality is stunning; I prefer the matt finish polycarbonate to the glossy finish which was the case with my previous Lumia 920.nn2. Phone is very sleek, though on paper its weight may scare you but in person its not that bad. You will get used it to soon as the weight is uniformly distributed.nn3. The size of the phone will really scare you at first, I have above average sized hands so its manageable but many people may find it quite difficult to handle this phone due to its massive footprint.nn4. I am totally in love with this 6” 1080 x 1920 IPS LCD display. It’s great for media consumption the viewing angle is amazing, sun light readability is the best out there; colours look punchy yet not being overly saturated like AMOLED displays. You do get to play with colour saturation and contrast in display settings as per your taste.nn5. The best part of this phone is its massive 3400 mAh battery coupled with the latest low energy consumption Qualcomm snapdragon 800 chipset. You can easily get through a day of heavy usage. (Refer gsmarena.com for the battery rating: It’s the top phone in the list)nn6. The hardware is par with the latest high-end android devices.nn7. Super sensitive touch, inbuilt wireless charging capable, SD card support up to 64 GB (128 GB with WP 8.1 update)nn8. The top feature: The 20 MP Carl Zeiss optics with physical optical image stabilization is one of the best you can find in the market (Yes excluding Nokia's own Lumia 1020 which is in a separate league of its own). This device takes some stunning stills and captures amazing videos.n Nokia Camera app is one of the best out there which is simple easy to use with many manual controls which are only found on Professional DSLRs. n If you have little knowledge re ISO, Shutter speed, exposure you can take some stunning looking shots. I just can’t stop loving this phone's camera and clicking pictures every now and then and I am sure anybody would feel the same with this amazing camera which will only get better with NOKIA's upcoming CYAN firmware update which will be bundled with WP8.1.nn8. Gaming: This device has scored the highest gaming benchmark score compared with any existing devices including Samsung S5 with Qualcomm snapdragon 801 chipset which basically has same adreno 330 GPU as of Qualcomm snapdragon 800 chipset.n The existing games on Windows Phone store are yet to be optimized to take full advantage of this powerful chipset and GPU on Lumia 1520, I am sure developers have already started working on it as more and more Windows Phone devices with quad core chipset are being released Ex: Lumia Icon , Lumia 930 , Samsung ATIV etc.nn9. It has built in free MS Office and Office 365 which really handy/useful especially on this 6" display.nn10. It also comes with whole lot of fun and useful NOKIA applications unlike Samsung gimmicky features.n :Nokia - Cinemagraph, Story teller, Glam me, Mix radio with unlimited legal music downloads for a year, Play to, Refocus etc...nnI can write pages about Windows Phone and my great experience with it, but if did put down everything I am sure nobody would read. So in short...nnI highly recommend this phone if you can manage the size which is really not a problem after using it for 2 weeks now. Once you get used to this beautiful 6" display you wouldn't like to go back, to a smaller screen devices. (I have a yellow Lumia 1520 which I had bought 2 weeks back; this phone is for my friend).nnI hope that I have conveyed my experience and opinions re the device.nnThank You for reading.
I changed a Lumia 920 for this, so the interface was really familiar. As to the phone, I can't say enough about how good it is. Build quality feels dense (like much more solidly built than the 920, which though sturdy felt as if it was hollow. This feels like there's not a millimetre of space inside).nnThe phone, in reviews and photographs, does not look so big. In hand, it's huge and feels more like a tablet and less like a phone. For me that was a plus, as it's a secondary device which I use for media consumption. For others, maybe half an inch smaller and it'd be perfect. Having said that, I have no complaints.nnProcessor is zippy, calls are clear, memory is huge, camera is better than the competition, screen's great and battery has to be experienced to be believed. Did I leave anything out?nnOK, the fanboyism done with, here's the negative aspect. I woke up and found the screen with a hair line crack in it. This was my two day old phone. It was not a result of physical damage, as those cracks would smash/ spider the screen. This was a fine straight crack. In my opinion, this was just poor QC on the part of Nokia. If the glass has micro fractures in it during manufacturing, it can lead to spontaneous cracks over time. This was the first time it ever happened to me, and on searching the web, I found similar complaints, especially with Samsung devices. I hope Nokia is not heading down the Samsung road.nnThat done with, Props to Flipkart for a no hassle, speedy return and refund. And for that, even though the phone failed. it was a great experience, and has made me more appreciative of Flipkart. The phone and the merchant's behaviour. I'll definitely get another 1520 and hope it was a one off freak incident.
