Nokia Lumia 1520

[bitwise]

Was surprised there's still no thread for it.

Available in Singapore and other parts of the world this Q4!

From WPCentral:

The Lumia 1520 is Nokia’s high-end ‘phablet’ Windows Phone released in early November, 2013. Featuring a 6-inch 1080 display and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 2.2GHz quad-core CPU, the Lumia 1520 is Nokia’s first Update 3 device featuring the Lumia ‘Black’ firmware, a rolling cover and a 20 MP camera with a f/2.0 lens. The device also has 32 GB of internal storage and it can take up to 64 GB of external memory (microSD).

The Lumia 1520 has a massive 3400 mAh battery life for an estimated 25 hours talk time and 2GB of RAM, making it one of the more powerful Lumias to date. Compared to other Lumias, the 1520 also has 4 High-amplitude audio capture (HAAC) microphones on board to give it excellent audio fidelity on calls and while recording videos.

The Lumia 1520 will also feature a new Refocus Lens and StoryTeller apps from Nokia and it comes in four colors, including yellow, white, black and glossy red.

The third row of extra live tiles makes the whole windows phone 8 OS so much accessible without going through the app list, tempting but I already have the 1020

yeah knw what you mean.. If the 1020 gets the third row of live tiles, it'd be perfect!

1520 looks great, can't wait to see the actual product in hand.

One thing I really like about this beast is the display.. The viewing angle is incredible! Plus fHD 1080P.. Definitely a display I'd wanna watch my movies on.

[kelvinti]

Finally Nokia has gotten my attention after all these years of Lumia series!

This could will be my very first Lumia phone during Xmas!

I love the 6" big screen, and I love the White one!

Guys, if you did watch the annoucement, Steven elope mentioned Singapore in the first batch.

we will even get it before the Germans

 

[Vincent_G]

Yeah, it seems Singapore will be one of country first in the world to get this. Happy, but my contract is not due before Dec, which I believe same as all the first owner of Lumia 920..

Finally an worthy upgrade from 920!! Everything is improved, with built-in wireless charging!

Yap, am surprised how they packed the built-in wireless charging into that slim frame, considering that was supposedly what made the 920 bulky?

I guess since the phone is much bigger, they were able to distribute the components more

LCD panel The 920 requires another frame inside the phone to support that, instead of having the screen and glass together.

This is actually the best phablet I've seen with a good camera. Check out HTC One Max (No OIS, 4MP), Sony Xperia Z Ultra (No OIS, ridiculously small sensor, 8MP yet overcompressed, too noisy, & too slow), Note III (still average).

There seems to be a trend of OEMs cutting down on camera with it comes to big screen.

Nokia should advertise this hard, and compare against the horrible quality of other phablets as a selling point.

Yeah I hope 1020 gets it! Saw a post by joe belfiore saying that it's not the screen resolution that allows for third row of tiles but the screen size that matters. Let's hope nokia feels that 4.5 inches is enough to convince them to allow 3 rows or tiles on our 1020

Just afraid that having the 3rd column will results in much smaller tiles and difficult to tap onto. Hope that it will be an option for individual to turn on / off with the 3rd column though.

L1520 look impressive, if it packed with L1020's 41mp camera inside, I will buy it.

Too bad, will skip it & will still go for L1020 instead.
