Nokia, the world’s largest vendor of mobile phones from
1998 to 2012 and the second mobile phone manufacturer after Samsung has
introduced its largest Smartphone in Lumia series – Nokia Lumia 1520.
Nokia Lumia 1520
has it display size to be 6inch. And like every other windows phone available
up to date, the 1520 doesn’t offer stylus. It is relatively thin for a phablet
at 8.7mm, 1.59mm thinner than HTC One Max and only marginally thicker than the
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (8.3mm).
Although, the Smartphone is not bigger than 6inch screen,
it is too big to comfortably fit into pocket, which could cause an issue.
The front of the device is dominated by a 6in full
high-definition screen, which is sharp, vibrant and very good looking. Text
appears crisp on websites and documents, with images richly coloured and
detailed. The large screen is great for sharing videos too: viewing angles
are really wide. See the full specifications below…
