NOKIA LUMIA 1520
What is the reality about a Windows Devices and an Android Device? only a customized range and variety of gaming and doing complex programming. But we have got a windows phone which can be customized in order to view what you want your phone to be. Why people are rushing back to Android Device despite we have a great view in here is this Nokia Lumia 1520. When I first saw this mobile, I have had nothing to do except to compare it with my Sony Xperia Z1 and here I'm uploading the pic and want you to see what a big bash Nokia has designed in order to confront latest Tablet/Hybrids, smartphone on Android base.
Well, here we talk about Nokia Lumia 1520. Why this device is so large and what kept Nokia thinking to make such a big bash and launch in market?
This Lumia device is huge no doubt and in a same time this is the landmark phone in Windows 8 history. Nokia Lumia 1520 is loaded with customized Apps with power pack 2.3 GHz Snapdragon processor which helps this devices in clicking the pictures and sharing them in couple of seconds. It's has come up with 2GB of RAM, to be honest, I was expecting Nokia to unveil the hard Spec. It was missing in all Lumia Devices since 800 Launched. I guess this phone was Nokia trying to launched a time ago but then would have decided to hold this device as they wanted to design it with mega huge screen 6-Inch, which can be said a truly identical to Phablet.
DESIGN AND FEATURES
The Nokia Lumia 1520 runs on latest Windows OS and also one of the biggest phone Nokia has even made. This Lumia is designed as same as it's predecessors were. It's build up with same plastic which is in contrast of flaunting it's effulgent coating on back panel. The screen in terms of quality and PPI has outrun other devices that's I can assure you. It also fits in a very defined market niche. It's little bulky to handle and intricate to shove in your pockets until ypour jeans and trousers aren't too skinny. But people who can't compromise with their quality of product and big screen to play cock and hen. It's a great device to buy with latest windows OS.
Now, it's hard to hide to size of the device, it's not that thick which I thought of. This device will look huge when you first hold it and once you are in habit, you will find it bulky and intricate to handle quite easy in public place. This is also hard to be used this device as single handed but as far as I'm concerned about the size every phone which has larger screen then Samsung Galaxy S3 is hard to operate by single hand.
Although the back panel is quite effulgent as I said may be not necessarily being seen by you because everything-looks-yellow-to-jaundice-eye, I found this series more effulgent and back panel is shown more flaunting then front. It's a unibody device that means, you may not have a chance to get it's battery out off the phone and it feels lovely in your hands. Still I believe except Nokia, Sony and Apple can make such a flaunting hardware spec and body.
Sim size problem arisen in this device, Nokia used an old tradition to put a Nano sim slot rather than Micro Sim slot. People who are using smartphone almost in every phone I have seen Micro Sim so they may find it difficult to put micro sim in this device or they have to buy the sim as well to operate this device.
DISPLAY
Anyone don't have to recommend any comment on the screen made by Nokia Lumia for this device. Unlike other device this device has IPS rather then AMOLED, However, AMOLED is quite good and more rich in color experience and video streaming and camera rolling but this ain't either bad. It's 6 inch model with the resolution of 1080*1920. Well, I can say there is prominent difference between both the screen but I felt AMOLED has more saturated colors and more dark text then IPS got.
This IPS Screen is rich, colorful and responsive. Most unforgettable thing is
PPI~367, although not higher then my Xperia Z1 but still quality and true colors are appreciable. Although, human eye can't make much more interface far than ~340 PPI but the
Nokia Lumia 1520 has sharp text, enhanced video and photo does look smarter and better. If we take it's size for gaming, video and browsing it seems quite appealing to have such a wonderful big screen. Any sort of Microsoft Office document,
PPT,
XLS and other formats as
PDF,
CHM and
ePUB are identically far enough approachable to be easily operable on this screen. One can use this with graphics and charts that generally don't work with smaller phones.
As earlier I mentioned this is not good as
AMOLED screens are. Since the black text and it's level and contrast are not much deep as AMOLED screen but the
Nokia Lumia 1520 is still good in both perspective.
SPECIFICATION
This device is really an speeding device. Unlike, it's predecessors, it's quad-core processor 2.3 GHZ Snap dragon 800. This is the fastest I have seen in any windows phone The phone completed the Sunspider JavaScript benchmark in an incredibly fast 536ms, which makes it almost twice as quick as the
Nokia Lumia 1020 and
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 in this test, and the quickest phone I've seen in this benchmark bar. I have used the Windows 8 Internet Browser and it is incredibly fast.
Web browsing is a dream on this handset, as the phone almost never hesitates as you zoom in and out and pan around web pages, even complicated graphics-heavy ones. The phone's screen is also large enough, in terms of size and resolution, to read desktop web pages fairly comfortably when fully zoomed out, but, as expected, it's still not quite as easy as reading pages on a 7in or 10in tablet. The only irritation is the way that the Back button behaves. When you're in a web browsing session pressing the button will take you back through your previous pages, as expected, but if you ever go back to the main app screen and then reopen your browser, you will lose the previous pages you visited; the Back button will now only go back to the app tray. You can at least get around this by bringing up the recent pages menu.
I couldn’t run our normal 3DMark benchmark as it's not available for Windows Phone, but I could run the GFXBench T-Rex test in Full HD. The
Nokia Lumia 1520 completed this with an average frame rate of 25fps, which is essentially the same as the 26fps we saw from the Galaxy Note 3. Challenging 3D games such as Halo Spartan Assault run beautifully on the
Nokia Lumia 1520.
Software and Apps
Nokia has been bringing some good and definite app for their customers and add extra software in order to compete in the market.
Nokia Maps being a key software for any Nokia device. You get the different variant of Nokia Maps, Guide, Drive, Navigation. This go strength to strength. Nokia Mix Radio, with all its free track, music mixes and offline support. I have ever seen that the music does operate from skydrive online but here music can be obtained in offline mode. I'm influenced by some incredible apps as Nokia Screen Beamer and HERE Maps. This is evolution of Photo Beamer app earlier was seen in Nokia devices in which you could share the picture in another device, Unlike here what you got on your Nokia Lumia 1520's screen that'w what you can share in here.
What you have to do in order to get it done, Just got to go to beam.nokia.com in other's device web browser, scan the QR code shown in the browser, Your device's screen will be seen in other devices' screen in real time. Well, i should say it's a great way to just share the phone screens without being fussed up with cables and wires.
Offline mapping support earlier we found in Nokia Symbain Devices. I loved to browse Nokia Maps in offline mode with 99.9 percent accuracy in respect to time, distance and speed and accurate road maps until a new construction is made which is unknown to Nokia or their map's developers. You can download the data as many as region you want to download, You can have storage for those maps unlike limited access by Google. HERE Maps are complemented by the HERE drive.
This is generic view, how does HERE maps work?. What i loved about it, Vitally Unlike Google and Apple Map, it lets you download maps offline also and making the navigation far more robust.
Windows Phone 8 is an erratic OS to use, too. In some places it's effortlessly simple and I love its Live Tiles with a slightly unreasonable passion, but in others it over complicates and places simple actions one step further away than is ideal. For example, while it sounds great that the Photos app pulls in photo updates from Twitter and Faebook in the 'What's New' view, I'd sooner just see our own damn photos straightaway.
PERFORMANCE
I have got to say that the phone is really powerful as we compare it with Nokia's predecessors. It's 2.3 GHz quad-core SnapDragon Processor 800 and 2 GB RAM fair enough to regulate high class gaming at full whack. Really games give them a way out. Now I'm going talk about the camera quality which Nokia Lumia 1520 has. No doubt benefit from extra processing power but as usual it's extremely rare that one can use full throttle of the processor.
CAMERA
What the next thing to be discussed is Nokia Lumia 1520's camera. It's a got the Pure View Technology It's lets you capture high quality picture in low light. It has the BSI Sensor (back side illuminated) and optics from Carl Ziess in an occurrence to capture high quality photos in Night light. Here we have the hardware picture from Nokia Lumia 920 the same technology is being depicted in Nokia Lumia 1520.
In this, Nokia Lumia 1520 means you get the 20 MP sensor, compared to 41 MP camera in Nokia Lumia 1020 with this, you also have Nokia Lumia Fancy Pro Cam app. Let me define you what this is all about, This is a well designed camera program which makes it easy to adjust settings and preview the results as well as crop the images non-destructively and pics doesn't demolish as it does in other smart phones. It's big sensor lets you crop the image and zoom it after wards without losing the pixel density and lets you send the picture via emails and upload on Facebook and Twitter pages.
Overall image quality is very good. The
Nokia Lumia 1520 produces daylight pictures with accurate colors and, unlike many smartphone cameras I see, didn’t overexpose the sky in our test shots. It's generally a fine camera, but when zooming in slightly to the brickwork in our test shots I noticed the 1520's images were significantly less sharp than the 1020's, and the reduced resolution evidently cuts down on the amount you can zoom in before you start losing significant amounts of detail. Here I let you the results I have found.

NOKIA CORE PRO
App gives level of control scrappy on other phones. You have full control over all the kinds of things you'll find on advanced dedicated cameras, such as white balance, exposure, ISO and plenty more. What's more, the dial system for tweaking all the above is intuitive and fast. There's exposure bracketing for the truly adventurous, too, while a burst mode (of sorts) lets you create coll looking action photos.
NOKIA REFOCUS
It is amazing feature in camera I have ever discovered. Alike, an SLR camera of Sony, it lets you create a different environment while picking up any shot. You decide how much emphasize you'd like to put in a shot specialy a foreground or background blur technice. Technically and specifically I have seen this feature in optical camera but seldom, in digital camera this feature is ducked. Here I'm showing you the power of this feature.

COLOR PICKER
I have always loved to manage my pictures when I specially emphasize on different colors which let me define my picture in my own style with my own color preferences. Well, lets talk about this feature, It is called color picker or color pop, It's really dramatic and cool app feature, lets you create fun , attractive shots. Only problem I have felt , sometime it finds intricate to emphasize on special color when you zoom in to see pretty small and insignificant objects.
BATTERY LIFE AND CALL SOUND
With a huge 3,400mAh battery to power it, the Nokia Lumia 1520's battery life ought to astound. It isn't quite as good as I initially expected, but it's very good all the same. My day using the Nokia Lumia 1520 started around 7 AM with a full charge. After an hour-long commute listening to music the whole way, browsing the internet and a smattering of photo opportunities, the battery stood at 85%.It was left mostly idle with Wi-Fi on until lunchtime, though I turned off Wi-Fi around 12:00 and took a few test photos. By 1:30 PM it had 60% left, which dropped to 44% by 4 PM after a meeting in which I used evernote to take notes and took some time to rattle off 10 or so more test shots.
Later on I spent an hour or so listening to music with the screen off, which means when I headed home at 6:30 I had 31% left. Post the journey home, where I mostly read a book with a small sprinkling of browsing and gaming, the 1520's battery read 20%. This was enough to last the rest of the evening where it mostly sat idle.
Call quality is sound. The earpiece is loud and precise, with no annoying distortion or compression of voices. I never had any trouble making myself heard, either, even with a moderate amount of background noise. The built-in speaker, however, is poor. It's not very loud and because it's on the back, it's hard to use it as a speakerphone for hands-free calls when you're at home -- something worth considering if you like to use the speakerphone often.
VERDICT
Unlike the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, which ups the phablet game with its stylus and pen-friendly software tweaks, the Lumia 1520 is a simpler device; a Windows Phone 8 handset with a very big, high-resolution screen. It’s a combination that works, though; the Lumia 1520 is fast, beautifully made and has a good screen, so if you fancy a phone/tablet hybrid with Windows Phone 8's advantages of super-fast performance and arguably the best-looking interface out there, it's the handset to buy. It brings Windows Phone hardware on par with the rest of the smartphone world, but the software still needs a bit of work.
I am still wanting to buy this device...:)
