Nokia the Finnish Mobile manufacture that pulled out of Japan years ago is back in the Smartphone ecosystem. This time Nokia release Lumi 1520 that was out globally on November 22nd, 2013 is now in stock at our Expansys Hong Kong warehouse. Nokia Lumia 1520 is actually a phablet in size and one of few Windows 8(phone) devices for smartphones currently available



The Nokia 1520 display is around 15.5 cm (height) x 8.53 cm (width) x 0.86 cm(thickness) screen allows it to display bigger font size Windows interface.





Nokia Lumia 1520 has Windows 8 (phone) installed, and on of the great things about using a Windows OS rather than an Android or i0S is that the windows design is very simple. It uses f Flat design which is the latest User Experience design trend used by mobile websites.The app icons are very big and all functions are available all on the front screen, so its not necessary to skim through the interface to get what you want like the android OS, that means quicker access to phone functions.

If you compare the actual size of this monster of a phone its slightly smaller than the Sony Xperia Z ultra, and much smaller than the Apple iPad Mini.


The phablet size I believe suits business people very much, and I think this was the main target users for Nokia.



Features of Nokia 1520
Some of the greatest features of using Nokia Lumia 1520 is not just the massive size but the Windows Mobile interface and windows apps that comes built in.

Skydrive Office 365 by Microsoft
One of key features is the Skydrive access for Office 365 by Microsoft , the cloud based office version best suiting portable users.


What I would normally do is create a word document on the cloud using my hotmail account from the Desktop PC and then on the way home or in the train commuting to work I find the Nokia Lumia 1520 to be suitable for viewing or reading the document rather than creating from scratch. As it is still a phablet device, its much more convenient to edit changes to your documents or presentation while on business trips.


20mega pixel Camera


Camera features include video recording, auto focus, digital zoom, flash (Dual LED), contact pictures, secondary camera 1.2 megapixels.


We tried to test the Nokia Lumia 1520 camera compared to iPad mini retina and Sony Xperia and you can see the difference with the 3 photos taken


With a 20 Mega pixel lens its actually amazing the difference you get. And Windows phone (8) app for camera allows you to quickly organize your photos.

So what makes Nokia Lumia 1520 special? Size, Camera ability, Windows 8 and Office 365 making it a phone much suited for business people.
