We’re happy to announce that we will be stocking the Nokia Lumia 1520, unlocked and sim-free, here at Mobile Fun.
If you didn’t read the announcement post yesterday, the Lumia 1520 is new Windows Phone that’s a lot different than what we’ve seen before, both from Microsoft and from Nokia.
The Lumia 1520 is a 6″ phablet, similar in size to the Galaxy Note 3, HTC One Max and Xperia Z Ultra. The 1080p resolution screen looks gorgeous, with that extra space put to good use – you’ll have a third column of live tiles on the home screen, and much more screen real estate in all apps. Like the Lumia 720, the phone is available in a bunch of great colours, including yellow, red, white and black. This is the very first phablet that Nokia has produced, but the Finnish team’s flair for design has kept them in good stead here.
The 1520 has some killer hardware specifications to match that big design, with a Snapdragon 800 processor, 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal storage. It’s the most powerful Windows Phone ever, and finally allows Windows Phone to stand up to the very best of Android.
Photography is also a big focus for the Lumia 1520. On the back you’ll find a 20 megapixel PureView camera, which is better than almost anything else on the maret – apart from Nokia’s own designated cameraphone, the Lumia 1020, with its 41 megapixel sensor. This camera is paired with a new app, which allows you to refocus shots after you’ve taken them, just like the innovative Lytro camera. It’s a cool effect, and definitely opens the door to even more photographic opportunities.
The Lumia 1520 is an amazing phone, and we can’t wait to give it a try ourselves! We don’t yet have a firm price or release date, but we’re expecting this premium device to be available just in time for the winter holidays.
