Microsoft’s Windows Phone OS has always been the underdog in the mobile market, commanding only a small percentage of the market share, as opposed to Android and Apple. However, while the saving grace of Windows Phone in other countries has been the cheap mid level phones like the Lumia 520 and 620, Microsoft and Nokia can boast about some really high end, premium phones that pose a solid competition to the best Android and Apple have to offer.
One of the best handsets available to Windows Phone is the Nokia Lumia 1520. This beast of a phone has a 6 inch display screen at full 1080p with a ClearBlack, IPS LCD screen. Nokia paired this massive phone, brilliant screen with a 20 megapixel camera capable of taking amazing photos at low light, something many of the latest Lumia handsets have been boasting over other brands. The processor is a quad-core Snapdragon 800 at 2.2 GHz and 2 GB of RAM, more than enough power for multitasking and running some really beautiful mobile games like Asphalt 8.
Of course, Microsoft’s focus on this phone was to emphasize the ability of the Nokia Lumia 1520 to get work done, and they did exactly that with this design. The Lumia 1520 is a solid, hefty device, weighing in at 206 grams at 162.8mm x 85.4mm x 8.7mm, making this phone a beast to hold. The Corning Gorilla Glass 2 and polycarbonite non removable shell makes it very resistant to drops and scratches, allowing people to take it anywhere and in relatively extreme conditions. The battery is a 3400 mAh battery that will last about 12 hours with continual use, plenty for a normal 8 hour work day. It also is able to be charged via a wireless charger pad or the traditional microUSB charger adapter. Storage on the Nokia Lumia 1520 is a breeze, as it comes with up to 32 GB of onboard storage and has a microSD card for additional memory expansion.
Contributing even more to the Nokia Lumia 1520’s ability to get work done is Microsoft’s recently released Windows Phone 8.1, which takes full advantage of all the glorious screen real estate on this phone. The iconic Start Menu can hold up to 3 columns of medium sized icons, allowing for more on the starting screen for more convenience. Icons can also be grouped together in folders. Windows Phone 8.1 brings many customization options to Windows Phone such as a customizable Start Screen, more options for Glance and Lock Screen features, and tighter integration of Skype. Windows Store is home to a growing number of apps, including many popular apps like Instagram and Spotify. Not to mention Cortana, Windows Phone’s new voice assistant, capable of setting reminders, checking traffic, weather, organizing personal data, and being assigned time-relative tasks. The Lumia 1520 is truly one of the best experiences one can hope to have with Windows Phone 8.1 without sacrificing specs or aesthetic design.
All in all, the Nokia Lumia 1520 is a beautifully designed phone that is relatively cheap this season, as it can be gotten for as low as $99 with a 2 year service plan at AT&T, or for free with AT&T’s Next Plan. Consider buying this solid phone with its impressive camera, 6 inch screen, and powerful quad core processor for someone who needs a strong, portable, but efficient phone that puts productivity over everything else.
