Nokia Lumia 1520

A few moments ago from Abu Dbahi this year's Nokia World began, an event that the Finns had been preparing for a long time and in which they intend to show us the mobiles with which they will conclude this 2013.

One of these --and I think we've talked about the most-- is the Nokia Lumia 1520, a terminal with which they want to come face to face with the current phablet market with the help of Windows Phone 8 and some other unique software and hardware features. Let's see what it offers us.

Design & Display

The design of the Nokia Lumia 1520 we see that it has the lines of what Nokia has accustomed us to, but now it follows the design of the Lumia 925 and leaves aside what they showed us with the Lumia 920 and with the Lumia 1020 because it eliminates those cuts on the upper and lower sides, going on to carry much more defined corners.

If we talk about numbers, we are looking at 162.8 x 85.4 x 8.7 millimeters in size with a weight of 209 grams.

We turn to the screen and there we will come across a six-inch , this being the one chosen to introduce Windows Phone and Nokia in the phablet market. For said diagonal they could not opt ​​for any other resolution than one of 1920 x 1080 pixels, being the same the first terminal of the firm to include it. The screen enjoys technologies such as ClearBlack, high brightness mode, and high sensitivity, a Gorilla Glass 2 cover cannot be missing.

Internal Hardware

To move such a number of pixels and information on the screen, a powerful SoC could not be missing, in this case Nokia chose to include the latest Qualcomm hardware, I'm talking about a Snapdragon 800 consisting of a 2.2 GHz quad-core processor plus an Adreno 330 GPU.

This SoC, in addition to providing power to the device --which I emphasize will be necessary to move so many pixels-- will allow it to carry an LTE connection. Its RAM memory remains at 2GB, and its storage in a single 32GB option but that could be expanded via microSD.

Taking advantage of such a diagonal, a large-capacity battery would have to be included, and if so, a 3400 mAh battery is included that would allow tremendous hardware to be moved, it also has the possibility of charging wirelessly since it is compatible with the Qi standard.

The PureView drops to 20 megapixels

On the photographic side, Nokia cannot miss out on all the fame and reference that it has been gaining with PureView technology and that is why in this mobile it decides to include a 20-megapixel sensor, there are signed optics by ZEISS, the ever-handy optical image stabilizer, a dual-LED flash, and up to 2x zoom.

Video recording stays at 1080p at thirty frames per second with high-quality audio recording thanks to the inclusion of four microphones for noise reduction. On the front is a 1.2-megapixel wide-angle camera.
