After long wait in the phablet line up of the Windows phone 8 Nokia today announced the Lumia 1520 with a mind-blowing Full HD display. The phone also packs the first ever quad-core processor Snapdragon 800 to used in the Windows mobile platform.
The specs play a crack-a-jack thing in the phone and they Nokia has played it better here by giving Lumia the Snapdragon 800 processor, Adreno 330 graphics(probably), 2GB RAM, Gorilla Glass 2, with a 1080p 6" display with 368 ppi, 3400 mah battery with the device measuring 209 gms in weight, 807mm thickness.
The Lumia 1520 comes with four microphones on board, which not only get used for multimicrophone noise cancellation in calls, but also deliver Nokia's proprietary Rich sound recording.
The Lumia 1520 uses a 26 mm wide angle 20MP PureView camera with 6-lens Zeiss optics and a 1/2.5 inch BSI sensor. The camera has OIS and makes use of oversampling, which results into smaller res photos with less noise and also allows for lossless zooming. There is no xenon flash though, only a Dual LED one. Video recording maxes out at 1080p@30fps.
Nokia has also revamped the Nokia Camera app, integrating the Nokia Smart Camera and the Nokia Pro camera functionality inside the regular camera UI and allowing for a seamless camera mode changing.
The Windows 8 device includes a 3rd tile as compared to previous windows 8 devices having two tiles. Nokia has also developed a new app called Nokia Storyteller. It plots out all the photos you've taken on the HERE map. You can zoom in to specific locations and see the actual photos grouped by date of taking and location. It also integrates all your specialty photos - like cinemagraphs and Action shots (it would even animate the latter).
A new app called Nokia Beamer would also allow you to stream your smartphone's screen to any device with a web browser.
Software-wise, the Nokia Lumia 1520 will come with the latest stuff that Microsoft and Nokia have on offer. It's Windows Phone 8 with a little something called Lumia Black and it includes all the latest software enhancements from both companies. It comes with stuff like Nokia HERE Drive+ with global free turn-by-turn navigation, true offline support and audible speed limit warnings, the new Nokia Camera app, the Nokia Storyteller app, the Nokia Beamer app, but also Microsoft's new suite of Bing apps and customized ringtones for individual contacts, something that hasn't been available on Windows Phone so far. The Lumia Black update premiers on the Nokia 1520, but will be available as an update to other Lumias in the beginning of 2014.
