OS & PROCESSOR: The latest Phablet is running windows phone’s latest windows 8 system software for its flagship phablet with a 2GB Ram onboard and this would help’s in processing features faster, it runs quad core 2.2 GHz krait 400, a RAM of 2GB with an internal memory of 32GB, that hasn’t changed from the Lumia 1020 a microSD that supports up to 64GB. This phablet also includes adreno 330 for its GPU and 7GB free sky drive storage.

BODY: For the specs it has 162.8 x 8.7mm, 120.3cc (6.41 x 3.36 x 0.34 in) and weighs 209g which is 79g more heavier than a Google Nexus 5 and Samsung Galaxy S4. Wow! S4 and Nexus 5 have the same weight.
INTERNET AND CONNECTIONS: Innovation for the network and its radio it handles includes Bluetooth 4.0, a super fast 4G network connection and near field communication NFC just like the Z30, galaxy Note 3, Sony Xperia z1, galaxy S4, a nexus 5 and so many other smart phones, Wi-Fi of 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, dual band and Wi-Fi hotspot, that’s cool.
BATTERY: The battery handles an integrated (non removal) Li-ion 3400 mAH battery with wireless charging which is bigger than the one on the BlackBerry Z30 and higher than the one on Sony Xperia Z1 which holds 3000 mAH battery. Going great for Nokia.
SCREEN: The screen is 6.0 inches and a 1080 x 1920 IPS LCD capacitive touch screen with multi touch features, to protect the screen Microsoft also added a corning gorilla glass 2. The screen has a clear Black display which is great and similar to the lumia 2520. Who wouldn’t want a clear display?
PRICE: For the price it would be around $750 according to Nokia excluding tax, I will get you the price when it’s available in Nigeria which is likely to cost around N144, 000 to N165, 000. Woo! Expensive right? Tell me in the comments.

Hey Ali,
Thanks for bring us nokia 1520 specifications. I know it is probably a NOKIA is smart enough to deal with best smartphones. And really 20 MP camera is just awesome.
But reason why I hate NOkia is due to its OS.. And also that is the fact that made NOKIA to give up. Hope Nokia 1520 Model would Surely grow up and continue its brand.
I really hope the same for Nokia and Microsoft, the 20MP camera onboard is astonishing. what excites me more is the lumia 1020 41MP camera.
I actually love the windows phone OS, I still own a smartphone running the OS, though I prefer android. Thanks for your time.
Nice phome with awesome features. Its really worth the price.
Interesting review.Thanks for sharing this.
Hello Ali,
The features are quite impressive but the price is certainly out of this world! For $750, is it not smarter to simply get an iPhone?
BTW, I love photography…that 20 points camera is something to die for!
Thanks for sharing…do have a great week ahead!
I agree with you, I would go for the iPhone 5s instead, It has more features.
