If that's what you want

It's very nice

Hollow sounding speaker
AT&T debuts the Lumia 1520 with just 16 GB of internal storage and removes Qiwireless charging to make the device less spectacular. No stylus limits productivity and the sixinch display may be too much for some consumers
AT&T's shenanigans
Too big—way too big
Windows Phone is still a work in progress
And you'll have to be patient
Its size makes one-handed operation difficult
And call quality was muddier than on most Nokia phones. Limited voice dictation and voice assistance in the OS hobbles its usefulness as a phablet
Camera's rather slow. Comically huge. In the end
Just a big phone
Hard to hold with one hand
Limited app selection
This is a huge phone! Windows app store selection is getting better but still doesn't match Android and IOS selection
Third-party apps need some fostering
Not as mature as iOS and Android. Camera is good but 20 megapixel camera equally competes with iPhone and high end Androids
Too big for some hands/pockets
Windows Phone OS still lacks apps
Windows Phone doesn't take advantage of the big screen
No HD content from Xbox Video
Slow camera
Massive sized phone for no compelling reason
Poorly designed right buttons
Lack of support for Qi charging
Limited 12 GB available internal storage memory
Pricing and availability
AT&T yet again scores another exclusive and with that comes the inabil
Slightly bigger than other 6inch screen phablets. Polycarbonate body feels cheap. Design doesn't stand out. At all
App options still relatively low on WP as compared to iOS and Android
Lack of Google apps and a unified notification centre may sour the deal
Requires connivance with the devil to buy
Cumbersome hardware
Software doesn't take full advantage of large screen size
Windows Phone is coming due for a refresh
Still lacking some apps
Call quality poor at times
Windows Phone 8 can feel overbearing
App selection still lacking compared to iOS and Android
Can't replace battery
Can't remove back
Huge handset isn't for everyone. Windows Phone generally isn't optimized for the large display. No stylus support.
You can find the Nokia Lumia 1520 for about Rs 45,000 in the online and retail market, which makes it most expensive Lumia currently available. It's tough to choose between this and the Lumia 1020 as both are equally good when it comes to the display qual...

It has a good display, Hardware is top notch, Performance is smooth
Large size might be uncomfortable at times, Lack of enough apps ready for HD display, Camera experience could be zippier

Good, Excellent screen, High-quality camera for stills and video, Powerful components
Interface not optimised for the big screen, Uncomfortable grip
If you want a Windows Phone with a supersized high-resolution screen, this is currently the only game in town. Nokia is the only manufacturer truly committed to Windows Phone, and with its acquisition by Microsoft now complete, it's unlikely that any othe...
Superb display, Excellent performance, Excellent Camera, Solid Build Quality, Superb audio quality, Great for media consumption
Lack of popular apps and games, Heavy, big and tough to handle, Lacks file-manager, no notification center – all cons of Windows Phone OS, For its price, you get Galaxy Note 3 which offers a lot of software features and S-Pen,
The Nokia Lumia 1520 is definitely a foot in the right direction from both Nokia and Microsoft and as a package, the Nokia Lumia 1520 is quite impressive. When the Windows Phone App store catches up with Android and iOS, this will definitely be a phone...

Abstract: We've done our fair share of head-to-head articles this year, but there's no better way of completing it than by seeing the two most powerful phablet beasts stand against each other. It's the Sherlock Holmes against Professor Moriarty of the mobile wo...
The Nokia Lumia 1520 is the company's first phablet but we're not saying that to set the scene for a softer verdict. On the contrary, an evolutionary leap for Windows Phone in terms of both hardware and software, the Lumia 1520 is a phablet worth having...
