Wide handset
Underwhelming video recording
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.
Massive, bright and clear display, Impressive camera with fantastic low-light performance, Bristling with power, Top-notch build quality
Apps. Or rather, the lack of them, No special treats to make the most of the big screen, Camera can be slow to shoot
The 1520 is the biggest, most powerful Windows Phone to date, and continues Nokia's legacy of pushing the Windows Phone envelope.While it might not have the large sensor of the Lumia 1020, its camera is still hugely impressive, producing shots that are go...
