Nokia the Finnish Mobile manufacture that pulled out of Japan years
ago is back in the Smartphone ecosystem. This time Nokia release
Lumi 1520 that was out globally on November 22nd, 2013 is now in
stock at our Expansys Hong Kong warehouse. Nokia Lumia 1520 is
actually a phablet in size and one of few Windows 8(phone) devices
for smartphones currently available.
The Nokia 1520 display is around 15.5 cm (height) x 8.53 cm (width)
x 0.86 cm(thickness) screen allows it to display bigger font size
Windows interface.
Nokia Lumia 1520 has Windows 8 (phone) installed, and on of the
great things about using a Windows OS rather than an Android or i0S
is that the windows design is very simple. It uses f Flat design
which is the latest User Experience design trend used by mobile
websites.The app icons are very big and all functions are available
all on the front screen, so its not necessary to skim through the
interface to get what you want like the android OS, that means
quicker access to phone functions.
If you compare the actual size of this monster of a phone its
slightly smaller than the Sony Xperia Z ultra, and much smaller
than the Apple iPad Mini.
The phablet size I believe suits business people
very much, and I think this was the main target users for
Nokia.
Features of Nokia 1520
Some of the greatest features of using Nokia Lumia 1520 is not just
the massive size but the Windows Mobile interface and windows apps
that comes built in.
Skydrive Office 365 by Microsoft
One of key features is the Skydrive access for Office 365 by
Microsoft , the cloud based office version best suiting
portable users.
To use this feature on your phone you will need to create a MSN
account or hotmail address. All of your folders and files on the
Skydrive ( a cloud storage folder) allows you to create and store
Word, Excel, Powerpoint and note files.
What I would normally do is create a word document on the cloud
using my hotmail account from the Desktop PC and then on the way
home or in the train commuting to work I find the Nokia Lumia 1520
to be suitable for viewing or reading the document rather than
creating from scratch. As it is still a phablet device, its much
more convenient to edit changes to your documents or presentation
while on business trips.
20mega pixel Camera
Camera features include video recording, auto focus, digital zoom,
flash (Dual LED), contact pictures, secondary camera 1.2
megapixels.
We tried to test the Nokia Lumia 1520 camera compared to iPad mini
retina and Sony Xperia and you can see the difference with the 3
photos taken.
With a 20 Mega pixel lens its actually amazing the difference you
get. And Windows phone (8) app for camera allows you to quickly
organize your photos.
Here it comes to the answers what makes Nokia Lumia 1520 special?
Size, Camera ability, Windows 8 and Office 365 making it a phone
much suited for business people.
