Using this phone for 3 years now, it's very sturdy and with the WINDOWS 10 Anniversary update, it's superb! Every weakness mentioned in this review were gone, except it's size of course!

Thanks for the review. I HATE getting a new phone, but need to find something to replace my trusty, but aging IPhone 3 (yes, 3)... A score of 8.4 sounds impressive, but what does that really mean? Do you have the points criteria somewhere broken down so I can see where it scored well and where it did not? Thanks.

As a previous Lumia 920 user who upgraded to 925 then finally got the Lumia 1020, All I can say that it seems I got a new addiction, these phones are simply great if not the best among all competitors in terms of quality that includes great photography, wonderful screens, amazing sound quality and much more! However for me and as I'm still addicted to my Lumia 1020 fine outcomes specifying the Camera, sound and Screen, I will be waiting for more Megapixels Lumia phablet to buy at least I can get both more horse power along with ultimate photography. Cheerz! Adel

@TheMayanShaman 10 жыл бұрын

As Michael said, it is the sotware the one draging this phone down. The addition of the SD card is kind of crippled without a proper file explorer. Also the lack of USB host capabilities is another unfortunate limitation of WP8 that push these devices out of power users' radar. This type of devices (phablets) would benefit a lot from having a OS like WinRT which, although not good enough for desktop devices, would certainly make this device far more usable than it is with WP8. Hoperfully, MS may update WP8 to be more like WinRT so these devices are more versatile in the future.

Worth noting this is a review of the inferior AT&T version that has 1/2 the storage and no wireless charging compared to the non-gimped European/Australian version. Also, it has a super sensitive touchscreen that can be used even when wearing gloves which could be a HUGE selling point for anyone living through winters where u don't want your hands freezing off. Its a GREAT phone/phablet. I've had mine for a couple of months and found it VERY VERY difficult to switch back to my 2010 with its 'tiny' 4.5" screen, and its just so more polished design and materials wise than any other device I've used (and I've used a LOT). The OS is also the only mobile OS that feels current in its look and feel. Apple hasn't done jack for years with iOS and android used to and still feels like a barely working collection of disparate parts bolted together.

@andreamangano6059 9 жыл бұрын

I made the same switch. I was a bit scared about it. But now I really like WP and integration between multiple devices (phone, Surface Pro, Notebook). I started with a second hand 925, and I finished just today to buy a 1520. I just sold my 925. I was coming from a Galaxy Note N7000 and I wouldn't buy a Samsung again. The build quality of Nokias/Microsoft is very high. I liked the smaller size of the 925 and portability, but I miss the readability of the phablet size devices and the lack of an external storage slot. So that's why I switched to 1520. I hope to get used by size.

That is a good looking phone for its size. Windows needs to figure out how to utilize that size more. Good thing is that looks like it could be fixed in software updates. The only thing I would worry about is that it never gets a software update. But have to say the home screen does look nice.

That was a very true review. I too am pissed with companies not using the screen size to advantage. I have a note 3 but the UI makes it look like an upsized S4... Thats stupid...Why cant we have more icons on the screen and multi tasking windows at the same time... Atleast this one has a home screen with more tiles, so that we dont have to hunt around. But again just one step in to the UI and again the disappointment creeps in...
