The 5.0 MP camera in this phablet is, as expected from the Lumia series, good. The Lumia 1320, bundled with a 3400mAh battery, represents the best deal of the bunch.

The Lumia 1520 is Nokia’s high-end “phablet” and a powerhouse of productivity, featuring a six inch 1080p display, and a qualcomm snapdragon 800 2.2 GHz Quad-core CPU powering it. The Lumia 1520 is Nokia’s first update 3 device featuring the Lumia “Black” firmware, a rolling cover and a 20 MP camera with a F/2.0 lens which gives you a clear shot. The device also has a 32 GB of internal storage, expandable to 64GB, which will give you enough space. Aa 2 GB of RAM, making multi-tasking an easy affair. Also, the 1520 has a massive 3400 mAh battery.

Compared to Lumias, the 1520 has 4 high-amplitude audio capture (HAAC) microphones on board to give it excellent audio fidelity, on calls and while recording videos. Lumia 1520 also features a new refocus lens and several productivity apps from NOKIA.

It is available in 4 colours including yellow, white, black and glossy red.

The kicker is that both 1520 and 1320 both support 4G LTE and HSPA+ connectivity. And both of have NFC and DLNA which will make sharing fun.
