As Nokia puts it, with Lumia 1520, “you will enjoy a 20-megapixel PureView camera with optical image stabilization, enhanced sensor technology, oversampling and outstanding zoom capabilities.”
The camera will record videos with better audio quality than before, courtesy of four directional stereo microphones built into the smartphone, also a first for Nokia.
Lumia 1520 also comes with a microSD memory card slot for expansion purposes, as well as with support for 4G LTE networks, and a built-in GPS receiver. Furthermore, it sports the entire range of usual connectivity options and sensors.
“And, let’s not forget that the Lumia 1520 comes with Microsoft Office built in, so you have the flexibility to work when you need to; and it includes a massive battery with integrated wireless charging (Qi compatible),” Nokia Conversations also notes.
Running under the latest flavor of Windows Phone 8, Nokia Lumia 1520 also offers support for the multitude of applications available for download through the Windows Phone Store.
