14 DAY TRIAL // The iPhone X is just around the corner and many Apple fanboys already seem to be over the moon with this model, especially because it’s one of the most dramatic overhauls of the device in its history.
On the other hand, Windows phone fans have nothing else to do than look at how those in the Android and iOS ecosystems are having fun, as Microsoft has recently confirmed that no new hardware and features for its mobile platform were planned.
But diehard fans who just don’t want to give up on Windows phones and also don’t want to spend their money on an iPhone X can actually get one of the last flagships released by Microsoft and Nokia. As Neowin spotted, the Lumia 1520 is available right now at Best Buy with a shocking price: $749.99.
While it’s difficult to believe that too many people would spend that much on a Windows phone these days, it’s worth noting that hardcore users still find the Lumia 1520 a worthy device that can easily serve as an alternative to Android and iOS flagships.
Best Buy to also sell the iPhone X
Released in November 2013, the Lumia 1520 comes with a 6-inch screen protected by Gorilla Glass 2 and is powered by a Snapdragon 800 processor paired with 2GB RAM. In terms of camera, the device features a 20-megapixel unit with Carl Zeiss optics.
Best Buy is also selling the iPhone X through Verizon, AT&T and Sprint, and the retail price is $1,099 for the 64GB storage version and $1,249 for the 256GB model. The iPhone X, however, is not yet available and it will go up on pre-order on Friday, while shipments will kick off on November 3.
If you want a device that’s already available and offered at the same price as the Lumia 1520, Best Buy is also offering the Samsung Galaxy S8, which for many people, including Microsoft’s Joe Belfiore himself, is just the perfect choice.
