By now, you’re surely familiar with Nokia’s Lumia range and the clean design language that comes with the name, and that continues with the 1520. It’s the same curved design that we’ve grown to know and love since the Lumia 800 first made its debut in 2011, only it’s been given the super-sized treatment and simply towers over the rest of the range. The 1080p HD display measures up at a potentiall...
The Nokia Lumia is big, but it’s not unwieldy. You’ll look a bit daft holding it to your head to make calls, but if you Snapchat and WhatsApp more than you ring, it’s not a problem.

Samsung’s Galaxy Note phones offer a brilliantly thought out stylus as well as the ability to run two...
The Nokia Lumia 1520 is as good a phablet as Windows Phone could ever offer, make no mistake. On the shop shelf, it’s a far more attractive option than the banal plastic Galaxy Note 3, but as ever, it’s let down by Microsoft’s software, which offers no...
