Nokia Lumia 1520: Battery, Calling and Sound quality and Miscellaneous

With the presence of a massive 3,400mAh battery, it is expected that the in-device juice will be quite a bit. And although the battery might dissapoint you sometimes, on an overall scale it's quite a great deal. For us, we got somewhere around 25 hours in 2G mode and another 20 hours in 3G mode. And for our liking, its quite a great deal for a device also offering great phone service in stand-by.

Apart from that, the device's ear-piece is quite loud and accurate without any real problems or distortions. The built-in speaker, however, is not up to the mark and can be quite a problematic ordeal for someone looking for a hands-free experience.

Also, the device's battery isn't replaceable and can be a huge problem for anyone looking to fit the phone with a different battery if he or she runs out of juice via the first one.

Conclusion

The Nokia Lumia 1520 is a great phone with impressive features and great facilities. But we feel that it has not been made for everyone's use. It is, by every standards, a large phone. But that largeness may not be of everyone's liking - and this may or may not become a hurdle for the device in its financial expectations.

Apart from that, the presence of Windows Phone 8 may also make a few people skeptical as this is primarily the age of Android and iOS. And people who have been using Android devices for a long time now will easily find it problematic to get used to its features.
