The latest Lumia 1520 is an excellent example of Nokia's endeavor which shows that the once no. 1 mobile manufacturer is again moving towards the right direction. </div> <div> </div> <div> The 6-inch Nano-SIM 1520 marks Nokia’s first entry into the increasingly popular "phablet" category. Powered by a Quad-core 2.2 GHz Krait 400 processor which uses Qualcomm MSM8974 Snapdragon 800 chipset, the phablet runs on Microsoft Windows Phone 8 Black operating system. The powerful processor coupled with Adreno 330 GPU and 2 GB RAM can handle any power-hungry application or video game very easily. The processing speed is blazing fast and users can also experience smooth multitasking. </div> <div> </div> <div> The handset's IPS LCD capacitive touch screen (with 16:9 aspect ratio) features full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution and 368 ppi pixel density. Images and videos come out vibrantly sharp and pleasantly bright as Lumia 1520 sports Nokia's ClearBlack multi-touch display. Due to this the screen's black levels are amazingly deep resulting in vibrant vivid colors, exceptional contrast and high brightness mode that gives above par outdoor visibility. Users need not to worry much about display's protection as the phablet's screen is well-covered by Corning Gorilla Glass 2 alkali-aluminosilicate sheet. The unibody polycarbonate shell of Lumia 1520 offers high grade protection to the device. </div> <div> </div> <div> However, the big dimensions (162.8 x 85.4 x 8.7 mm, 120.3 cc) make it uncomfortable to use the phablet with single hand. Similarly, on a less positive note, the weight of Lumia 1520 (209 grams) feels heavy to carry. Nevertheless, 1520 can be counted among the best in the business if it is considered as "bigger the better." </div> <div> </div> <div> On the camera front the phablet scores the highest. It is among the best in camera phone category with its 20 megapixel PureView snapper. Its camera is certainly incomparable to Nokia Lumia 1020 which sports an award-winning 40 MP camera. However, the dual-LED flash Carl Zeiss autofocus camera of Lumia 1520 captures amazingly high-quality images that come into life with superb colour combinations. When compared to other phones with high-end cameras, low-light images also look remarkable. The camera is operated through the “Nokia Camera” application. The app is quite notable as it has automatic mode which provides a simple interface for quick capturing of high-quality images. Accordingly, a "Pro" mode (for manually tuning basic camera-features such as ISO, white balance and shutter speed) and “Smart” mode (for snapping a series of 10 images in less than 3 seconds) are also present. </div> <div> </div> <div> Likewise, there is another camera app called the “Nokia Refocus” which uses a technology to create photos that mimic a Lytro camera (a light-field camera that uses a microlens array to capture 4D light field information about a scene). Lastly, the phablet has another new app called “Nokia Storyteller” which reads GPS location data from the photos and videos users have taken and puts them on Nokia’s HERE maps in a interactive interface. The rear camera can capture 1080p HD videos at 30 frames-per-second. The front-facing 1.2 MP snapper is also good for taking 720p videos @30fps. </div> <div> </div> <div> The sound quality of the phablet is amazing as it offers Dolby Headphone Sound Enhancement system. Be it for listening songs, FM radio or watching videos, the earbuds let users hear refined quality sounds along with active noise cancellation for the microphone. On the power backup front, the phablet is pretty strong with its 3,400 mAh non-removable Li-Ion battery. In terms of storage capacity, Lumia 1520 comes in two variants- 16 GB and 32 GB. There is a microSD card slot which can be used to further expand its storage up to 64 GB. </div> <div> </div> <div> Loaded with high-end internet and other latest connectivity options, Lumia 1520 is a premium handset which is the most impressive Windows Phone till date. Neoteric Nepal, the authorised distributor of Nokia mobiles for Nepal has priced the phablet at Rs 77,400.

With its new flagship product- LG G2, the company seems to have taken more time in carefully designing and packing loads of features into a smartphone. In terms of hardware specifications, the G2 is among the most powerful smartphones that money can buy. The phone is powered by a quad-core 2.26 GHz Krait 400 processor clocked at 2.26GHz which uses the latest Qualcomm MSM8974 Snapdragon 800 chipset.

G2 uses Graphic RAM (GRAM) technology that claims to reduce the display´s energy use by 25 percent. On top of Android Jelly Bean 4.2.2 OS, G2 runs on LG's Optimus UI. The OS has its own unique customizations with features like guest mode (multiple user option) and KnockON (unlock/lock phone with a double tap on the screen) among others.

Audio Zoom is another special feature which lets users zero in on a sound source, simply by zooming in on the subject while shooting a video.

The unibody polycarbonate shell of Lumia 1520 offers high grade protection to the device. </div> <div> </div> <div> However, the big dimensions (162.8 x 85.4 x 8.7 mm, 120.3 cc) make it uncomfortable to use the phablet with single hand. Similarly, on a less positive note, the weight of Lumia 1520 (209 grams) feels heavy to carry. Nevertheless, 1520 can be counted among the best in the business if it is considered as "bigger the better." </div> <div> </div> <div> On the camera front the phablet scores the highest. It is among the best in camera phone category with its 20 megapixel PureView snapper. Its camera is certainly incomparable to Nokia Lumia 1020 which sports an award-winning 40 MP camera. However, the dual-LED flash Carl Zeiss autofocus camera of Lumia 1520 captures amazingly high-quality images that come into life with superb colour combinations. When compared to other phones with high-end cameras, low-light images also look remarkable. The camera is operated through the “Nokia Camera” application. The app is quite notable as it has automatic mode which provides a simple interface for quick capturing of high-quality images. Accordingly, a "Pro" mode (for manually tuning basic camera-features such as ISO, white balance and shutter speed) and “Smart” mode (for snapping a series of 10 images in less than 3 seconds) are also present. </div> <div> </div> <div> Likewise, there is another camera app called the “Nokia Refocus” which uses a technology to create photos that mimic a Lytro camera (a light-field camera that uses a microlens array to capture 4D light field information about a scene). Lastly, the phablet has another new app called “Nokia Storyteller” which reads GPS location data from the photos and videos users have taken and puts them on Nokia’s HERE maps in a interactive interface. The rear camera can capture 1080p HD videos at 30 frames-per-second. The front-facing 1.2 MP snapper is also good for taking 720p videos @30fps. </div> <div> </div> <div> The sound quality of the phablet is amazing as it offers Dolby Headphone Sound Enhancement system. Be it for listening songs, FM radio or watching videos, the earbuds let users hear refined quality sounds along with active noise cancellation for the microphone. On the power backup front, the phablet is pretty strong with its 3,400 mAh non-removable Li-Ion battery. In terms of storage capacity, Lumia 1520 comes in two variants- 16 GB and 32 GB. There is a microSD card slot which can be used to further expand its storage up to 64 GB. </div> <div> </div> <div> Loaded with high-end internet and other latest connectivity options, Lumia 1520 is a premium handset which is the most impressive Windows Phone till date. Neoteric Nepal, the authorised distributor of Nokia mobiles for Nepal has priced the phablet at Rs 77,400.

With the primary camera, the G2 records 1080p videos at 60 fps along with the front camera shooting full HD videos at 30 fps. Physical buttons are absent throughout the sides.

Powered by a Quad-core 2.2 GHz Krait 400 processor which uses Qualcomm MSM8974 Snapdragon 800 chipset, the phablet runs on Microsoft Windows Phone 8 Black operating system. The powerful processor coupled with Adreno 330 GPU and 2 GB RAM can handle any power-hungry application or video game very easily.

With its new flagship product- LG G2, the company seems to have taken more time in carefully designing and packing loads of features into a smartphone. In terms of hardware specifications, the G2 is among the most powerful smartphones that money can buy. The phone is powered by a quad-core 2.26 GHz Krait 400 processor clocked at 2.26GHz which uses the latest Qualcomm MSM8974 Snapdragon 800 chipset. Similarly, with LPDDR3 2 GB RAM and Adreno 330 GPU, G2 can handle most of the heavy tasks very easily. Be it high-end mobile gaming or multitasking, the phone runs smoothly without showing any sign of snag. </div> <div> </div> <div> The G2 sports a 5.2 inch True HD-IPS + LCD capacitive touch screen protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 2.

With 442 ppi pixel density, its screen has a resolution of 1080 X 1980 pixels which gives vibrant and crisp display. G2 uses Graphic RAM (GRAM) technology that claims to reduce the display´s energy use by 25 percent. On top of Android Jelly Bean 4.2.2 OS, G2 runs on LG's Optimus UI. The OS has its own unique customizations with features like guest mode (multiple user option) and KnockON (unlock/lock phone with a double tap on the screen) among others. G2's build is excellent as it has a high-gloss plastic body. The phone feels lighter in hand weighing just 143 grams. </div> <div> </div> <div> G2 houses a powerful camera system. A 13 megapixel snapper sits on its back while the front side sports a 2.1 MP secondary shooter. Both cameras can be activated simultaneously.

With the primary camera, the G2 records 1080p videos at 60 fps along with the front camera shooting full HD videos at 30 fps. Physical buttons are absent throughout the sides. Strangely, it houses all the buttons (power key and volume rocker) at the back of the phone, just below the secondary camera. Users can have awesome sound experience with G2 as it is packed with Dolby mobile sound enhancement. Audio Zoom is another special feature which lets users zero in on a sound source, simply by zooming in on the subject while shooting a video. The phone also houses a stereo FM radio with RDS.</div> <div> </div> <div> On the power backup front, the phone has 3,000 mAh battery.

The latest Lumia 1520 is an excellent example of Nokia's endeavor which shows that the once no. 1 mobile manufacturer is again moving towards the right direction. </div> <div> </div> <div> The 6-inch Nano-SIM 1520 marks Nokia’s first entry into the increasingly popular "phablet" category. Powered by a Quad-core 2.2 GHz Krait 400 processor which uses Qualcomm MSM8974 Snapdragon 800 chipset, the phablet runs on Microsoft Windows Phone 8 Black operating system. The powerful processor coupled with Adreno 330 GPU and 2 GB RAM can handle any power-hungry application or video game very easily. The processing speed is blazing fast and users can also experience smooth multitasking. </div> <div> </div> <div> The handset's IPS LCD capacitive touch screen (with 16:9 aspect ratio) features full HD (1920 x 1080) resolution and 368 ppi pixel density. Images and videos come out vibrantly sharp and pleasantly bright as Lumia 1520 sports Nokia's ClearBlack multi-touch display. Due to this the screen's black levels are amazingly deep resulting in vibrant vivid colors, exceptional contrast and high brightness mode that gives above par outdoor visibility. Users need not to worry much about display's protection as the phablet's screen is well-covered by Corning Gorilla Glass 2 alkali-aluminosilicate sheet. The unibody polycarbonate shell of Lumia 1520 offers high grade protection to the device. </div> <div> </div> <div> However, the big dimensions (162.8 x 85.4 x 8.7 mm, 120.3 cc) make it uncomfortable to use the phablet with single hand. Similarly, on a less positive note, the weight of Lumia 1520 (209 grams) feels heavy to carry. Nevertheless, 1520 can be counted among the best in the business if it is considered as "bigger the better." </div> <div> </div> <div> On the camera front the phablet scores the highest. It is among the best in camera phone category with its 20 megapixel PureView snapper. Its camera is certainly incomparable to Nokia Lumia 1020 which sports an award-winning 40 MP camera. However, the dual-LED flash Carl Zeiss autofocus camera of Lumia 1520 captures amazingly high-quality images that come into life with superb colour combinations. When compared to other phones with high-end cameras, low-light images also look remarkable. The camera is operated through the “Nokia Camera” application. The app is quite notable as it has automatic mode which provides a simple interface for quick capturing of high-quality images. Accordingly, a "Pro" mode (for manually tuning basic camera-features such as ISO, white balance and shutter speed) and “Smart” mode (for snapping a series of 10 images in less than 3 seconds) are also present. </div> <div> </div> <div> Likewise, there is another camera app called the “Nokia Refocus” which uses a technology to create photos that mimic a Lytro camera (a light-field camera that uses a microlens array to capture 4D light field information about a scene). Lastly, the phablet has another new app called “Nokia Storyteller” which reads GPS location data from the photos and videos users have taken and puts them on Nokia’s HERE maps in a interactive interface. The rear camera can capture 1080p HD videos at 30 frames-per-second. The front-facing 1.2 MP snapper is also good for taking 720p videos @30fps. </div> <div> </div> <div> The sound quality of the phablet is amazing as it offers Dolby Headphone Sound Enhancement system. Be it for listening songs, FM radio or watching videos, the earbuds let users hear refined quality sounds along with active noise cancellation for the microphone. On the power backup front, the phablet is pretty strong with its 3,400 mAh non-removable Li-Ion battery. In terms of storage capacity, Lumia 1520 comes in two variants- 16 GB and 32 GB. There is a microSD card slot which can be used to further expand its storage up to 64 GB. </div> <div> </div> <div> Loaded with high-end internet and other latest connectivity options, Lumia 1520 is a premium handset which is the most impressive Windows Phone till date.
