Unboxing: Nokia Lumia 1520

Last night, Nokia Philippines hosted a small Christmas dinner to members of the media and bloggers where they introduced the new line of Lumia and Asha phones. We came home winning a new Lumia 1520 which we immediately unboxed.

The last time we saw the Lumia 1520 was during the global launch in Abu Dhabi back in October.

The Lumia 1520 is set to be released in the Philippines sometime in January 2014 although we’re still guessing what the suggested retail price would be.

The second time around, the Lumia 1520 looks much more stunning. The ClearBlack display and full HD resolution is very clear and crisp, highlighted by the 6-inch Gorilla Glass display.

It’s also very thin and feels a bit hefty, but that’s to be expected. The unibody design is covered in glossy polycarbonate material that looks and feels very premium (although it’s also a fingerprint and smudge-magnet).

Nokia has also leveled-up and made the internal hardware at par with all of the flagship handsets in the market (specifically the Android market).

Nokia Lumia 1520 specs:
6-inch ClearBlack Display @ full HD 1920×1080 pixels
Gorilla Glass 2
Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 2.2GHz quad-core processor
Adreno 330 Graphics
2GB RAM
32GB internal storage
64GB via microSD
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, ac
LTE 150/50 mbps, DC-HSPA 42mbps
Bluetooth 4.0 LE
GPS w/ aGPS, GLONASS
20MP PureView rear camera, dual LED flash
1.2MP front-facing camera
Li-Ion 3,400mAh battery
Windows Phone 8
162.8 x 85.4 x 8.7mm (dimensions)
209 grams (weight)

The Lumia 1520 is certainly, and by far, the most promising the nicest-looking Windows Phone handset ever. Large, full HD display, top of the line processor, huge battery capacity, much faster LTE support, and the 20-megapixel PureView camera.

Nokia Philippines is set to officially launch the Lumia 1520 this January 2014 though they have not shared the retail price yet. Watch out for our full review in a week.

Nokia Lumia 1520 launching in Abu Dhabi on October 22

We got an invite from Nokia Global to attend the launching of new devices in Abu Dhabi this October 22. Aside from the rumored Lumia 1520, 6 more devices will be announced in the event.

This was confirmed to me by one of the regional reps from Nokia last week during the local launch of the Lumia 1020.

The 7 devices will definitely include new Lumia smartphones, a Windows RT tablet (or probably two) and the rest could be Asha handsets.

We’ll definitely get you the details as we cover the entire event live in Abu Dhabi on the 22nd.

Nokia “Bandit” poses for a photo, shows off 6-inch screen

Along with the online gossips about a Windows RT-powered tablet, Nokia is also rumored to be working on a 6-inch Windows Phone handset which currently goes by the moniker Bandit.

The Nokia Lumia 1520, Bandit’s official product name according to @EVLeaks, is also believed to sport a 1080p resolution to go along with its massive display. If it materializes, then the “Bandit” will not only be the biggest WP8 handset to date, but also the first to break the 720p barrier.

Other details like its inner workings (processor, RAM, etc.) remain scarce as of the time of writing. However, given that it is scheduled to make its debut in latter part of September, you can bet that we’ll hear more about Nokia latest brainchild in the next coming weeks.
