So I know Android and even Windows Phone and also own an iPad and know thus iOS.
Then I read the Nokia Lumia 1520 and its large display, not to mention, in my eyes, good looks, and had it bought me mid July 2014. The last few days I was so in Italy on vacation.
Overall, I am from this phone and what it can, excited.
In my type of use (see above) of the battery is very tough. About three days + are in there. And I can not ever forget to reload ...
Of course you have to like the operating system and its idiosyncrasies. It is self-contained as Android, to say, as a user can not so much "pure blunder" one. There also runs in my eyes but much quieter, so the tasks is working just now and does not permanently with any sound or light attention, and overall it seems trouble-free.
Pleasantly surprised I'm from the camera. This needs before normal compact cameras never hide. Now I take pictures actually not with the phone, but with my camera or my video camera, but what I was able to quickly achieve times of snapshots because just had nothing else at hand, made me very surprised. Well lit and sharp. The Zeiss lens features believed to be responsible for it.
And then of course the display. It is sharp and especially bright with its automatic adaptation to the ambient light can be even in the sunshine reasonable nor it recognize what -. Now I could try in Italy, with us enough so normal lighting, as sun in short supply.
The mobile office is then added yet.
On holiday fine course was also the navigation system / wheel works both with the car, as well as walking and calculated sensible routes. The downloaded maps once you no longer need data connection.
Using Bluetooth to connect the phone with the car radio of my Opel Insignia. Phone number is then unlike my Galaxy S4 same available - the Galaxy which lasted just a few minutes.
Nice gag: The navigation then logs via the loudspeaker system of my car so I can choose whether I use the Auto-Navi, the mobile navigation system or even both at the same time (the latter is a joke of course, but technically possible).
The workmanship is good. Nothing creaks or has gaps. The feel is good, the phone feels good and is well in hand.
