![]() There's no means of gripping the Nokia Lumia 1520 either at the front or rear, making it a little difficult to get to grips with, especially since its unibody design is very smooth. The lens has a minimum focus range of 10cm, just about good enough for modest macro shots. You can digitally zoom the lens by 3x by swiping up and down on the screen - we'd recommend that you forget this feature, though, as zooming in does degrade the picture quality slightly, despite the claims that it's a lossless zoom, and its also only applied to the image at 5 megapixels, rather than the highest resolution of 20 megapixels. In practice we could hand-hold the Lumia 1520 in fairly dark conditions and still get sharp results for both stills and video without resorting to using the rather ineffective built-in flash. The Lumia 1520 offers a built-in, lens-based image stabilisation system that Nokia claims offers a 3-stop advantage compared to smartphones with no anti-shake. The combination of the wide-angle lens, f/2.4 aperture, very effective built-in image stabilizer and maximum ISO speed of 4000 makes this smartphone better suited to hand-held low-light photography than most other comparable devices. The shot-to-shot time is about the same at around 2 seconds, a big improvement Lumia 1020 that we previously tested which suffered from a 4-second lag. There's a small physical shutter release button on the side, which can be used to jump straight into the Lumia 1520's camera mode by holding it down for a couple of seconds, speeding up the picture-taking process, although the 2 second start-up time is a little slow. The Nokia Lumia 1520 offers both 32Gb of built-in memory and an external memory slot that accepts MicroSD cards. The lens is a 26mm equivalent optic with a fast maximum aperture of f/2.4, above which is a thin lozenge-shaped dual-LED flash that's not particularly powerful, offering an operating range of 3m. It has a solidly built unibody design that feels like it should withstand the odd knock or two. The Nokia Lumia 1520 is a very large yet not too heavy smartphone that just about fits into a trouser or jacket pocket, weighing 209g and measuring 162.8x85.4x8.7mm. ![]() The Nokia Lumia 1520 is available now in yellow, white, red or black for around £600 / $750. It can also simultaneously take a high resolution 20 megapixel image and a smaller 5 megapixel picture that is easier to share on social networks. The Nokia Lumia 1520 also features a 6-inch Full HD display with a resolution of 368ppi and Touch AF, Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, built-in dual LED flash, geotagging, 32GB internal storage plus MicroSD format support, wireless charging, and can capture Full 1080p HD videos at 30fps. The Nokia Lumia 1520 is a new 6-inch Windows Phone 8 smartphone with a 20-megapixel 1/2.5-type sensor and a 26mm equivalent Carl Zeiss lens with a fast maximum aperture of f/2.4 and optical image stabilization.
