Lagging behind Android in hardware specs for what seemed homogeneous for ages, WP8 managed to catch up in one fell swoop. With the Lumia 1520 at the spearhead, Nokia evened the playing field with a massive 1080p screen and a Snapdragon 800 chipset, then tilted it in its favor with a 20MP OIS-enabled PureView camera..
The Lumia 1520, along with the midrange Lumia 1320, are the first Nokia-made phablets and the first in Windows Phone 8 altogether. The 1320 has last year's hardware though, unlike the Lumia 1520, which is virtually on par with the best Android flagships.
