@Nokia Lumia 1520 cracked screen :(

@Nokia Lumia 1520 cracked screen :(

| January 30, 2014 | 54 Replies

Advertisements Absolutely gutted. My 1020 has survived greater falls, but perhaps it was just unlucky this time with the 1520. Sitting on the bus, the 1520 slid out of my pocket onto the floor. I thought it picked up some dust on the screen but it turned out to have cracked! The screen was initially […]

Accessories: Nano SIM adapter for MicroSIM and ‘regular’ SIM

| January 30, 2014 | 8 Replies

  The Nokia Lumia 1520 is one of the first devices on the market that’s sporting the new (annoying?) nano-SIM variant. There was once a debacle as to which standard would be used. Apple won out and now, Nokia have adapted this standard in their latest flagship. Although it does make it difficult for those on […]

A surprise move indeed. Google has sold Motorola Mobility to Lenovo for 2.91 billion USD. Lenovo was previously rumoured to be buying Nokia. Turns out, they were after another old giant. Google was said to have picked up Moto (12B USD) for the patents to protect Android. It was initially feared that Google was going […]

Of course, from none other than LE55ONS, we have another Nokia disassembly and assembly video. This time of the super popular Nokia Lumia 520.

Nokia’s OIS available for other OEMs as ST Microelectronics exclusivity ends

Nokia’s OIS available for other OEMs as ST Microelectronics exclusivity ends

| January 29, 2014 | 13 Replies

When Nokia introduced Optical Image Stabilisation to smartphones (920), it changed how mobile photography was perceived. Low light became another battle ground. Who could do it better? Phones had become quite similar in daylight (only a few shining through, e.g. Nokia). In low light without flash, Nokia’s PureView Phase 2 was a clear winner. Nokia […]

[polldaddy poll=7755535] Memory cards. Nokia fans have been taking advantage of them for a long time, and it was something to differentiate against the iPhone in the early days of ‘smartphones for average Joe’. The 6600 was one of the first mobiles with expandable memory. I sure loved filling up my MMC card on my […]

Whilst the big name suggests it might be ‘better’ in all aspects, including camera in comparison to the 9xx range, the 1320 sports a standard ‘Lumia’ 5MP camera. Not PureView, No OIS etc. But it’s decent. AF appears quick and accurate. Sound is not compromised (HAAC mics in all Lumias). Gogi Rana The description has […]

This is the first time I’ve actually gone all the way up to 64GB on a memory card before. I usually just stick with 32GB (in 820) and in my 60D. With the 1520, the first of Nokia’s Lumia ‘FLAGSHIPS’ to have a MicroSD, I wanted to shove in some more memory on top of […]
