The 6&#8243; Full HD screen on the Lumia 1520 was hard to go past and, prior to the Windows Phone 8.1 update, I really dug the extra column of live tiles. Even though I could get the extra column of live tiles on my Lumia 920 the extra screen real estate was still an appealing feature.<\/p>\n<p>Other features that stood out for me have been:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the higher capacity battery (2000mAh vs 3400mAh),<\/li>\n<li>SD card expandability (128GB SDXC cards have been verified as being compatible),<\/li>\n<li>20 megapixel PureView camera (compared to 8.7MP on the Lumia 920).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Anyway, while I was down in Melbourne on a break from work I spotted what looked like a good deal at Harvey Norman for the Nokia Lumia 1520 during the Easter long weekend which threw in a bonus Lumia 520 (entry level Lumia) for free. The salesperson did do an incredibly hard sell on the &#8220;product care&#8221; all the way to the checkout which I repeatedly declined which apparently had me unlock the &#8220;madman&#8221; title in the process.<\/p>\n<p>Well, excuse me for being happy with a local manufacturer&#8217;s warranty! Furthermore, my Lumia 920 has survived being dropped several times and hot tea being spilt all over it so even though I don&#8217;t plan on subjecting the Lumia 1520 to an intense beating I am sure it will survive with an appropriate case.<\/p>\n<p>So, I pulled the trigger and bought it and unboxed it when I was down in Melbourne:<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"760\" height=\"452\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/G_I4o0YGfv0\" frameborder=\"0\" type=\"text\/html\"><\/iframe>\n<p>Stay tuned for the preview video!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For a while I have had my eye on the Nokia Lumia 1520 to replace my Lumia 920.
