Best reviewer on youtube.
Totally should be a competition for that. MF rocks.
An excellent unbiased review which I have come to expect from Pocketnow. The 1520 is on order and I think its going to be my phone for a couple of years!!!
Still rocking this one. Still gonna rock it more.
You are the best reviewer in youtube in my opinion, your videos are really entertaining and well done. Much better oriented than MKBHD
Especially when you compare Lumia 1520 review made by both
exactly!
i agree, but MKBHD's experience as compared to Mr Fisher's has some catch up.
This comment still holds up
Using this phone for 3 years now, it's very sturdy and with the WINDOWS 10 Anniversary update, it's superb!
Every weakness mentioned in this review were gone, except it's size of course!
Rod 29 Hi How is The Battery Life After Window 10 Update..?
Finally I have been waiting for this review since last week
It's phabulous
fabulous* and i AGREE
yona gamburg he was punning...phablet, phabulous???
yona gamburg I'm guessing it's a play of words, the big phones are called phablets
yona gamburg *woosh*
Great review, as always!
yona gamburg it's suppose to be a joke lol
This phone still around and probably best still, not to mention finalized version of windows 10 gonna be out soon, just don't let this video fool you, this is a bad ass phone!!
Wow! I like the submarine video that you took from a ferry! Very very cinematic!
Beautiful review Michael. I feel this is the most unbiased and best review of this gorgeous phone to date.
always the best honest practical reviews come from you
Great review Mr. Fisher!
Man you provide the best reviews.
still waiting for that other video:),thank you
I love Pocketnow's reviews!
Amazing review as always! One thing though, at the begining you said "It's WP's only phablet to date" Isn't the 1320 a phablet, also?
The 1320 came out later when this video was filmed, that's why it doesn't count.
Please do a 1520 vs 1020 comparison, are the boosted specs really necessary on windows phone?
I notice that I could get the night mode in the 1520 pro cam, but I can't find it in 1020 pro cam feature? Is it possible that still not yet update for my 1020 to Amber?
Nice review looks like a very good phone , subbed :)
Thanks for the review. I HATE getting a new phone, but need to find something to replace my trusty, but aging IPhone 3 (yes, 3)...
A score of 8.4 sounds impressive, but what does that really mean? Do you have the points criteria somewhere broken down so I can see where it scored well and where it did not?
Thanks.
Damn it dude! That Homescreen is gorgeous!~
Hi I have a question if you want to choose between Samsung Note 3 and this phone which one you would choose..
You do great rewiews !
A good video to start the day.
i am wonderin in what colour to get the 1520 i was wondering between white and yellow please help
As a previous Lumia 920 user who upgraded to 925 then finally got the Lumia 1020, All I can say that it seems I got a new addiction, these phones are simply great if not the best among all competitors in terms of quality that includes great photography, wonderful screens, amazing sound quality and much more!
However for me and as I'm still addicted to my Lumia 1020 fine outcomes specifying the Camera, sound and Screen, I will be waiting for more Megapixels Lumia phablet to buy at least I can get both more horse power along with ultimate photography.
Cheerz! Adel
As Michael said, it is the sotware the one draging this phone down. The addition of the SD card is kind of crippled without a proper file explorer. Also the lack of USB host capabilities is another unfortunate limitation of WP8 that push these devices out of power users' radar.
This type of devices (phablets) would benefit a lot from having a OS like WinRT which, although not good enough for desktop devices, would certainly make this device far more usable than it is with WP8.
Hoperfully, MS may update WP8 to be more like WinRT so these devices are more versatile in the future.
having waited this long for this review, I feel it's incomplete without the review on new additions of apps from nokia and something's missing
Thanks. Great review!
nice review, the best one on youtube!
this review is not accurate. I have a lumia 1520 and I assure you it is worth every penny. This is a flagship phone of 2013 and still one of the best smartphone up to date.
Does the stock camera still usable since already got the pro cam?
what are the drawbacks?! are all the app's working properly like whatsapp? cos i had a lot of trouble whatsapping on windows 7.5 on lumia 800!
Do you have available your other scores on the other phablets? Note 3, One Max, Sony et all. 4 way comparo video a proposition? I find my Note 2 a default daily driver heavy lifter.
This phone is awesome I bought this phone and till now I am loving it
I have seen your reviews on the Mega, Galaxy note 3, the HTC one Max and the big Sony. When i see your complete review on this one, I will go get one of these phones. I cant wait. I am leaning toward the Nokia right now.
when does this phone come out on contract in the uk?
lumia 1520 or h&c one m8 which is good and mainly future proof ?
Thanks for the great review
micheal fisher's reviews are awesome
Very clear and unbiased review Thank-you
Awesome review!
The second WP device I'm in love with. (The first one was HTC 8X).
Has anyone had much experience with windows phones and xbox one? I'm really happy with my surface pro streaming to xbox and all that, just wondering if the windiws phones will let you stream using the play to function etc... any info would be great. Tia.
is it funny how this is the only reviewer that can pronounce Nokia properly.
Michael Ficsher is one of the best reviewers out there, if not THE Best .....
@ralphp did you switch?
I bought a Lumia 1320 and its the best
Please do a comparison between this and the Z ultra
Should I stay with the S4 then or switch to Lumia 1520??
Does this phone in the review Lumia 1520 uses apps like Imo, Messenger, Whatsapp, Facebook n Instagram? I want to try one but I need to know if I will be able to use my apps on it.
Can't wait Christmas, i NEED this phone in my life
When's Nokia going to place these specs (except screen size) into an updated Lumia 1020?
Ur review was superb......love it
Soooo, I'll assuming that there will be a z30 review coming
Worth noting this is a review of the inferior AT&T version that has 1/2 the storage and no wireless charging compared to the non-gimped European/Australian version. Also, it has a super sensitive touchscreen that can be used even when wearing gloves which could be a HUGE selling point for anyone living through winters where u don't want your hands freezing off.
Its a GREAT phone/phablet. I've had mine for a couple of months and found it VERY VERY difficult to switch back to my 2010 with its 'tiny' 4.5" screen, and its just so more polished design and materials wise than any other device I've used (and I've used a LOT). The OS is also the only mobile OS that feels current in its look and feel. Apple hasn't done jack for years with iOS and android used to and still feels like a barely working collection of disparate parts bolted together.
you know I had andriod for about 4 years now and to be honest I am so over done with apps draining my battery and also it seems only andriod have a OS issue everytime. I dont need like 5 home screens and apps sometimes not working or half ass. This might be the phone I want to get and try out.
the magic jack app on android is what i extensively use can someone please give me a windows alternative thanks
This is at better review of youtube, dude you is very good.
your voice just has this awesome professional quality about it
is multitasking available with new windows on mobile phone ???
that video with the submarine is really impressive, on pretty much any other phone it would be even more overexposed.
Yep I agree. Although I bought one on preorder after seeing it in person once. My hands are big so no problem using it one handed in fact I have an even better experience typing on the lager display. 😁
I've been accustomed to Android but later this month I might be switching to Windows. Thinking of getting the 1520 or the 930,but I want to ask people here if it's worth the switch.
The one in the middle (that's what she said lol) from the 3.
I made the same switch. I was a bit scared about it. But now I really like WP and integration between multiple devices (phone, Surface Pro, Notebook).
I started with a second hand 925, and I finished just today to buy a 1520.
I just sold my 925.
I was coming from a Galaxy Note N7000 and I wouldn't buy a Samsung again.
The build quality of Nokias/Microsoft is very high.
I liked the smaller size of the 925 and portability, but I miss the readability of the phablet size devices and the lack of an external storage slot.
So that's why I switched to 1520.
I hope to get used by size.
Arnoud1987000 noobie?ms had to resort to lawsuits claiming android Infringed on its patents for money.their mobile business is just making them bleeding money.plus android has now changed dramatically.
***** I agree I enjoy using windows phone soooo much better...
can i use this phone with t-mobile ???? thanks
can someone tell me the name of the car game that was on 4:08 ?
I'll put it in my list for my next device
great wp8 device!
though I'll be aiming for it's 5" brother :)
I miss you mr. stark, where were you!?
Bought mine...just waiting.. I hope the câmera is really good...
My 1520 is getting delivered today!!
Its True... I love to watch all phone review from Micheal Fisher.. Hope he do most ... :)
I love yours videos also can send me a link to the lock screen wallpaper
Which Nokia made phones for other operating systems
6:12 Did I witness the best battery life ever known to recent phablets :D I'm not getting this phone but Nokia has my respect just for that
I really look forward for WP8.1 to get some useful features to increase the capabilities of the 1520 and to take good use of its amazing display.
I missed some coments on the new Nokia apps...
do mine eyes play tricks on me, Pocketnow finally did the 1520 review?!? Michael Fisher be praised!!!
Witch game is it at 4:10 ?
Does anybody know ?
great review. I really like my new 1520 Like the speed and battery life get two full days of average use.
good review
Pocketnow
just one thing - the buttons are not ceramic, they are made of zirconium, which is a rare metal
That is a good looking phone for its size. Windows needs to figure out how to utilize that size more. Good thing is that looks like it could be fixed in software updates. The only thing I would worry about is that it never gets a software update. But have to say the home screen does look nice.
What about battery life? A battery over 3000 maH sounds beautiful but actual performance interest me.
I have watched this six times on my lumia 1520 lol... Pocketnow is the best
What do u guys think that I need to get a phone ..... can u help me plz
Wow really nice! I would like that one. Could take a little more advantage of the size of the device but it still does more then most.
I would really like to see how it compares to the xperia
He meant the note 3, and you can do 7 apps on the note 3
UltimateGokuLSSJ7 huh? who means what with the note 3? I just like to see how this compares to the Xperia.
Great review! Seems like a phone that's got good specs but can only be compared to other windows phones.
My next phone will be a phablet ! Gotta give it a try ! I imagine it's easier to use in cold places , cuz u have sweaters and jackets u can put the phone in , can't imagine anyone carrying this thing around in hot weather were u hardly wear any clothes
I have the note 4 right now, but I loved this phone....not going to lie, this was the best phone I have ever had. I lost it at Cedar Point :((
Probably the only Windows phone I have actually considered.
Good job Nokia.
What if we needed to boost the phone ram in case memory low?
Is this problem might happen in WP?
2 gigs of RAM is more than enough. WP8 can run easily on half a gig.
Thanks
The lumia 1310 is a phablet as well, that's the previous 1520
Michael is the only reviewer I've seen that commented on the glanceability factor that the 1520 delivers. The 1520 is the vanguard for the next wave of Windows Phones coming in 2014.
What game did shown on this video ?
One thing they really should implement on windows phone phablets is the snap feature of Windows 8/RT
VS iPhone 5S, speed test and gaming pls...
When I heard the word 'Threshold' I immediately thought Halo. Turns out that's exactly what the update is named after.
I can't wait to see what it brings.
@bizmonkey007 You can get pandora keeper and outlook ( which connects to Gmail) dropbox is not available but many substitutes are, and you can transfer all your google drive files to one drive
Give me that spec in a 4,5/5" display (so I can fit it in my pocket ;p) and it'll be a perfect phone for me. One question: does the "black" update finally support bf keyboards?
then you should wait for the nokia lumia 929 it will be coming in quarter1 2014
I haven't realized that, thanks ;) Definitelly going to check it out
***** It gets better: it'll probably be a Verizon exclusive for now. But there are rumours about a so-called "1520 mini", same spec, only with 5,2" display. Can't wait!
thanks for notifying me it is great to see that technology is advancing this much :) rumors of windows phone 9 have also leaked this is gonna be awesome.
Łukasz Kotkowski It isn't a "1520 mini". That phone has all the specs to be the 920 successor.
The new flagship phone :) I hope that the windows phone 8.1 has good features to fit into such a nice phone.
That was a very true review.
I too am pissed with companies not using the screen size to advantage. I have a note 3 but the UI makes it look like an upsized S4... Thats stupid...Why cant we have more icons on the screen and multi tasking windows at the same time...
Atleast this one has a home screen with more tiles, so that we dont have to hunt around. But again just one step in to the UI and again the disappointment creeps in...
Amazing camera)
Did you guys press and hold the back button. Is that not multitasking? I though it was
Multitasking is running 2 (or more) apps simultaneously. You're talking about task switching. Not the same thing.
Gotcha my mistake
Google made the fumble of calling the feature on Android ICS "Multitasking". Total facepalm :) So not really your fault.
