Nokia Lumia 1320: Gentle Giant

We might be seeing yet another Windows Phone 8 phone - the Nokia Lumia 1320.

Just got released in China for the start of the year - it is high time to give Android Phablets stiff competition. Let me discuss further more.

To start off, the new Lumia 1320 is targeted at budget phablet market. It's 6 inch IPS LCD HD Gorilla Glass 3 Display with Clear Black polarizer as well as Super Touch Sensitivity and high refresh rate (did I get it all?) will surely undermine its competition. Just with the display it shows how serious Nokia to get some ground.

In terms of innards, at its core is a Snapdragon 400 processor clocked at 1.7GHz paired with Adreno 305 GPU, 1GB RAM and 8GB Internal Storage. The hardware is just right and you wont be limited in terms of apps because of the RAM requirement.

Packing 5MP primary camera supported with Flash and VGA
camera is to say decent for your imaging needs but I will say this Nokia works wonders in this department even in low light condition and the absence carl zeiss. With Nokia Camera gives you basic to advance manual settings and surely makes a major difference. Throw in Nokia Cinemagraph you will also get a wonderful experience capturing moments in action.

Connectivity wise the Lumia 1320 does have WiFi, Bluetooth and LTE (compatible with Globe and Smart frequencies). It also has a bigger battery at 3400 mAh which will give you more days of fun and games. 

Finally it has the latest software build with Nokia Lumia Black installed with 3 columns for live tile that perfectly compliments the big hd display. Oh by the way since its Windows phone you do get the Office suite which is to say uniquely for Windows Phones.

So far it has not been release in the Philippines but as it is started to sell in China (ehem Hong Kong) we might see it soon via online shops. Per one online shop it will start to sell at around 17,155.00 PHP (note: online shops price differ from retail price) so it will definitely compete with Phablets offerings of local and international brands bringing LTE, Standout Display, Windows Phone 8 Experience, Nokia Optical capabilities and Bigger Better Battery Life... Need I say more?
