Nokia Lumia 1320 – Unboxing and first impressions of the budget friendly phablet

Nokia Lumia 1320

I reviewed the Lumia 1520 and even did a follow up on living with the monster 6-inch Windows Phone. Today, I'm taking a look at the make new Lumia 1320, a more budget friendly version of the high stop Nokia device. Running between $350 and $400 off contract in various markets, including China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Singapore, the Lumia 1320 looks to be a winner for those wanting something a bit larger.

My Lumia 1320 just showed upwardly, and so we figured nosotros would bear witness you folks around the latest Lumia to grace our site. So grab a hot coffee and watch the unboxing video with a quick device tour. We'll fifty-fifty throw in some high quality photos also.

Lumia 1320 Specifications

6-inch 1280 x 720 IPS display, Gorilla Glass three, ClearBlack polarizer, Super Sensitive Touch, Lumia Colour Contour and 60 Hz refresh rate
Snapdragon S4 one.7 GHz dual-core CPU
8 GB of internal storage; micro SD expansion
i GB of RAM
5 MP f/2.4 rear camera; 640 x 480 pixels f/two.eight front facing camera

3400 mAh battery, micro SIM
164.2 mm x 85.9 mm x 9.8 mm; 220 grams
Windows Telephone eight build 10517 (Update iii) with Lumia Black firmware; 3 columns of Live Tiles

All in all, the specifications of the Lumia 1320 are quite solid for a more budget friendly Windows Phone. The processor is not every bit impressive as the Lumia 1520, which sports a quad-core 800 clocked at two.2 GHz, just the 1.7 GHz S4 found in the Lumia 1320 is at present officially the 2d fastest of all Windows Phones.

The display is a lower resolution with merely a 245 PPI measurement, but with the high quality IPS and ClearBlack engineering science, nosotros're not complaining. Information technology looks real good, even on par with the Lumia 920. Seeing equally this is a half-dozen inch device, you would think Nokia would focus on that aspect and they certain practise deliver.

Lumia 1320 camera sample - 5 MP

The five MP, non PureView camera is not the greatest for specs, only as you can see for outdoor shots, it's actually quite adept: clear, sharp and decent colour balance.

Brothers in design: Lumia 625 (L) versus Lumia 1320 (R)

On newspaper, the Lumia 1320 is a hair bigger (taller, thicker) than the Lumia 1520 and even heavier (220 grams versus 209), but the truth is that in your hand, they feel identical. The Lumia 1320 does accept more than rounded corners though and is very reminiscent of the Lumia 625 in terms of blueprint and build quality (though the brandish is much better on the Lumia 1320). See the epitome to a higher place for a straight comparison.

We'll exist doing a full review of the Lumia 1320 in the coming days, before CES next week, so await for that shortly.

For at present, if you have questions, inquire away in comments or head into our Lumia 1320 forums for discussion!
