Nokia’s Abu Dhabi event was probably a good-bye from the Finnish company before being taken over by Microsoft. Nokia showcased a few Lumia and Asha products at the event. Nokia launched two Windows Phone phablets at the event – Nokia Lumia 1520 and Nokia Lumia 1320. Among the two, the Lumia 1520 is the flagship device with a Full HD display making it the first 1080p Windows Phone and a Snapdragon 800 SoC which makes it the first quad-core running Windows phone. The Nokia Lumia 1320 on the other hand is a mid-range phablet with a 6inch HD display and a dual-core Snapdragon S4 SoC.
We got our hands on the yellow version of both the phones and here is quick comparison video right below.
