Nokia Lumia 1520 Camera Samples

At the Abu Dhabi event earlier this year, Nokia announced their first phablet – Nokia Lumia 1520. The Nokia Lumia 1520 is the first in various aspects – first Windows Phone phablet, first Windows Phone to sport a Full HD 1080p display and the first Windows Phone device to run on a Snapdragon 800 SoC. The specialty about the Lumia 1520 is that it retains the goodness of a PureView camera from the Nokia Lumia 1020. Though it doesn’t have the huge 41MP sensor like the one on Lumia 1020 or Nokia 808, it comes with a little modest 20MP PureView camera that comes with a similar over-sampling algorithm.
