Hasta La Gadget!

Perhaps back in the day when cameras on smartphones took pretty low quality images, people didn’t really care about the megapixels or the camera technology as much as they do today. Nowadays people are slightly more fussy when it comes to image quality on their phones and features like the ability to capture photos in low-lighting conditions, image stabilization, and so on are important.

Of course sometimes there is some bias going on. Some people genuinely believe their phone is the best for taking photos because they love the brand, so in order to find out which phone truly takes the best photos from an unbiased point of view, the folks at PhoneArena have conducted a blind test with a variety of photos, asking people to vote on which looks best.

It seems that Delta Airlines has decided it is time for the old to go, and the new (relatively speaking, of course) to arrive. We are referring to the airline making the move to upgrade their bunch of Nokia Lumia 820 smartphones to that of the newer Nokia Lumia 1520 devices. At point of publishing, existing flight attendants make use of the Nokia Lumia 820 in order to take down in-flight food orders, although the bigger sized Lumia 1520 would come in handy as there is more visual area to look at, in addition to allowing the flight attendants to begin selling seat upgrades on the flight itself.

At MWC 2014 this week, Sony unveiled their latest flagship handset, the Xperia Z2. One of the highlights of the Xperia Z2 would be its camera in which Sony has packed a 20.7MP Exmor RS sensor with Sony’s G-lens. Together with Steady Shot, 4K video recording, and a low-light mode, it certainly sounds the Xperia Z2’s camera packs quite a punch.

Now the question is with all that new fangled technology under the hood, how does it compare to some of the best shooters out there as far as smartphones are concerned? With that being said, Vietnamese website, Tinhte.vn has uploaded a YouTube video in which the low-light photography of the Xperia Z2, the iPhone 5s, and the Nokia Lumia 1520 are all compared against one another.

Nokia is not necessarily a company that deals with “mini” versions of their phones. Those mini variants are usually best left to Samsung and Sony who have released such devices in the past, but it seems that Nokia could be working on a mini version of one of its phones, at least that’s according to the rumors. According to reports out of China, it seems that Nokia is rumored to be working on a Lumia 1520 mini, or Lumia 1520 V which is its alleged moniker. It will be based on the Lumia 1520 but will sport different specs, which in all honesty sounds a bit like the rumored Nokia Lumia 929 a.k.a Lumia Icon for Verizon.

So what sort of specs are we looking at? Well for starters it is rumored to sport a 4.3” display but interestingly enough, Nokia will be maintaining the Full HD 1920×1080 display, meaning that in terms of sharpness, the Lumia 1520 V will be a force to be reckoned with. It is also rumored to feature 2GB of RAM, 32GB of onboard storage, and come with a 14MP PureView camera, and a 3,000mAh battery to top it off. Based on these specs it does sound a bit like the Lumia Icon for Verizon, just with a much smaller display. The Lumia 1520 V is rumored for a launch after Windows Phone 8.1 is released in April. Take it with a grain of salt for now, but what do you guys think?

The Nokia Lumia 1520 is currently available via carriers and retailers but unfortunately it is only available in a 16GB version at the moment, although users do have the option of expanding its memory through a microSD card. However we guess there are those who might prefer using onboard memory instead and are finding 16GB not enough for their usage. Well the good news is that according to Windows Phone Central’s sources, it has been rumored that AT&T could be opening up orders for a 32GB version of the Lumia 1520 come 10th of January. However it seems that this offering will be only available online, meaning that you will need to purchase it from AT&T’s website as opposed to walking into their stores.

It has been rumored for a while that a 32GB version of the handset would be arriving soon, so we guess the 10th of January date isn’t completely out of the question. It is unclear how much more will Nokia/AT&T be asking for the 32GB version, but we’ll definitely keep our eyes peeled for more information. The 32GB model could also be of interest to those who store a lot of photos, videos, and music on their phones, especially since with up to 64GB of microSD card support, one could potentially have 96GB worth of storage on their device, but do check back with us on the 10th of January for the details!
