Biggest Windows Phone

Price: Rs 46,999

The Finnish smartphone giant finally has a phablet in the Indian market. With a six-inch screen,a Pureview quality 20-MP camera and the best microphones,this device has a lot going for it. But the price might be a bit too steep for the Indian market. The real window of opportunity for Nokia is to project the Lumia 1520 as a business phone,especially with BlackBerry loyalists looking for options when an upgrade comes up. The integration with Windows will work well for most enterprise-grade users. The multi-directional microphone,Skype and Microsoft Office will all add to this value. The phone will run Windows Phone 8 and is powered by a 2.2 GHz Snapdragon quad-core processor with 2 GB RAM.
