    Using the 1520 in 2017 - My Experience

    I get 3 to 4 days from my battery, I have most of the Edge sync stuff set to off and only a few social apps allowed in background, wifi on all the time, screen set to medium brightness auto can be to erratic at times. at night I turn on power saver (put it off when I wake up)

    Using the 1520 in 2017 - My Experience

    Re: Using the 1520 in 2017 - My Exprience I also had to decide between the 950XL and the 1520, for me the build quality was the deciding factor, the 1520 is simply superb build wise whereas the 950 XL is a bit mediocre and plasticky, but it does have USB OTG and will be getting the CU, some...

    So who is still rocking a 1520 these days?

    WM10 is such a different animal compared to even 6 months ago, I have it on my 1520 and its superb, 3 to 4 days battery, no freezing, very stable, integration is great, I see no issues with IQ, like I mentioned earlier I had an iPhone 7 for 2 months but the IQ is poor (really) Apple have gone...

    anyone else with Bluetooth issues after 14393.953 update??

    My phone and fitness tracker (Garmin) used to work flawlessly but since the update it syncs once but never again, I need to unpair the 2 then pair them again, then again it syncs once but not again... any ideas? Guess it could be the Garmin Connect app too??

    "Upgrading' to 1520

    Welcome to the 1520 club, I was also thinking about the 950 (XL) but didnt like its plasticky build on back, 1520 is superbly built, only thing I miss on the 1520 is no USB OTG support... otherwise its amazing

    You can always downgrade to 8.1 if you are unhappy with W10, I'm really enjoying W10 on my 1520 though.

    Lumia 1520 Worth buying in 2017

    Camera IQ seems very good, not sure on what else you'll lose, but you gain a lot, there's a lot in WM10 to like... I find it smoother and snappier than 8.1 Like I said I'm very chuffed n WM10 AU, you can always downgrade to 8.1 if unhappy.

    Lumia 1520 Worth buying in 2017

    Just wanna say that W10 (14393.726) is rock solid on my 1520 in case you wanted to give it a whirl, you can always go back to 8.1 but I doubt it. W10 now is very stable and having access to apps that have been redone for W10 and getting updates is nice too.

    Lumia 1520 Worth buying in 2017

    I just did, had an iPhone 7 for 2 months but was unhappy with the photo quality and wanted to break away from the Apple/Android clone phone wars so decided on Windows, initially wanted the 950XL but didnt like the build quality, so got a 1520 about 3 weeks ago (brand new) and installed the...

    Here we go again....

    Had an iPhone 7 for 2 months, but hated the IQ from the camera, heavy handed processing and NR obliterates detail (I'm a camera type of guy) so bought a brand new 1520 two weeks ago and am loving it, stable, much better IQ from camera :) great battery life. See crops from 1520 to the right and...
