At least for me, the specs are not that groundbreaking compared to my current 1520, and I am giving away screen size. One more GB of RAM, and current flagship processors instead of their successors? Only Win Hello is something noticeable, hardware-wise. And since I will be able to get Win10 on the L1520, there is not much software-wise that I am missing. I think I can safely skip this generation and wait for the next one. What do you think?

I'd want to wait until we get a real good official final look to completely judge, but hey, plenty of people skipped the 930/1520-generation so I suppose you could too.

[JamesDax]

Yes of course. smdh

Unlike droids, Windows phone lets you upgrade without changing new phone. Save you money 💵. Think of it this way.

The 930/1520 seems to have pretty good hardware.

The 1520 sold quite well! The only reason I did not get it was the size. It did not fit in my pocket well, and it required two hands. But really solid phone!

The 930 has better a better screen (441 px), and I liked the size.

I was hoping to see a 1020 upgrade - but nope.

But why people did not consider it a flagship, I wonder? It was released in Sept 2014? Was it too late?

Thoughts?

I think that people saw the 1020 as just a 920 with better camera. I know it had another 1GB of RAM, but still. And it was very expensive when it came out.

[Gustavo Sanchez]

The 1020 is a very nice phone even to this day, but I compared it side by side to my 1520 and the overall experience with the 1520 was much better.

I will definitely get that 950XL. ( only if it is close to windowscentral render ). Waiting to replace my L1520.

[DaveGx]

I'll upgrade. The problem is, I'm not sure if it'll come to ATT. If it doesn't then I stay with the 1520. And if nothing else worthy comes soon, I'm out. I know it's not all MS fault but I'm not hanging around for another two years waiting for a worthy upgrade. Nor will I spend over $600 for an unlocked version to use on ATT.

I will upgrade but not immediately. I purchase my phones outright, off contract. Usually get them about 6-9 months after they come out, when the price has drooped considerably. This has worked well for me and I have never missed having a current "flagship". Very happy MS will be offering unlocked versions thru their stores.

[Gustavo Sanchez]

With the current trend to buy the phones without subsidies (such as ATT Next), and with my current plan, I think that the best way will be indeed wait for some time before upgrading. Heck, maybe there are two more years before my L1520 becomes obsolete.
