It could happen tho as the price of tech usually falls pretty fast... Bit slap a name on the phone and the price stays the same. I remember in 1994 where a 2 meg of ram for the amiga A1200 costs around ?400 lol
If you want a future proof phone get ms to put intels new mobile processors in a Lumia! They destroy snapdragon. Unfortunately i doubt they will as they will be more pricey.

On paper..no.. But functionality.. Yes. It takes great pics, 4G is perfect, wireless charging is lovely.perfect screen size..enough storage plus SD card..what more do you really need? It's easy to say sapphire glass.. But I don't need that as I am not clumsy and make sure my phone u in a case in my pocket with no keys or lose change...so sapphire glass is not an issue for me. 1080p is perfect and I have no plans to buy a 4K tv as you need to buy a 4k laptop to transfer to blu-ray to play your footage from a 4k phone.
1520 is a pretty great phone. I'd love to add the following new ingredients to an already great formulae for 1520 successor:
SD805
3Gb RAM
Adreno 420
4k video recording
Faster camera app loading times plus faster shooting times for photos
120fps and slowmo
Addition for more automatic modes in camera like portrait, sports, smile, hdr, night
Better low light quality in video recording specially
Better continuous autofocus
F/2 aperture
Come with dedicated pen and pen input support plus find a way to put pen within phone itself
They can keep the:
great 3400mah battery
IPS LCD display with assertive technology
32GB internal with SD card slot
1/2.3" sensor with Zeiss lens, preview tech, super sampling tech, OIS
And last but not the least GLANCE
For one thing, 3GB of RAM isn't required, Snapdragon 805 was made for 2K and 4K displays, F2.0 would allow more light but make the images softer, f2.4 with OIS is pretty good.
A lot of the features can be added through software updates, the only thing a new 1525 would do is **** off existing 1520 owners.

You are definitely getting the note 4 then because the 15xx won't have the specs you want (nor does it need them for that matter ).I would be switching from android to windows for the 15xx. I currently use the original galaxy note, and it has been a pretty good phone, despite its imperfections. I've been watching windows phone with interest for some time, but it's just not been ready until recently, and now it's a hardware/capability issue that is stopping me.
To me there is only one possible android device that I would upgrade to, and that is the note 4. The reason for that is the functionality that it offers. I say that to point out what the 15xx would need to get me to switch.
It just has to be as good, both on paper and in reality. What it needs to do that is 5 of the following:
- included, integrated stylus stored inside the phone (hopefully optimized for onenote)
- iris scanner and/or voice recognition (or other very easy + reliable securing tech)
- sapphire glass
- wireless charging or integrated solar charging display
- snapdragon 805 or 64-bit processor and 3-4gb ram
- 25-30mp camera (though it must be very fast; to load the app, to focus, and to take a picture)
- water/dust proof
- thinner, lighter, better design, slimmer bezels, less bulky, and QHD
That's the bar, and anything lower I won't be satisfied with for long enough to make it worth the money. If it's not out this year though, it really ought to have all those features.
Microsoft should really just make it worth Samsung's effort to put Windows phone on a variant of the Note 4 because that phone would definitely grab some attention.

Severely unlikely, in my opinion. Especially the higher mp camera and QHD. 20mp is already higher than the average flagship smartphone, and QHD isn't a noticeable upgrade from FHD, and only drains battery severely. However the rest of those I would love, and think are likely.
There is one major problem in the lumia 1520. All apps and transitions need to be much faster even after 8.1/Cyan update. Use any android flagship phone with the same snapdragon 800 chip as the 1520 and you will notice the big difference in speed. Even use the old nexus 4 and you will notice the speed difference.
I'm big fan of WP since 2010. Always defended it. But to be realistic it's still much slower than Android "flagship" devices with the same specs. Also the apps not optimized and slow compared to android. The gap is bigger if it compared with iphone.
4 years since releasing WP7 is so long to still being behind android in speed and app performance.
I feel like most of these specs listed (aside from the IR blaster and possibly on-board features of the SD 808/810) only make this look better on paper and provide little additional performance benefits. I'd rather not pay more for extra components that change almost nothing for the sake of saying "Dur hur, I got 3 GB of RAM!!!"... yeah no one cares.
And 4K resolution? Why waste battery life by improving resolution beyond what the human eye can see? Unless maybe you're that guy with his eye pressed against the glass.
