I'm upgrading my Phone in May: 1520 vs 1020

[Ian Pasterkiewicz]

So my birthday is in May & I want a new phone for my birthday being its been a while since my dad got me my current Lumia 920 (a.k.a. my baby). As much as I love my 920 its time for an upgrade. I mainly want a better camera on my phone & the 1520 & 1020 provide just that. I need the upgrade in the camera mainly because I'm going on a trip to the Germanic countries this summer & I want to have a higher quality camera than the one I had on the last trip I went on. I'm very conflicted on the issue because both devices have things I love. My biggest questions to make my decisions are:

*is the photo quality really THAT different between them?
*Is there a big difference in battery life?
*is there a big difference in display quality/brightness?
*Is there a big difference in performance being the 1520 has a better CPU?

I'm leaning toward the 1520 because I like the big screen for texting & the SD slot will be nice for storing all the pics & videos from Europe assuming I will be forced to put the phone on airplane mode as to not use roaming data, assuming I wont be connected to the internet. Also it lacks the big camera protruding out of the 1020, but I will definately deal with it if there's THAT big a difference as 41:20 MP makes it seem.

Thanks in advance.

Hahahahah there have been at least 10 similar posts to this one in the last 2 weeks :/ so use the search button and you'll find some.. and you'll find all pro and contra arguments in them.. In short they all come down to buying the 1520

Probably shoulda done the search before... I'm new to this forum & I'm also very tired today, my logic is broken at the moment it seems...

The newer your phone model is, the better the chances are for next major update. 1020 < 1520 < 930... and so on...

Lol no problem m8 it just seems weird that this is suddenly a thing.. i would go for the 1520 handsdown.. Bigger screen if you don't mind that and all the latest hardware there is!
