Not sure what to get! 1520 or 930

[jeiiel]

Im looking to upgrade my Lumia 925. I've been reading pros and cons of both Lumia 1520 and 930 but I wanted to hear from you guys which to choose as I am torn.

What would you recommend?

I have a Lumia 1520, Lumia 920, and Lumia 900. The only thing I miss about the older models is the one handed functionality. The 1520 is a two handed device. There is no way around it. Besides this con...everything else doesn't compare, this phone is an incredible piece of engineering. Id choose the 1520 over the 930. But if I had to choose today, several months after the 1520 launch.....id wait a little longer for the next flagship WP that is about to come out.

I thought you should go for 930...but If you want glance and bigger screen display then go for 1520

The hardware is virtually identical so the questions that matter are. Can you get by without an SD card? And is that extra inch of screen going to be too much?

If the answer to both is yes then buy the 930, if no then the 1520 will be your next phone. If you can handle both of them in a shop then take the opportunity to get a feel for their dimensions and weight.

I was going to get the 930 myself but the SD slot swayed me and when I got my hands on the 1520 it did not feel as massive as I was worried it might.

Some owners have complained that the 930 gets hot but the additional metal in the case could be a factor in amplifying that perception as the 1520 will warm too, but I've never felt it to be too hot.

Whichever you choose I'm sure you'll be very happy with your new phone.
