Nokia Lumia 1525

[hasasimo]

1520 isn't the only phone with screen sensitivity issues. 1020 has the same issue. Many non Lumia's have it too. Price you pay for these newer high sensitivity screens.

You're right, but it seems to be a lot more prevalent in the Lumia 1520. But there are other devices running on a SD 800 that have it as well. If the sensitivity issue is resolved in the 1525, I'll be pretty convinced that the SD 800 was the main culprit.

Wonder which colors will arrive at which carriers. Green and orange seem like sure bets somewhere now.

Do the Icon and 930 have the issues as well? Seeing as they are S800 devices.

I would just like to convey the roumors:

• It would feature a 25/30 MP camera
• It would have 3GB DRAM
• It would have a 4K screen resolution
• it would have a 3400mah Battery
• it would have a solar charging touchscreen
• It 'may' have the 3D touch

If these rumors are true, we will have a sure shot winner on our hands, provided all this comes at less than $800, ideally $700-750.

Please if anyone has any rumor (I don't expect any news just yet) about the launch date please update us all ASAP!!!!

I wonder why would anyone call it an 'issue' it is just that when the screen mode is high sensitive, it may record even warmth or very slight variation in air pressure, when we hold or move our finger, just over the screen. It is a functionality. if you don't want it, set the sensitivity to low and you won't have this 'problem'

Tell me please why do you need 4k?

 

[derDaniel]

Keep in mind that 4K displays also needs more battery
So I hope the battery will be more powerful

 

[Silviu Bogusevschi]

Don't need any 456k, not even 4k, not even 2k, full HD is pretty much enough.

I'm not sure, but there are some Samsung and Sony devices that have similar issues that run on the SD 800. Keep in mind that that's probably not the only culprit. The Icon doesn't have exactly the same hardware as the 1520. Different screen technology for eg. (and no glance support). That may factor in.

You have to be kidding me... have you ever even been inside the Lumia 1520 forum? Or the Nokia Support forums? This is an issue for an untold number of people. Of course everyone has thought to lower their screen's sensitivity. That doesn't fix the problem. People have gone as far as to uninstall the Glance and Touch apps. Other Lumia devices have high sensitivity mode as well and do not have this touch problem.

It is very much a "issue" and to label it "functionality" is just plain ridiculous.

As I said earlier, 1020 has it too.

Heck, I remember people complaining about finger scrolling opening links and ads on the Blackberry Playbook! It IS an issue with high sensitivity screen and not Nokia specific.

I had major screen sensitivity issues on my 1520. My 1020 screen may fail to register a double tap to wake occasionally. That's it. The 1520 has a major design or quality problem. I won't even pretend I know what it is. If it was obvious, it would've been fixed by now.

They really need to go with the 805 and not the 801. Don't want to be behind

How is your unlocked 1520 on T-mobile? can you send MMS? I am currently working on unlocking one to use on T-mobile. I am yet to find teh right unlock company

According to evleaks, there is going to be a 1525 on T-Mobile. Would you consider it? I have an unlocked 1520 on T-Mobile, but may seek out and get the 1525, so that all bands are supported

It will be a slightly upgraded variant of the lumia 1520, with a Snapdragon 801, and possibly a new design. I think it is stupid and they should go straight to the 1530.

Need to be able to record and output in 4k. 2K screen would nice but not required as Full HD is enough.
Also WP is plenty fast and optimized, so the 801 would work for me.

2k/4k recording with a phone camera.... I don't understand it.

The only change I can see them making is going with the 801 and dumping the capacitive buttons thus shrinking the overall size of the phone but keeping the same display real estate.

4k recording and output for my Big Screen 4K tv ... no mystery.

You can upscale the FHD video to 2k/4k, or you think you will have a ton of benefits if Nokia will be (I doubt so) able to record 4k?
