If Cortana requires an "Always On" feature for doing Voice activated commands , may run on all L series, but only 1520 has the hardware for this feature. It may result in huge battery drain for the lower cousins. :grincry: 525:grincry:
You state this as a fact. Mind listing a source that shows only the 1520 has the necessary hardware?
He's likely referring to the Snapdragon 800 SoC which integrates such a feature, in which case the statement would be incorrect because the Icon also uses that SoC. I think it is safe to assume that none of the devices that came out with an earlier SoC include the necessary hardware, as it would have required a separate IC.
On the other hand, not a single device using the Snapdragon 800 actually makes use of the always-on-listening feature, so it has yet to be shown that it actually works.
FWIW, the Lumia Icon will be capable of the "Always On" feature as well.
Cortana will run on all WP8.1 devices (I have a test 520 and it runs beautifully).
