2014-01-29
hey everyone I'm Jessica's all-court for Cena taking a look at the Nokia Lumia 1320 a pretty good budget phablet it's got a 6 inch screen that's what makes it a phablet super-sized phone here now one interesting thing is that the screen has a resolution of 720p HD instead of 1080p HD that you're gonna find on the higher-end versions of a phone like this namely the Nokia Lumia 1520 phone dimensions are large but the rounded corners help make it appear a little bit smaller the color I've got is this bright orange it also comes in a bright yellow both of those are matte however if you're a little bit more button-down it also comes in white and black pricing is really important it's three hundred and forty dollars off contract that is about half the price of what you're gonna find on a premium phablet and that's really going to be key when you think about the trade-offs and the features so in addition to the slightly lower screen resolution there's a five megapixel camera on the back which is pretty low does come with flash and autofocus and one thing I love about Windows Phones is that there is a dedicated camera button on the front you've got a VGA front-facing camera also pretty low that'll do the trick but you're really not gonna want to rely on it for a lot of video chats for a lengthy amount of time they're gonna look pretty blurry to the person on the other end of the line internally you've got a 1.7 gigahertz dual-core processor we're seeing a lot of quad core processors these days everything runs smoothly it's just not going to be the fastest for playing games compared to some other phones there is LTE on here you do have NFC as well bluetooth 4.0 and you can change in the settings the sensitivity so that you can operate this phone using gloves internal storage capacity is also on the lower end of the spectrum at 8 gigabytes but you can peel off the back cover and add a microSD card to expand that out on the plus side you do have a 3400 milliamp hour battery in here so that's gonna last you for a good long time and of course this phone is running Windows Phone 8 update 3 which means that you're gonna have three columns going across the front a couple other features as well nokia has added all of its software amenities on here also you're especially going to see those in the cam Department now the phone itself is a little bit large you are gonna have a hard time fitting it into smaller pockets I did find the mat to be pretty good although at times I also found it to be a little slippery well you will have some features trade-offs overall for $340 this is a feature packed phablet that people on a budget should definitely take a look at I'm Jessica Dahl clerk for CNET you can check out my full review at cnn.com
