Nokia Lumia 1520 will have a 3400 mAh battery; Nokia tablet due on AT&T “early November”

Nokia is reportedly preparing to launch the massive six-inch Nokia Lumia 1520 this fall and Windows Phone Central tin can at present bring you a little more information most the device.

Yesterday, EvLeaks claimed that the Lumia 1520 will "launch" on September 26th, though we empathise that to exist incorrect. The device is withal planned to be announced on this date but information technology won't launch until early November on AT&T. That makes much more sense as GDR3 is still being finalized and GDR2 hasn't even finished rolling out yet.

As reported earlier, the phone will feature a 20 MP PureView camera (dual shot: 16 MP + 5 MP), Snapdragon 800 CPU, 32 GB of internal storage (microSD on the side for expansion) and a stellar 1080P HD brandish.

I question that has not been answered to our cognition is in regards to the battery. Powering a fast CPU and a 6-inch 1080P display will certainly revenue enhancement any phone and the Nokia Lumia 1520 is surely not an exception. We can now study that the Lumia 1520 will characteristic a massive 3400 mAh battery, offering 1,400 more mAh than current Lumias.

Whether or not that actress juice is enough to power the high-finish phablet for an extended elapsing remains to exist seen, only it seems clear that Nokia managed to squeeze in a nice sized battery.

By comparison, the Lumia 1520 comes very shut to its contest:

Samsung Note 3 - ~~3450~~ mAh (Correction: 3200 mAh)
Samsung Note ii - 3100 mAh
LG Optimus G Pro - 3140 mAh

Another information we tin add is that the device will feature 4 microphones for Rich Audio Recording and to assistance in covering the massive size of the device when used as a phone. It'southward too reportedly "actually thin, only it has some weight to it", making this truly a large Nokia Lumia.

Unfortunately, there are no phablet like additions to the device like a stylus or any new features besides what comes with GDR3 and Bittersweet shimmer (Nokia firmware). While the device is impressive, according to our source, it's "pretty much a very big Lumia". That'south either peachy news for some or bad news for others.
