As widely expected, Nokia today unveiled the Lumia 1320 and Lumia 1520, two phablets with 6-inch displays at its Nokia World 2013 event (possibly its first before Microsoft’s acquisition closes). The 1520 is aimed at the higher end of the market while the Lumia 1320 is “going large at a lower price.” They are part of a wider announcement that saw Nokia announce six new devices, including its first Windows tablet.
“Now more than ever, mobile devices are at the center of consumers’ lives as they look to capture, curate and share experiences on the go,” said Stephen Elop, Executive Vice President, Devices & Services at Nokia. “Today we’re inviting people around the world to switch to Nokia. With our latest range of Lumia and Asha products, we’re delivering industry leading design and imaging innovation to bigger devices at more accessible prices. The quality and value that Nokia products deliver continues to grow as we partner with developers to introduce app experiences that are unique to Lumia and Windows Phone”
