Late last week, Nokia sent out invites for a 26 November launch of the Lumia 1520 and earlier today the launch took place. The Lumia 1520 was officially launched in Malaysia earlier today and is priced in at RM 2,159. Customers can pre order the device starting today at select Nokia stores. Additionally there is a pre order promo which will slash down the price of the Lumia 1520 in Malaysia to RM 1,999. Comparing the price of the Lumia 1520 in Malaysia, Nokia Malaysia has priced it very strategically because compared big phablets like the Galaxy Note 3 and HTC One max, the Lumia 1520 overall has a cheaper price. Whether customers will wan't to compromise the different OS, that would be another question. To recap the Lumia 1520 is the first big screened Windows Phone 8 device having a 6" Full HD display and it is also the first to have a quad core Snapdragon 800 processor. The 20MP Pureview branded camera on the back of the device is also on of Nokia's best offerings to date and uses the oversampling feature introduced with the Nokia 808 Pureview. In addition to that the Lumia 1520 has built in wireless charging and a microSD card slot to increase the internal storage of the device.

Nokia Lumia 1520 Launching in Malaysia on November 26

Earlier today i received an email inviting me to the Lumia 1520 launch in Malaysia next week. The Lumia 1520 was announced late last month at Nokia's last Nokia World event in Abu Dhabi. Additionally the Lumia 1520 has just landed in the US via AT&T today. In the brief invitation, it is stated that 'Nokia invites you to an exclusive launch of its latest device and service in Malaysia'. The service being launched next week is the Nokia Music app which has since been rebranded to Nokia MixRadio. The service offers free music streaming to Nokia Lumia users. To recap, the Lumia 1520 has a 6" 1080P display and a qualcomm snapdragon 800 CPU, these two new hardware implementations is a first for a windows phone device. The Lumia 1520 also comes with Nokia's latest pureview branded camera which has a resolution of 20MP and uses the same oversampling technology found in the Lumia 1020 to lower the photo size and get the most detail out of the shot. Wireless charging is also built into the device. I'm speculating that the device will be available shortly after the launch next week and judging by the current prices of phablets like the Galaxy Note 3 and HTC One max, i'm expecting to see the Lumia 1520 being priced at around the RM 2,300~ range which is quite reasonable for the hardware it has.
