Initial impressions
Nokia plays the value game really well, and the Lumia 1320 is no exception. Despite its disappointing camera (the 6.7/8MP PureView module from the Lumia 720/925 would have been perfect), it is still undeniably feature-packed and priced just right.
The Lumia 1320 will appeal to those looking for a budget phablet-sized device.
