Happy Holidays to everyone in India! At a press conference in New Delhi today, Nokia India announced the launch of Nokia Lumia 1520. The phone is priced at INR 46,999 and available in four colors. Also, music to our ears, the phones are available in stores immediately.
The phone was unveiled at the Nokia World 2013 in Abu Dhabi a couple of months back. At the event though, no details about the availability in India were announced. However, we’re glad that the phone has arrived before end of the year, earlier before what I expected during Nokia World and just around when it’s been going up for sale in many countries around the globe.
Nokia Lumia 1520, as well as the Nokia Lumia 1320, are Nokia’s first foray into devices with 6-inch displays to stake claim in the growing market for phablets. It’s a pity though, that Nokia hasn’t launched the 1320 in India considering it’s cheaper of the two. No word on availability of it from Nokia India.

I'm not much of a phablet enthusiast, but several of my colleagues here at Windows Phone Central have got one, and quite like it.
