This still looks so modern even in today's standard! Even without a full screen front, it still looks gorgeous!

Imagine Nokia today adopting this design DNA. With edge to edge full screen

The most remarkable aspect of Nokia phones for me was their software, especially the UI. The UI in Lumia looks so fluid and dynamic as compared to the bland and boring UI in Android and iOS today.

I really miss Lumia. My first Lumia was 520. The last was 950.

Back in those days the Lumia 1520 was a giant with a 6 inch screen and an excellent battery life

literally crying right now !!! so sad to see nokia right now.

I still have mine. After 2 broken screens it's on its 3rd. Still works like a champ and the battery holds a charge for quite a long time. Upgraded to Windows 10 a couple of years ago.

I got this phone for 2 years and it was one of the amazing phones i ever had. Snapdragon 800, Wireless charging, pure view camera, and a screen that i thought it was amoled since the black was really black like amoled because of nokia's clear black tech. If windows mobile got all support and apps like apple and android, maybe this OS still exist today.

im so frustrated that this brand didnt took off

[PPLRRN]

I had this phone. I accidently dropped it in a pale of water, the screen got damaged, repair center advised me to just buy a new one because the screen costs as much as the phone. A few days later it healed itself. Such a great phone.

The nostalgia 💚😭

2014 was a beautiful year

Everytime when I see a video on Nokia Lumia phones....I newly fell in love with them again....there is just so many things to talk abt them which were way cooler and outstanding in dull world of iOS and Android back then

[parthsarthipandey]

1520 and 930 were my absolute favourite, best Lumia phones, let me rephrase it, the best phone in design, camera, and reliability ever launched until that time, so much ahead of time, like hmd global talk about user satisfactions, no phone is ever reached the level of satisfaction reached by these two phones

[aaronoralan]

Back in 2013 I was so excited when it just launched, I was even pick my Casio fx-570 calculator and imagine it as the Lumia 1520 due to similar size. But sadly I was only a student back then and I was unable to afford this such an expensive flagship

[Loki-skbi]

Those tiles and animations. On top of Nokia design…still my dream phone. I couldn’t afford it back then, I had to contend with the base model Lumia 610. Wish windows phone makes a comeback…

I really miss my Lumia 1520! So many things about it was ahead of its time! I had originally gone with the Note 3 at the time then later bought the Lumia 1520. At first I missed the note taking features of the Note 3 but eventually adjusted and really appreciated the Lumia offerings and the beauty of the Windows Phone OS.

This is my 1st windows phone. I chose it over the Note 3 that time. Loving its polycarbonate build and also the large screen by the time at 6 inches. I remember I'm undecided between the 1020 and the 1520, eventually I chose 1520 because of large display.

[shahroznouman]

I had lumia 920 back in the days and i tell you these devices were beasts... Loved the software and loved their camera especially
