The official debut of the Nokia Lumia 1320 smartphone reviewed in this article took place in Abu Dhabi last year. As representatives of the manufacturing company stated during the presentation, in this device, the developers sacrificed high-end filling for the sake of mass and budget.
General Description

On the front side of the device there are three touch control keys - "Search", "Desktop" and "Back".
Display
The model received a six-inch screen created using IPS technology. Its maximum resolution is HD, not Full HD, which some Nokia 1320 users would like. Feedback from many owners and experts, on the other hand, indicates that this is quite enough for watching videos, photos, reading and playing games. The use of proprietary technology in the device, known as "Nokia ClearBlack", guarantees large viewing angles. It also ensures the readability of the text and a decent display of information when direct sunlight hits the display directly. The latest generation Gorilla Glass protects the Nokia 1320 screen from scratches. A cover for the device will significantly extend its life.
