New ozone-depleting gases found in atmosphere

PARIS: Worried scientists said Sunday they had found four new ozone-destroying gases in the atmosphere, most likely put there by humans in the last 50-odd years despite a ban on these dangerous compounds.

It is the first time since the 1990s that new substances damaging to Earth's stratospheric shield have been found, and others may be out there, they said.

"Our research has shown four gases that were not around in the atmosphere at all until the 1960s, which suggests they are man-made," the team from Europe and Australia wrote in the journal Nature Geoscience.

They analysed unpolluted air samples collected in Tasmania between 1978 and 2012, and from deep, compacted snow in Greenland.

"The identification of these four new gases is very worrying as they will contribute to the destruction of the ozone layer," added a statement from the team.

"We don't know where the new gases are being emitted from, and this should be investigated."

Three of the gases are chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) -- a group which includes chemicals traditionally found in air-conditioning, refrigerators and aerosol spray cans but banned under the Montreal Protocol.

The fourth is a hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC), part of a closely-related group of compounds which replaced CFCs but are being phased out.

More than 74,000 tonnes of the four newly-identified gases had accumulated in the atmosphere by 2012, said the team.

This is very small compared with peak emissions of CFCs in the 1980s of more than a million tonnes per year.

- Riddle of the source -

"However, the reported emissions are clearly contrary to the intentions behind the Montreal Protocol, and raise questions about the sources of these gases," the team wrote.

Two of the gases, one CFC and the HCFC, are still accumulating.

Previously, seven types of CFC and six of HCFC were known to contribute to ozone destruction.

CFCs, the main cause of the hole in the ozone layer over Antarctica, are man-made organic compounds made of carbon, chlorine and fluorine.

They were phased out from 1989, followed by a total ban in 2010.

HCFCs, CFC-like compounds which also include one or more hydrogen atoms, are less ozone-damaging but contribute to climate change by trapping more of the Sun's heat in the atmosphere.

The ozone layer comprises triple-atom oxygen molecules that are spread thinly in the stratosphere.

It plays a vital role in protecting life by filtering out ultraviolet rays that can damage vegetation and cause skin cancer.

In high latitudes in the Southern Hemisphere, where the ozone layer is damaged or subject to seasonal fluctuations, people are advised to cover exposed skin and wear sunglasses.

Possible sources for the new gases include chemicals used for insecticide production and solvents for cleaning electronic components, said the researchers.

Concentration differences between the samples suggested the dominant source was in the industrialised Northern Hemisphere, they added.

Study co-author Johannes Laube from the University of East Anglia's School of Environmental Sciences said the ozone layer stopped thinning from the late 1990s and there were signs of it starting to recover.

"As many ODSs [ozone-depleting substances], and especially CFCs, take a long time to break down once released into the atmosphere, it will be many decades until it will fully recover," he told AFP.

"Provided we do not have further unpleasant surprises."

Martyn Chipperfield, a professor of atmospheric chemistry at the University of Leeds in northern England, said the low concentrations of the four gases "do not present concern at the moment."

But, he added, "the fact that these gases are in the atmosphere and some are increasing needs investigation."

Tribo-electric,' the buzzword of the future?

PARIS: Out at sea, gentle waves provide power for thousands of homes. In cities, dancefloor moves generate electricity for nightclubs. In the countryside, hikers use leg power to recharge their phones.

It is an alluring goal of clean, reliable power free from geo-political risks -- and scientists in the United States said Tuesday it lies within reach, thanks to a smart way to harvest energy called tribo-electricity.

Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology said they had built a simple prototype device that converts stop-start movement into power.

Waves, walking and dancing -- even rainfall, computer keys or urban traffic -- could one day be harnessed to drive sensors, mobile gadgets or even electricity plants, they contend.

Zhong Lin Wang, a professor of materials science and engineering, described the invention a "breakthrough."

"Our technology can be used for large-scale energy harvesting, so that the energy we have wasted for centuries will be useful," he told AFP by email.

"Tribo-electric" is a modern term with ancient roots -- from the Greek word for "rub."

Its electricity is created from friction between two substances causing a charge of electrons to be transferred from one to the other.

It commonly happens, for instance, when plastic-soled shoes are in contact with a nylon carpet, causing the snap of static discharge when one's hand touches a metal doorknob.

Because tribo-electric is so unpredictable, it has been generally shunned as a power source.

The preferred method has been magnetic induction -- a turbine driven by nuclear- or fossil-powered steam or water.

But, in a new study published in the journal Nature Communications, Wang's team said they had overcome key hurdles to converting a haphazardly-generated electrical charge into current.

Their prototype comprises a disc about 10 centimetres (four inches) across, designed to show the potential from a small, portable generator moved by ambient energy.

Inside are two circular sheets of material, one an electron "donor" and the other an electron "receiver," brought together through rotary movement.

If the sheets are separated, one then holds an electrical charge isolated by the gap between them.

Sandwiched between the two discs is a third disc with electrodes, which bridges the gap and helps a small current to flow.

At a top speed of 3,000 revolutions per minute, the device generated 1.5 watts.

This gave it an energy efficiency of 24 percent, three times greater than piezoelectric, the previously best source of mechanical electricity harvesting -- and as efficient as magnetic-induction turbines.

It can run on a gentle wind or tap water, or "random jerky motions," including human movement, to provide the rotation, Wang said.

"As long as there is mechanical action, there is power that can be generated."

The prototype used copper for the rotator and gold for the electrodes in lab tests, but these could easily be substituted for low-cost synthetics, he said.

The team is working on ways to scale up tribo-electric energy for harvesting power from the ocean. (AFP)

Cookbook returned to library after 21-plus years

LAWRENCE: More than two decades after a cookbook was checked out of a Kansas library, it's just now been returned.

6NewsLawrence reports a copy of "The Versatile Grain and the Elegant Bean: A Celebration of the World's Most Healthful Foods" was placed in a Lawrence Public Library return box one night this week. The book had been checked out on Sept. 24, 1992.

Library official Kristin Soper speculates the borrower misplaced the volume and came across it just recently. The maximum late fee in 1992 was $3; it's now $4.50.

"The Versatile Grain and the Elegant Bean" contains more than 300 recipes from around the world. Reviewers noted in 1992 that its publication coincided with growing U.S. interest in healthy cooking.

Potent new painkiller stokes alarm in US

WASHINGTON: A potent new painkiller hit the US market this week, despite warnings from top experts that the drug may deliver a deadly setback in America's battle with opioid addiction.

Zohydro ER can contain 10 times the amount of hydrocodone as the most popular prescription painkiller, Vicodin, and is easily crushable so it could be snorted, bearing none of the recent safeguards added to pills like OxyContin (oxycodone).

In a nation where some 15,000 people die annually from prescription painkiller use, the drug's approval has raised alarm among doctors, lawmakers and relatives of those lost to overdose.

Two senators have launched an investigation into practices by the US Food and Drug Administration, amid allegations that pharmaceutical companies eager for a chunk of the $9 billion painkiller market may have paid to influence regulators' decisions.

"It's almost unheard of," said Andrew Kolodny, president of the group Physicians for Responsible Opioid Prescribing.

"For FDA to approve a drug that is going to make a serious problem worse, it is pretty shocking."

Zohydro was approved in October 2013, even though a panel of FDA-convened experts voted against 11-2. The FDA is not obligated to follow the advice of its advisory committees, but it typically does.

An FDA spokesman told AFP the decision was made "after careful consideration," and "the product's benefits outweigh its risks when used as intended."

Zohydro contains pure hydrocodone in a range of doses, including time-release options that are much stronger than competitor products.

It does not contain acetaminophen, which can cause liver damage and death in high doses and is included in most other prescription opioids.

The drugmaker, California-based Zogenix, said in a statement that the "acetaminophen-free formulation of extended release hydrocodone is an important therapeutic option for certain chronic pain patients."

Finally, Marvel's ready for you to hear its comics (scoop)

Marvel upgrades its subscription app with a long-promised smart soundtrack and DVD-style video commentary, after spending a year laying the foundation for a more multimedia-friendly comics reading experience.

Starting with the popular story Captain AmericaL The Winter Soldier, Marvel is adding "adaptive audio" to some of its digital comics.

It's a fallacy of the superhero genre that a new costume accompanies every power boost the hero earns. That's also the case with a major upgrade to Marvel Unlimited, the preferred (and only) subscription-based comics reading app for fans of Spider-Man, Iron Man, and Captain America.
Scheduled to be announced on Sunday afternoon's Marvel panel at South by Southwest Interactive in Austin, Texas, and currently live in Apple's iTunes Store, the new version of Marvel Unlimited looks a lot like the old version of Marvel Unlimited. Don't let that fool you, though, as the changes could present a way forward for smarter integration between traditional comics and multimedia features.

A year in the making, the new version of the app comes with three important changes: transitions from one panel to the next are faster and smoother, there's now adaptive audio, and Marvel AR's DVD-style extras are now included in its digital comics for the first time.
While the added features might turn off more traditionalist comics readers, Kristin Vincent, Marvel's vice president of digital products, said that the goal was to make digital comics feel more digital without losing their essential nature.
"We knew we had something conceptually," she said of last year's adaptive audio announcement by Marvel at SXSW, "but we weren't sure how it was going to work with comics. We wanted to figure out how we could tell stories in new ways."
Arune Singh, executive director of TV Communications at Marvel, described the change as one that could alter how the company makes its comics available electronically.
"The way we used to paste comics together on the page in production, so far we have been pasting comics on our iPad," he said. "Now, we have adaptive audio."
The features can also be disabled in the Options panel. Because Marvel Unlimited is a subscription-based app, the features have been added at no extra cost. To entice new readers, Marvel has dropped the cost of subscribing for the first month to $0.99, if you sign up by March 14 with the promo code SXSW99. Normally and thereafter, Marvel Unlimited costs $9.99 per month, or $69.99 per year.

The DVD-extras added commentary of Marvel AR videos now comes to Marvel's digital comics.

The overhaul to the comics reader has swapped out HTML5 for native iOS code, so page turning and panel transitions are smoother. The update to the Android app is "so, so close," Vincent said. Both were done as work-for-hire by Chaotic Moon, Marvel's long-standing partner on Marvel Unlimited.
The big new feature, though, is that Marvel is finally making available to its readers what it calls "adaptive audio." It's similar to a background soundtrack or movie score, but it detects when you move from one panel to the next and plays themed music appropriate to each panel. It can also gauge how quickly the reader is changing panels and will adapt the score to suit the pace of the reader, says Marvel.
The music plays from when the comic loads, starting with the book's cover, and then adding in adaptive elements such as the pinging sonar of a submarine when viewing a panel of a submarine and mines.
The adaptive audio, which is only available on Captain America: The Winter Soldier storyline at first, probably owing to the extra time required to create the score for each comic. Vincent said that other comics will be added, but added that Marvel wants to hear from its fans on what they think of the debut.

More traditional fans can disable the new features through the options panel.

"I think we have the best fans in the world, and the most vocal fans in the world. We're always watching the metrics," she said. "We look for what people are sharing in the social space. We're very in tune with our fans, or at least try to be, and move where they move."
Marvel's previous partners on the adaptive audio, CORD and Momentum, are no longer working on the project. In their place, Marvel has signed on Melbourne, Australia-based Firelight Technologies' FMOD, which also is used in video games such as Crysis, Bioshock and Guitar Hero, and contracted with Emmy-nominated composer David Ari Leon's SoundMind Music. SoundMind is no stranger to Marvel, having also worked on Marvel cartoons and motion comics.
Marvel AR, or augmented reality, videos have been available previously only to people who bought the printed comic. You would then have to hold your phone or tablet over an AR-enabled panel to activate the video, and it would show you a behind-the-scenes look at the comic, often interviews with writers or artists, or the process of developing the page.
Marvel has begun integrating that AR content into Marvel Unlimited with 20 videos related to the first issue of author Jonathan Hickman's Avengers series from 2012. The company plans to move its current 1,400 videos to Marvel Unlimited, Vincent said, as well as adding new videos.

Microsoft, HP blaze business tablet trail

The HP ElitePad 1000 inside its 'security jacket.' It is one of the first tablets to run 64-bit Windows 8.1 on Intel's quad-core Bay Trail processor.

(Credit: Hewlett-Packard) Hewlett-Packard and Microsoft think the tablet is more lean forward than lean back. Are they right?
The PC has one (at least) distinct advantage over Apple. Windows 8.1 isn't a mobile operating system like iOS. In other words, the same 64-bit Windows 8.1 that runs on a brawny desktop PC now runs on featherweight 8-inch and 10-inch tablets.
And that may be a good thing because the tablet is in dire need of new markets, with predictions that the rate of growth will drop sharply in 2014.
"As consumer shipments slow in many markets, commercial (business) shipments will grow as a percentage of the overall mix," IDC said earlier this week.
Enter new HP ElitePad 1000. The tablet design itself isn't especially unique, but the array of accessories that come with it, are.
All are aimed at making it a tablet for productivity -- aka doing work. Those add-ons (PDF) include a productivity jacket, a docking station, a security jacket, and expansion jacket, just to mention a few.
And it's one of the first to run 64-bit Windows 8.1 on Intel's quad-core Intel "Bay Trail" processor, which, until recently, ran Windows in 32-bit mode.
"The pressure for 64-bit, even in tablets that might not have 4GB of DRAM, is pretty strong because IT organizations want to standardize on 64-bit images and 64-bit apps," Nathan Brookwood, principal analyst at Insight 64, said in a recent interview with CNET.
"Intel tended to characterize the first generation of (32-bit) Bay Trail tablets as consumer-oriented," he said.
Microsoft, for its part, has been making 64-bit tablets for a couple of years now in the form of the Surface Pro. It led the way, for instance, on the tablet-as-a-PC concept with its Touch Cover and Type Cover keyboards.
But only with the Surface Pro 2, announced last fall, has Microsoft been able to make a convincing argument that it's also a tablet.
The power-efficient Haswell processor gives the Pro plenty of battery life, while still offering the 64-bit Windows desktop OS.

And like HP, its accessories are aimed at business. The Surface Pro docking station isn't unlike the docking stations HP has been offering on its business laptops for years.
So, maybe 2014 will be the year of the business tablet -- as the growth rate of Apple's popular tablet slows.

Candy Crush sweetens gaming for female audience

Players are given five chances to pass a level in Candy Crush.

LONDON (AFP) - With three young children and a full-time job, Emma Martini has little time for computer games. But every night she sits quietly at the end of her son s bed to reassure him while he falls asleep -- and plays Candy Crush.
"It stops me sitting there in the dark for 15 minutes staring at the wall!" the 32-year-old told AFP, laughing.

Martini is one of the legion of fans of the addictive online game, many of whom can be seen playing it at every spare minute on their tablets and smartphones.
Unlike conventional console games that can take hours, Candy Crush Saga is one of the most popular of the new "casual games" that can be played in short bursts and on the move.
It has seeped into every day life -- and attracted new audiences, with women making up two-thirds of Candy Crush players, according to its British developer King.
"I m not into computers and what little time I ve got I m inclined to spend reading a book," said Martini, a teaching assistant from Spilsby in eastern England.
But she was persuaded to download Candy Crush by her mother, 52, who was "driving me crackers" sending requests to join the game on Facebook and help her pass the next level.
Now Martini plays every evening as her four-year-old dozes off, saying: "I m filling a void of time."

"Casual gaming has really taken off in the female population," said Mark Griffiths, director of the International Gaming Research Unit at Nottingham Trent University.
"Most of it is fitting in between the baby having a sleep, or on the commute on the way home, but it s not something that takes over from the important things in your life.
"It s there as a quick fix for boredom."

-  100 percent concentration  -
===============================

Candy Crush is a simple game. There are hundreds of levels but they all involve moving brightly coloured sweets around a grid to get three of a kind in a row.
Yet it is utterly absorbing, causing travellers to miss their stop, workers to over-run their lunch hours and kids to stay up late into the night trying to get to the next level.
A gaming expert, Griffiths is a fan of traditional consoles but he plays Candy Crush on long journeys to distract himself from the pain of a long-term spinal problem.
"It s a game that requires 100 percent concentration -- you basically forget about everything around you," he told AFP.
Sophie Clayton, a 23-year-old from London who works for a jewellery company, says she is most definitely "not a gamer" but plays Candy Crush as "a boredom killer", mainly on her commute into work.
"I suppose the game is simple, unlike other electronic games. Although my sister thinks I m an idiot for playing, especially when I m stuck on a level," Clayton told AFP.
Candy Crush is free but players can pay for extras to help them move forward, a feature which nets King $850,000 (620,000 euros) in daily sales, according to the IDATE consultancy firm.
While a few people may find themselves racking up huge bills, experts say so-called "freemium" games depend on lots of people paying just a little.
Candy Crush records 700 million sessions a day, making it King s most successful product and driving the company s pursuit of a listing on the New York Stock Exchange.
For people like Tom, a 22-year-old engineer from London, the payment feature adds another challenge to the game -- to play it as much as they can without forking out a penny.
Players are given five chances to pass a level, after which they must wait for 24 hours or pay a small amount -- about $1 -- to buy back into the game immediately.

But if you set the clock on your smartphone a day ahead, the game thinks the time has passed, Tom explains.
"I did this so many times that on a Monday morning my phone clock thought it was Saturday. My alarm didn t go off and I was late for work," he admitted sheepishly.

Nokia Lumia 930 to be launched on April 19th

Nokia is all set to launch its new version in its Lumia series with Nokia Lumia 930 on April 19^th. Nokia already launched its much anticipated Nokia X series in Mobile World Congress (MWC) but it kept the launch of Lumia 930 awaiting for another occasion and it seems that 19^th April can be the day when Nokia releases Lumia 630/635 along with Nokia Lumia 930.

The date of event comes from the famous rumor monger, Eva leaks and might not be a surprise as Microsoft is also going to be conducting its BUILD conference where it will be launching its Windows 8.1 with Cortana Virtual Assistant.

Talking about the specs of this upcoming Lumia 930, it is going to be smaller in size with 4.5inch display screen. Lumia 630/635 seems to be a successor to Lumia 620 with even a dual SIM support, thanks to Windows 8.1

It seems that although all major mobile companies attended MWC but they kept their big releases out of limelight and chose to launch them on a separate platform to capture much more user attention. HTC is also going to launch successor of its award winning HTC One, HTC M8 on 25^th March.

Chinese woman world's youngest billionaire

The city of seven million, where 45 billionaires were on the Forbes list for 2014.

HONG KONG (AFP) - A 24-year-old Hong Kong-based woman has been named the world s youngest billionaire, replacing a former Facebook co-founder and spurring gossip in the city.
Perenna Kei, a graduate from the University of London who lives in Hong Kong, was ranked by Forbes as the world s youngest tycoon in its annual super-rich list, with a net worth of $1.3 billion.
"Little-known Perenna Kei, a newcomer to the list, displaces former Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz as the very youngest billionaire," Forbes said on its website along with the release of the billionaires  list.
It said her wealth grew along with the listing of a company run by her Chinese tycoon father, Ji Haipeng.
"Kei debuts on this year s Forbes Billionaires List following the Hong Kong listing in December of Logan Property Holdings," Forbes said, describing her debut as "an unexpected twist".
The city of seven million, where 45 billionaires were on the Forbes list for 2014, is a popular destination for Chinese high-rollers to set up businesses or invest in property.
A growing number of wealthy Chinese are also relocating to the city.
Logan Property is a mid-sized developer based in the mainland city of Shenzhen bordering Hong Kong.
When the company listed on the city s bourse in December, it raised some HK$1.6 billion ($206 million), the South China Morning Post said in a report at the time.
Forbes said Kei, also known as Ji Peili, has an 85 percent stake in the property firm through various companies and a trust.
Kei s debut on the global super-rich list comes as a surprise for some in the city, with the Post describing her as a "secretive woman".
A staff member at the Shenzhen office of Logan Property said Kei would not give interviews.

Meerut: 60 Kashmiri students suspended for raising pro-Pakistan slogans during cricket match

Around 60 Kashmiri students of a private university in Meerut were suspended for three days for celebrating Pakistan's victory over India in a recent cricket match, the university vice-chancellor said yesterday.

A clash broke out between 8-10 Kashmiri students and local students in the hostel premises of Swami Vivekanand Subharti University (SVSU) after they celebrated Pakistan's victory over India in a cricket match held on Sunday and raised pro-Pakistan slogans, university Vice-Chancellor Dr Mazoor Ahmed said.

Tension intensified after other students joined the clash.

University authorities have also set up a disciplinary committee to probe the incident. After preliminary investigations the authorities suspended 60 Kashmiri students for three days and asked them to vacate the hostel, Dr Ahmed said.

Around 200 Kashmiri students are enrolled in B Tech and law courses in the university.

CIA under investigation for monitoring Senate: lawmaker

WASHINGTON: The CIA's internal watchdog is investigating allegations that the agency improperly spied on Senate staffers probing secret details of a now-defunct interrogation program, a senator confirmed Wednesday.

Senator Dianne Feinstein acknowledged the existence of the review, which highlights a rare spat between lawmakers on the Senate Intelligence Committee, which she chairs, and the US espionage community it oversees.

"The IG is taking a look at the situation," Feinstein told reporters, referring to the Central Intelligence Agency's inspector general, after a New York Times report exposed Capitol Hill anger at the behavior of CIA staffers.

According to the Times, the probe began when members of Congress complained that agency employees were inappropriately monitoring intelligence committee staffers.

The paper cited an official, who insisted on anonymity because the investigation was ongoing, as saying CIA officers managed to gain access to computer networks used by committee staffers probing the agency's detention and interrogation program.

The staffers had spent years researching and writing a 6,000-page bipartisan report that was highly critical of the program, which began under president George W. Bush.

In December 2012, when the report was approved by her committee, Feinstein described the creation of clandestine "black sites" and the use of enhanced interrogation techniques such as waterboarding as "terrible mistakes."

Feinstein and her committee have been in the spotlight in recent months for their strong support of National Security Agency espionage programs like the ones exposed by former contractor Edward Snowden.

Some lawmakers fumed that, if true, the alleged impropriety showed that the separation of powers were fraying.

"If they were doing that I'm outraged," Senator John McCain told reporters, adding that a full investigation would be merited.

"You just can't have that happen in a democracy. There's a separation of powers between the legislative branch and the executive branch."

Senator Marco Rubio, an intelligence committee member, declined to comment on specific allegations.

But when asked whether the committee could provide adequate oversight of the CIA, he responded "we endeavor to."

The controversy appeared to have been sparked by Senator Mark Udall, who the Times said wrote President Barack Obama on Tuesday to complain.

"As you are aware, the CIA has recently taken unprecedented action against the committee in relation to the internal CIA review, and I find these actions to be incredibly troubling for the committee's oversight responsibilities and for our democracy," Udall wrote, according to the Times.

Nokia Lumia 1520 Unboxing and Review

What’s in the box

Here’s what we found in the Nokia Lumia 1520 box (see the unboxing video for more!)

• Nokia Lumia 1520 (surprise surprise!)
• SIM ejector tool
• Protective case with front cover
• Manuals
• In-ear headphones with spare earbuds
• Wall charger
• Micro-USB cable
  

  Hardware

  As mentioned, the Nokia Lumia 1520 is a phablet- the hybrid of a phone and tablet, and it would appeal to an audience who specifically likes to use large devices. Keeping a big phone in the pocket is certainly not comfortable; but for those who like it, Lumia 1520 is a good choice. The moment you pick it up, it feels like a quality product, due to its polycarbonate body that feels really good in hand, and looks elegant with the matte finish. It has a 6-inch IPS display with a Full HD resolution (1920×1080) with 367ppi pixel density, and the display is gorgeous. It’s probably the only Lumia device with a 1080p display as of now, and has Gorilla Glass 2 on top of that. It has a Quad-core processor with 2GB of RAM (and it really shows, the device is incredibly snappy!). It also has 32 GB of built-in storage and a microSD card slot for further expansion. The camera on the back is 20 Megapixels, with support for shooting video up to 1080p at 30fps with stereo sound recording, and also has a dual-LED flash. It isn’t as excellent as the Lumia 1020’s super awesome 41 megapixel camera  but it hold up pretty well against its sibling. The front camera is a 1.2 megapixel shooter (pretty decent for all you selfie fans out there!). This phablet accommodates a nano SIM, despite its huge size (and that’s ironic, in a very interesting way). Since it is a phablet, we expected it to have a stylus as well, but it doesn’t have one. Other than these things, the Lumia 1520 has all the usual stuff that most common smartphones have these days- including (but not limited to) Bluetooth 4.0, WiFi a/b/g/n/ac with hotspot ability, noise cancellation mic, and NFC etc.
  Software
  The Lumia 1520 runs Windows Phone 8 with the latest Lumia Black update which includes double tap to wake, and the ‘glance’ feature where you just wave your hand over the phone to turn the screen on. It even works when you pull the phone out of your pocket, and the screen comes on just to show you the time (and any notifications). On first look at the unlocked screen, you can see how the OS makes use of the larger screen, and there are different tile sizes. You can have small, medium, and large tiles just like all other Windows Phone devices, but it’s the number of tiles along the width that make the difference. This essentially means you can have a wide array of tiles on the start screen. With more screen real estate available, the keyboard also scales up, and is easier to type on (I’ve always found it difficult to type on a Lumia’s keyboard, but this one was an exception). But other than that, the OS doesn’t really seem to make effective use of the added screen space (as seen in some Android phablets).

  Hands-on Approach

  In terms of daily usage, the Nokia Lumia 1520 feels like a solid and sturdy phone (and is also relatively heavier). It isn’t really meant to be used with one hand, unless you have big hands. The camera is pretty decent, and features almost all the controls that the Lumia 1020 had (but the camera result is definitely not that comparable). Watching high quality videos is a superb experience on the Full HD screen, and the protective cover comes in handy, as it doubles as a landscape stand for the phone, so that you can sit back and enjoy the content being played on the screen. The screen is the second most notable feature about this phone- first one being the size.
  Overall, the Nokia Lumia 1520 is a perfect device for those looking for a phone-tablet hybrid and for those convenient with its handling. The camera is pretty decent, and the phone itself is fast and snappy. Whether it’s your first experience of using a Lumia device, or even if you’re an existing Lumia user, you won’t be disappointed. The Lumia 1520 lives up to its name (and size), and this too, gets or seal of approval!
