That said, there is an obvious drawback of 1320 though it looks pretty attractive for phablet in this category–the Camera–not sure why but Nokia is repeating the same mistake which they did with Lumia 625 where everything was fine except for a decent camera and clear black display. Comparing to the competition–the Samsung galaxy mega–the Samsung device has much better camera ( both rear and front).
I understand that 1320 is again aimed as media consumption device and has a huge batter power but after looking at the camera of Lumia 625, my doubts on the camera remains.
