Nokia 1520
Nokia’s first large screen smart
phone, the Lumia 1520, features
a generous 6-inch display with a
1920x1080 resolution. As a function
of its size, it allows for an extra
row of app tiles to be displayed
on the windows OS home screen
(as opposed to the smaller Nokia
smartphone models). It sports
a ridiculously impressive 20MP
PureView rear facing camera, 2Gb
of RAM, a 720p HD screen made
with Gorilla Glass 3, and a quad
core Snapdragon processor plus
expandable storage capacity of up to
64GB. Nokia's also bumped up the
microphone count to four on this not
so little gadget, supporting stereo
audio capture. But perhaps best of
all… Its battery charges wirelessly via
a charging pad.

GoPro Hero 3+
GoPro’s most advanced camera ever,
the GoPro 3+ offers a host of new
features as well as improved image
quality, battery life, and a 20% smaller
and lighter body than its predecessor.
It can capture 12 megapixel stills at
up to 30 frames per second, making
it ideal for fast action sequences.
Different video mode settings allow
for smooth slow motion playback.
The little camera also sports a four
times faster Wi-Fi connection than
the previous model, and improved
audio with advanced wind-noise
reduction technology and shoots in
up to 4K. Users can also control the
camera using the GoPro app, as they
would with a remote, and then upload
photos and videos directly to various
online platforms.
