The company’s official online retailer for China, Tmall, accidentally posted some of the specs for the Lumia 1520.
Engadget caught the listened and mentioned a 6-inch full 1080p screen and a 20-megapixel camera and a Snapdragon 800 from Qualcomm.
Nokia is hosting a big event on Tuesday – the Nokia World conference – and the manufacturer was rumored to have been prepping a new flagship phone to their Windows Phone lineup. If this listing is accurate, it certainly seems that the rumor mill was right.
The would retail for just over $800, which falls right in line with the top-end phones from other manufacturers sans contract.
It will be interesting to see by next summer just how manufacturers will try to entice us all to upgrade any further.

Today Nokia will host an event and they should also show the Lumia 1320 (alias Lumia 929). It has a 5" screen, a Snapdragon 800 with a Adreno 330, 32Gb storage, 2Gb RAM, LTE, etc ...
Next phone on my list is an HTC One. I want to see what all the fuss is about with Android.

For me these highend phones are too expensive, but they have a halo effect, and these specks will come down to middle range phones in few years, so this is a great thing for competition in phone busines!
For me the 1320 is more interesting case because of the price but hopefully there will be 5" version too because I have not so big hand and so the 5" size for a phone is more suitable, but I am sure that that 6" version allso have succes among those who like big phones. It is important to have good specks in different sizes!
How do you qualify that?

The windows phones where behind Android and iOs phones in screen resolution and CPU cores somewhat before this upgade. Not baddly but a little bit. Two cores where maximum and screen resolution was 720p or something like that. Not bad specks and still the most sensible to have from battlery usage perspective!
So not anything too important in that respect! The next big upgrade in Windows phone hardware would be maybe even higher resolution (for phablets) and 64bit prosessors, but there is no hurry in there. Maybe at the same time they plan to put WinRT and WinMP together in 2015...

Core count alone is completely irrelevant. WP7 was designed to be as efficient as possible on a single core and it ran as smooth and crisp as any Android on a dual- or quad-core chip. I believe dual-core support on WP8 is more about marketing than performance since consumers think they need more cores even if the OS doesn't. The fact that WP is as responsive on lesser hardware as Android is on blazing fast chips is a testament to WP's efficiency and Android's poor optimization.
Higher resolution screens also means higher power drain. The 1280x768 4.5" screens are higher PPI than Apple's first "Retina" displays and you have to have your face less than a foot from the screen before you can identify individual pixels. Again, nothing to brag about, but nothing that's holding it back either. Just another marketing blurb that doesn't actually impact use of the device.
I think it's less that WP couldn't support higher-end hardware rather than a conscientious decision that such hardware wasn't necessary.
