Android devices have the phablet down to a science, as manufacturers such as Samsung, LG, and HTC have successfully churned out larger-than-normal Android phones with amazing specs. However, Apple has recently jumped into the phablet bandwagon with its iPhone 6 Plus—which is reportedly Apple's best-selling smartphone of 2014—and even Nokia has delivered with its supersized Nokia Lumia 1520.

Here, we compare the two handsets:

Design:
The iPhone 6 Plus has the same premium feel as the iPhone 6. It has an aluminium body and it measures 6.22 x 3.06 x 0.28 inches and weighs 6.07 ounces.

Meanwhile, the Lumia 1520 has curved sides, rounded edges, and like other Lumia devices, it is covered in a colorful plastic shell. The phone measures 6.41 x 3.36 x 0.34 inches and weighs 7.37 ounces. The handset is available in yellow, white, green, black, and red.

When it comes to looks, the iPhone 6 Plus wins for its luxurious design, but those who want a break from the typical metallic-looking phone might prefer the vividly colored Lumia 1520.

The Apple device comes in several internal storage options from 16GB to 128GB, but this cannot be expanded. As for the Nokia phone, it comes in 16GB and 32GB variants and can be expanded with a microSD card up to 64GB.

The Lumia 1520 has an excellent rear-facing 20MP camera, and up front is a 1.2MP shooter. The iPhone 6 Plus has an 8MP rear-facing camera and a 1.2MP front-facing camera.
