Specs
Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pros
Pro Good battery life
With it's large battery (2500mAh), the Blu Win HD LTE will last the full day on a single charge for all but the heaviest users. What's more is that the battery is easily replaceable by removing the back cover.
Pro Great performance for the price
The Snapdragon 410 processor is commonly found in $200 phones, this phone will outperform the $200 Lumia 650 which only uses the weaker Snapdragon 212.
Pro Very affordable
BLU has even included a silicon case (the color matches the phone), which removes the need to buy a case (saving you $10-20).
Pro 6'' (1280 x 720) LCD display
The most differentiating feature of the 1320 from other smartphones is it's screen size. The display is enormous. Luckily though this display is more than just huge. The brightness is very strong and the display excels in outdoor visibility because of the built in polarizing filters. The 1320 also offers a super-sensitivity option in the settings that allows for the use of the touchscreen with gloves. The super-sensitive display is protected by Gorilla Glass 3.

Pro 3400 mAh battery
The 1320 shares the same battery as the 1520. Both the 1520 and the 1320 take advantage of their large size and give the user fantastic battery life. Although the 1320 is even better though with its more modest specifications. A heavy user should easily make it through the day and if you are a light user 2-3 days is reasonable. Unfortunately though the battery is non-replaceable if the battery life ever decreases over time.
Pro Fantastic unlocked price
The 1320 is available online unlocked and contract free for just over $300. This is a fantastic price for a phone of this size and quality.
Pro Dual-core 1.7 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 with 1GB of RAM
A dual core chip with 1GB of RAM is not exactly an impressive specification in the Android world. But Windows Phone is known to run perfectly smooth and consistent on all devices from the budget Lumia 520 with 512 MB of RAM to flagships with quad-core processors and 2GB of RAM like the Lumia 1520. The 1320 handles tasks admirably with only very heavy gamers maybe needing a more powerful processor. On the SunSpider JavaScript benchmark the 1320 recieved a score of 703 which is lower than the Note III, iPhone 5s, and Lumia 1520 but higher than the Galaxy S4, HTC One, and Nexus 5.
Pro Vibrant color choices
One of the best impacts Nokia has had on the smartphone industry is the influx of color. No longer are smartphones limited to the tired colors of black and white. The 1320 is available in a bright yellow, orange, white, and black.
Pro MicroSD card support
The 1320 has a MicroSD card slot for storage expansion. Currently with Windows Phone 8, only user files such as music and photos can be put on the card. But with the upcoming Windows Phone 8.1 update applications can be saved to the card and MicroSD cards up to the massive 128GB size will be supported.
Cons
Con 8GB of on-board storage
Only 4GB is accessible to the user (after the OS is installed), but there is a SD card slot for added storage if needed.
Con 5 MP rear facing camera and VGA front facing camera
The cameras are nothing impressive but this was a concession Nokia had to make to keep the price down. Overall the performance is respectable but it is no PureView. Low light performance is lacking as well with no OIS like other Lumias.
Con 8GB of internal storage
The 1320's only option for internal storage is 8GB to keep the price down. Fortunately the device has MicroSD support.
