The "sources" claimed Nokia sold eight million Windows Phone devices between July and September this year. If the numbers are proven accurate, it is three times the 2.9 million units sold during the same period in 2012 and more than the 7.4 million units reported in the last 2013 quarter.

The Lumia 1320 and Lumia 1520 smartphones have similar specifications such as the 6-inch display, 3,400mAh battery capacity, microSD card slot for an additional 64GB of memory, and runs on the Windows Phone 8 operating system.
