So it’s official, Nokia was actually working on a tablet and it was running Windows RT and not the full version of Windows 8, despite Microsoft being the only other manufacturer willing to build a Windows RT tablet.
If the Lumia 2520 looks familiar, that’s because it follows a similar design language as other Lumia devices, but just in a larger scale.
Inside of Nokia’s Windows RT-based slate is a 2.2GHz Snapdragon 800 CPU, as well as an LTE modem — meaning you can get online without being tethered to a WiFi signal.
One of the things Nokia is most proud of with the Lumia 2520 is the extremely bright screen, measuring 650nit — which is even readable in the sunny city of Abu Dhabi. The 10.1-inch display is also made out of Gorilla Glass 2 so it should be able to take a knock or two.
Nokia’s optic technology has also made it onto the big screened device, with a 6.7-megapixel Carl Zeiss rear-facing camera and a 2-megapixel front-facing camera. Quick charging is also on-board, with the tablet charging its 8000mAh to half full in 50 minutes. If you need an extra boost then you could always go out and buy the $149 Nokia Power Keyboard, which promises up to five hours more battery life, as well as two extra USB ports.
Buying a Lumia 2520 won’t set you back all that much, with pricing set at $499 for either a white/red glossy finish, or a cyan/black matte design.
