The Nokia Lumia 2520-Nokia's Entry Into The Tablet Industry:
This week has been an outing for Nokia and Windows 8 users, with the release of three brand new Nokia Windows 8 devices.The released Devices include the Lumia 1520, 1320 and the Lumia 2520. The first two are large screen smartphones, while the third is a full fledged laptop or tablet functioning just like Microsoft's Surface.
We have already reviewed the 1520 and the 1320 and now it is time to review the 2520.
Display:
The 2520 features an absolutely beautiful 10.1 inch Full HD screen, with a resolution of 1080x1920.It has a pretty awesome pixel density of 218 ppi. It's form factor is similar to that of Samsung's Galaxy Note 10.1 which; as the name suggests, also has a 10.1 screen.
The screen is protected by Corning's Gorilla 2 and also features Nokia's ClearBlack display technology which first debut in the Lumia 920.
Internal Specs:
The chipset onboard is Qualcomm's Snapdragon 800 which features a Quad-Core 2.2 GHz Krait 400 CPU which looks amazing on paper.It also an Adreno 330 to handle graphically intense games and apps.
The RAM has a capacity of 2 GB.
On paper, this is an excellent device which amazing specs, which appear almost identical to the best of the best tablets out there.
Operating System:
This device is a Lumia; so there is no surprise that this one runs Windows 8.But there is a catch. It is not the full-fledged Windows 8 that we can see featuring on the Surface 2 or Surface Pro; but it is the less advance Windows RT 8.1.
It still performs amazingly well, but there are certain aspects which you will miss if you are a regular user of Windows 8.
Keeping that fact aside, the Operating System just flows.
No hiccups no hangs or lags. We know that the Windows ecosystem never required great specs to run it, but hey they most certainly do help it a lot.
Compatibility With Other Lumia Devices:
Nokia has incorporated a unique feature into the 2520 which allows you to stream your content on either of your devices, if you happen to own a Lumia phone. This allows cross-platform syncing of music between your phone and your tablet.
Camera:
The primary camera has a 6.7 mega-pixel sensor with Carl Zeiss optics. It has the capability of shooting full HD video.
The secondary camera on the front has a 2 mega-pixel sensor, which can capture 720p video.
We are not yet sure about the quality of the camera as this device has not yet reached markets, for us to review.
Connectivity:
The 2520 features all the regular connectivity options with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 etc.An interesting point to be noted is the fact that, the 2520 also is one of the first device to feature USB 3.0 just like Samsung's Galaxy Note 3.
It features 4G LTE and Nokia is offering the LTE model, there will be no Wi-Fi only variant for this device,
