Nokia Lumia 2520-Surprising Move By Nokia

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,

Memory:

The 2520 is available only in one model on that is the 32 GB model, on basis of memory. But, you also have the option to expand the memory with the help of a microSD card slot.

Battery, Colors and Price:

The Non Removable 800 mAh can offer a maximum standby time of 25 days, which is excellent.

The device is available in Red, Black, White and everybody's favorite Nokia Color Cyan.

The price is about $499 in US, UK and Finland without considering the local taxes and subsidies.

Conclusion:

The Nokia Lumia 2520 is designed absolutely beautifully, like all other Nokia phones. It also has amazing specs on paper. We just have to review the device to tell you how well those specs perform in day to day activities.

The price of this device is also not placed ridiculously high like most of the tablets that you can find in the market right now.

So that's our review on the Nokia Lumia 2520.

Nokia Lumia 1520-Nokia's Retribution

Nokia 1520-Nokia's High End Phablet:

Nokia has been in hot waters recently. The company is seriously trying to make amends and renter the technology industry using several methods from introducing a 41 mega-pixel phone to making a full-fledged tablet which is the Lumia 2520.

It also plans to enter the successful phablet market by introducing two new devices this year, The Lumia 1520 and The Lumia 1320. So here is our review on the Nokia Lumia 1520.

Design:

At first glance this device looks like a pumped up Lumia 925 which debut earlier this year. But on looking closer it seems to resemble the design of not only the chassis of the Lumia 925 but also the design of earlier, Lumia 920.

The display on the front of the device looks remarkably similar to the display of the Lumia 920.
The 1520 offers a full aluminium body which feels quite significant in your hands.
The back features a camera aperture is quite prominent at the back, resembling the aperture of the 925.

Camera:

The camera on board the 1520 is one of the most significant features of the device.
The primary camera on the back features a 20 mega-pixel sensor.
Nokia has always been known for its amazing camera technology and the 1520 is no exception.

The camera takes excellent pictures in bright, dim and low light. It features Carl Zeiss Optics on board with an added benefit of Optical Image Stabilization, which offers that much more better pictures and video by elimination almost all of the shakiness from the stills.

It features a secondary camera on the front with a 1.2 mega-pixel sensor.
The primary camera can shoot 1080p video whereas the secondary camera can shoot 720p video.

Display:

A massive spec bump from previous gen Lumia smartphones is the display. Nokia has slapped on a Full HD 6.0 inch display with a resolution of 1920x1080 with an average pixel density of 367 ppi which looks pretty good on the screen of this size.

The IPS display is protected by Corning's Gorilla Glass 2 and Nokia has also inducted its ClearBlack display into this device.

Internal Specs:

Specs on this device look excellent on paper.
The Qualcomm MSM8974 Snapdragon 800 chipset features a Quad -Core 2.2 GHz Krait 400 CPU for handling all processing that it is subjected to.

The RAM onboard maxes out at 2 GB for handling process and multi-tasking
The graphics is handled by an Adreno 330, which is a top of the line GPU.

Operating System:

The 1520 features Microsoft's Windows Phone 8. The screen beautifully compliments the vivid colors of the operating system. The color can be adjusted as per the user's taste and a wide palette of colors is also provided to do the same.

But, as we know Windows Phone 8 doesn't provide the level of customization that is available in iOS let alone the ones that can be found in an Android Ecosystem. This is usually the complaint of tech nerds who live and breath customization on their phone.
However this OS is incredibly easy to use and navigate, and it is the choice of may people who lie outside of the tech community.

Connectivity:

The 1520 features 2G, 3G and 4G LTE bands.
Wi-Fi is also prominent on the device for using the net.
Bluetooth 4.0 is also present onboard.
It also features wireless charging and has support for the standard Qi wireless charging.

Battery, Colors And Price:

The battery is Lithium-Ion which has a capacity of 3400 mAh.
It is available in red, black, yellow and white.
The Nokia Lumia 1520 is available for 700 euros for pre-order as of right now.

 Conclusion:

The Nokia Lumia 1520 is a pretty good smartphone and specs pop out on paper.
We have to review the device to see how good those specs perform, that's all we can say for now.

So that's our review on The Nokia Lumia 1520.
Be sure to +1 this post on Google Plus as it most definitely helps us a lot.

Stay tuned for the review on the Lumia 1320 and 2520.
