Nokia Lumia 2520 price, release date and where to buy - Inquirer

FINNISH PHONE MAKER Nokia took its bold first step into the tablet market at its Nokia World conference on Tuesday, unveiling the Nokia Lumia 2520.

Despite Nokia recently having been acquired by Microsoft, the Lumia 2520 sees the firm directly competing with the Microsoft Surface Pro 2 tablet. The Finnish phone maker, like Microsoft, clearly wants to attract business customers, as it has provided the slate with Microsoft Office, Outlook and an optional Power Cover keyboard.

The Lumia 2520 tablet features a 10.1in 1920x1080 resolution touchscreen, powered by a quad-core 2.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and running Microsoft's Windows RT 8.1 operating system. Like most Nokia devices, there are decent cameras too, with the firm configuring the tablet with dual 6.7MP and 2MP cameras that it claims will outperform the cameras found on rival tablet devices.

Other features include 32GB of internal storage expandable via microSD card, 4G LTE support, WiFi, NFC and an 8,000mAh battery.
