2013-10-22
I'm Andrew hall for cnet and i'm here with nokia in abu dhabi taking a look at the Lumia 2520 it's their much-rumored first tablet from Nokia packing windows 8 a full HD screen and a quad-core processor the first thing you might notice about the tablet is its design it has a one-piece polycarbonate body that is incredibly similar to all of Nokia's Lumia phones if you already owe Lumia owner this might be the tablet to match for rest of your collection it has a 10.1 inch display which is full HD which does make things look particularly pris it's very bright and seems pretty bold too so should be fine for all your videos and photos under the hood it's packing a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor that's quad cores should provide plenty of power sadly though it's packing windows 8/rt now that's the lite version of Windows 8 rather than the full version but lets you install all your own apps so far sales of RT devices from other companies haven't been brilliant so it is a bit of a surprise to see Nokia going with this operating system nokia has loaded up some of his own stuff though including here maps and it's nakia music but lets you stream playlist of music and free around the back you'll see a 6.7 megapixel camera with a Carl Zeiss lens snarky reckons can give very good quality photos as long as you're comfortable using a 10 inch tablet to take your photos and you'll see usb3 connection and hdmi out popping it up to a big TV to help with typing you'll also be able to pick up the power keyboard now that acts as a case to tour the tablet as well as giving keyboard and a trackpad and an extra battery which gives up to 16 hours battery life in total if you fancy some lucky 8 and Windows RT action then you can pick through 2520 up for 499 dollars towards the end of the year make sure to keep the cnet for all the latest and I'm Andrew and this is the Lumia 2520
