It really wasn't a big secret that that Nokia was working on for over the last year and half, the company's Windows 8.1 RT tablet, is now official as the Lumia 2520. The device is supposed to launch before the end of the year for $499, and overall it looks and feels incredibly solid, if not a bit predictable: its uni body polycarbonate design and sleek curves scream to the world that it's very much a Lumia device, regardless of its screen size. There are four colors available: red or white with a glossy finish, and black or cyan with a matt finish. We found the glossy versions to be less grip-friendly, but it won't make much difference if you're using a case with it.
With a 10.1-inch full HD resolution and 650 nit brightness, the display is simply brilliant and offers great viewing angles. Nokia's selling point on this panel, however, is its five percent reflectance -- in English, this means the 2520 should be clearly visible both indoors and out.There's a 2MP front-facing cam for video chatting, as well as a 6.7MP f/1.9 camera on the back (it uses the same module as the Lumia 720). You'll also get LTE connectivity, a micro-USB 3.0 connector for data transfers and an 8,000mAh battery with Qualcomm Quick Charge tech (which unfortunately requires the use of a proprietary plug).
As i said earlier, if you've played around with Lumia phones in the past, the 2520 will be immediately familiar to you. It's much thinner and sleeker than we originally expected, and it's very comfortable to hold. Nokia's also created a power keyboard of its own which reminds us a bit of the Microsoft Surface Touch Cover, although it offers an additional battery, a couple USB 2.0 ports on the back, foldable segments that let you transform it into a stand and raised keys that offer a bit more travel.
