Here comes the Nokia Lumia 2520, the largest Lumia in Nokia's arsenal, but this is no phone - this is a bright and bold full-sized tablet, that boasts similar looks to Nokia's handsets. You won't find Windows Phone 8 here either, instead, ahead of Noki...
Nokia's Lumia range of phones are known for their slick lines and curved designs, and that follows through with Nokia's take on the tablet form factor. This isn't a plain black slate like so many other tablets you've seen, the Lumia 2520 is a glossy and fresh take that simply screams boldness. Ours came in a delicious candy red flavour, and unlike Microsoft's monotone Surface, the bright hue give...
We love Nokia's hardware, and the Lumia 2520 is no exception, but it's let down by the software - or lack of it. As it's toting Windows RT, you won't be able to access all the legacy and desktop apps that you may already be used to using on regular Windows, meaning you're limited to the Windows Store for supported, fullscreen Metro-style apps. It's an ever growing digital store, but it's still la...
Nokia's top-notch hardware is let down by Microsoft's lacklustre Windows 8.1, which still falls short as a tablet OS. There's still an alarming lack of dedicated apps, and the awkward touch-screen navigation of its desktop mode is begging for a mouse o...
