Nokia Lumia 2520 Review

(RX-114)     See other variants reviews Score: 68.6 / 100

Nokia Lumia 2520 is a great tablet launched in October 2013, packing a 10.1 inches multi touch display, a high speed Quad-Core processing unit clocking at 2200 MHz, and 2 cameras, a 6.7 mega-pixels back-facing camera and a 2 mega-pixels front facing camera. That's everything we have to say? No, it's just the beginning.

It appears that Nokia forgot about optimizing the weight in this 21.69 ounces portable tablet. This tablet is a very compact tablet device, taking into consideration it features a 10.1 inches display and it only has 10.51 inches long and 6.61" wide. The Nokia Lumia 2520 is incredibly slim, with a thickness of just 0.35". Nokia is offering the Nokia Lumia 2520 in multiple colors like black, blue, red and white.

This device is equipped with a good looking 1080 x 1920 (Full HD) 10.1 inches screen, making everything look beautiful. Its screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, with a brightness of 665 candela/m2 and allows multi-touch gestures.

The Lumia 2520 ships with an exceptional 2.2 GHz Quad-Core CPU, bundled in a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 MSM8974 system chip and a huge 2 GB RAM memory. To handle graphic rendering, the Lumia 2520 also uses a 450 megahertz Adreno 330 GPU. A great advantage of the Lumia 2520 is its big 32 GB internal storage memory and an external memory slot, which allows the user to store tons of apps, games, songs, photos and videos without thinking about filling it.

The Lumia 2520 has two cameras, a 6.7 MP back-facing camera and a 2 megapixels front-facing camera. It is also able to capture 1920x1080 Full HD videos at 30 frames per second. The camera also includes geo tagging and auto-focus.

This tablet features an inmense 8000 mAh non-replaceable battery, enough to provide this device with an impressive battery duration. An issue to take into consideration is that the Nokia Lumia 2520's battery isn't removable so you can't buy a new battery when it begins to have trouble holding its charge, whereas with so much capacity you will probably discard this tablet before it becomes an issue.

This device features wifi capability (and it can share it with other devices around, acting as a wireless router), LTE 4G great performance connectivity and also HSPA+ connection type, which is a bit slower 4G technology and fast 3G connectivity, over HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This tablet works with a Micro SIM card to connect to GSM networks.

The Lumia 2520 also comes with a handful of cool characteristics such as NFC (Near Field Communication), Bluetooth and GPS, and a few sensors likeAccelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

The Nokia Lumia 2520 is very overpriced considering it costs $ 580, while many similar tablet devices cost a lot less than that. The Lumia 2520 is probably the right choice if you want a device for gaming, are an amateur photographer, need a tablet for work or want a social tablet. The Lumia 2520 comes with SIM Door Key, Nokia Wall Charger AC-300 and Quick guide.
