At Nokia World in Abu Dhabi, Nokia  lifted the veil from its first tablet venture. Christened the 2520, the device runs on Windows 8.1 RT and will be available in a bunch of colours including cyan, red, white, and black.


In terms of its specifications, the Lumia 2520 has a 10-inch IPS display with a 1920x1080 pixel resolution. Nokia claims that the display on the tablet is great for outdoor use. Under the hood, it has a 2.2GHz Snapdragon 800 processor along with 2GB of RAM. An 8000mAh battery powers the entire package. The rear of the tablet has a 6.7MP camera and the front has a 2MP for video calling.
It has 32GB built-in storage with a 32GB expansion option via a microSD card. It also supports LTE connectivity. It measures 8.9mm in thickness and weighs 615 grams. The Lumia 2520 has a headphones jack, micro HDMI out, USB 3.0, Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi and NFC. The device will be priced at $499 (Rs. 30,750 approx.) and is expected to ship in Q4 in the US.
