As we noted in our Surface 2 review, the situation is a little better with Windows RT 8.1, thanks to the inclusion of Outlook for enterprise users, while features like system-wide Bing search and more flexible split-screen layouts for multitasking help streamline things in everyday use.

Windows RT continues to be contentious, Microsoft’s version of Windows 8 for ARM-based processors still occupying a shaky middle-ground where apps are in relatively short supply and background compatibility is absent. There’s also a microSD card slot, which shares tray space with the nano SIM card for the modem it’ll handle up to a 32GB card. Inside, Qualcomm’s 2.2GHz quadcore Snapdragon 800 is paired with 2GB of memory and 32GB of storage.

Unfortunately, Nokia didn’t have Power Keyboard samples available in time for review. Nokia’s keys have more travel than those on the Type Cover 2, and there’s also an integrated battery billed as adding up to 5hrs more, and two full-sized USB 2.0 ports. Nokia fits an extra flap to its version, though, which wraps around the opposite edge and helps keep the cover closed it also accommodates a small trackpad. That works with Nokia’s optional Power Keyboard, which magnetically clings to the Lumia 2520 much in the way that Microsoft’s Type Cover 2 keyboard attaches to the Surface 2. Along the top there’s a power button and volume rocker, while on the bottom there’s a proprietary docking connector. Other connectivity includes a microUSB 3.0 port and a micro HDMI port on one side, and a 3.5mm headphone jack on the other (confusingly similar to the charging connector which is also on the same edge).

In the US, Verizon and AT&T will offer the Lumia 2520 complete with data packages, though of course owners will be able to use them WiFi-only (and the unsubsidized model will be $499) there’s WiFi a/b/g/n (not 802.11ac) along with Bluetooth 4.0 and NFC. As you might expect from a phone company, LTE is standard-fit for the Lumia 2520, with support for the 2,4,5, and 17 LTE bands, and up to 150 Mbps downloads. Whereas most tablet ranges begin with a WiFi-only version, helping keep prices down, and some companies – like Microsoft – don’t even offer cellularly-enabled models, Nokia has skipped WiFi-only altogether. The other special skill the Lumia 2520 offers is in its connectivity. That does seem to be more down to brightness than reduced reflectance, however we couldn’t notice much difference on that front compared to other tablets. The extra-bright display is part of that proposition, and it’s certainly a great addition: the brightness means you can take it outdoors and work without having to necessarily worry about the angle of the sun, while watching video in the garden is eminently possible too.

On the front you get a 10.1-inch, 16:9 aspect Full HD display, which Nokia is particularly proud of: it uses a particularly bright 665 Nits LCD topped with Gorilla Glass 2, for improved outdoor visibility and broader viewing angles there’s also a special coating to supposedly cut down on reflections.Īccording to Nokia, while most existing tablets get used in the morning and in the evening, with downtime in-between, the Lumia 2520 is designed to help fill in that middle lull.

The glossy red of our review model feels solid in the hand, though there’s some noticeable flex to the back panel. That’s because Nokia opts for polycarbonate plastic rather than the metal chassis of Microsoft’s tablet, a rounded-edged slab that looks much like an oversized Lumia 1520. Shorter and narrower than the Surface 2, at 267 x 168 x 8.9 mm, the Lumia 2520 is also lighter, at 615g than its soon-to-be step-sibling.
