Nokia two phablet and tablet Lumia 2520: Finnish enters the house ... - The Messenger

ABU DHABI – Inevitable, perhaps late, but the best time thanks to the growth in sales of smartphones, Nokia makes official entry into the tablet world with the Lumia 2520.

The most anticipated was the last of the products unveiled by Stephen Elop on stage at the Nokia World stage this year in Abu Dhabi. After the new Asha, low-end smartphone dedicated to emerging markets, to smartphones in 1520 and 1320, the first two phablet display with 6” ever produced by the Finns, the spotlight is on the first access tablet developed by Nokia.

Into One step that seemed certain until a few months ago and after the Microsoft acquisition was shrouded in mystery, and that materialized before the vast audience of journalists and experts from all over the world, including Jan koum, one of the founders and current CEO of Whatsapp, chat more widespread at least in our country, who praised Nokia Windows Phone: “Every day we have 250 thousand downloads from Nokia devices, Lumia and Asha.”

” We think more and more big, that we enter into with our planet tablet Lumia 2520 “based on the introductory remarks of Elop. A debut in every sense, because the 2520 is also the first device made without Windows Phone, replaced by Windows RT 81. A risky choice on the one hand, especially considering the flop of the previous models with the operating system, but on the other hand forced, because betting on Windows 8 would produce a change of direction veering more towards a notebook and a tablet.

The vitality of Nokia in the field of photography left to hope for something amazing in terms camera, however we must be content with a 6.7 Mp sensor with Carl Zeiss optics f/1.9 (for the first time on a tablet) to shoot HD video at 60fps. With Nokia Camera, however, you can manually change all the parameters and with Nokia Storyteller you can remember places and times for every shot, with every detail shown on a map. 2MP front camera, 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal memory, expandable up to 64GB via microSD, completes the framework for hardware. On the software front, besides the usual applications such as Office and Outlook, Nokia has pre-installed the game Dragons Adventure, because Elop “the quad-core chip that comes with it is perfect for games.”
