Verdict

The Nokia Lumia 2520 is a 10.1-inch Windows RT 8.1 tablet powered by a 2.2GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, 2GB of RAM, and 64GB of expandable storage via microSD. It features a bright 1080p ClearBlack IPS display (650 nits) protected by Gorilla Glass 2, built-in 4G LTE connectivity, and a 6.7MP rear camera with ZEISS optics. Main pros include its exceptional outdoor visibility, fast charging that reaches 80% in one hour, and an 8,120mAh battery offering up to 11 hours of video playback. However, significant cons include the restricted Windows RT ecosystem with a limited app selection, the lack of a built-in kickstand, and the absence of a full-sized USB port without the optional keyboard accessory.
