Outside of customizing hubs and tiles within the operating system, there is very little difference between any two Windows 8 devices. This is somewhat of a problem in Windows 8 devices including the Pro, RT and Phone divisions: The user interface looks the way Microsoft wants it to look. Really, except for the Nokia-specific features, the Surface 2 and the Lumia 2520 might as well be the same tablet. If youвЂ™ve ever used Windows RT, youвЂ™re not going to be surprised or enlightened by the operating system in the Lumia 2520. ItвЂ™s primarily designed for parents to give their kids on road trips.

Nokia does bring a couple of third-party apps specifically to the Lumia 2520, including DreamWorks Dragon Adventure, a game based on the movie How To Train Your Dragon. Since Microsoft and Nokia are almost the same company, the two might as well push for a single sign-on for all the apps between the two companies. The only problem with the Nokia-specific apps is that they require the user to establish a Nokia account instead of just using the Microsoft account that Windows 8.1 RT forces users to sign up for on Windows devices. These are welcome additions to the standard Microsoft core apps that run on Windows 8.1 RT. Nokia HERE Maps, Nokia Music, Storyteller, Nokia Camera and the Nokia Video Director all make their way to the Lumia 2520. Unlike Microsoft, Nokia is no stranger to building apps for ARM devices, and so offers a number of proprietary services that run on top of Windows RT. These specs (the battery and processor mostly) are all top of the line for a device running on an ARM chip and give Nokia a respectable offering at the top of the tablet market. At one pound ,5.7 ounces, itвЂ™s heavier than the iPad Air but still doesnвЂ™t feel too clunky or cumbersome.

The screen on the Lumia 2520 is excellent, comparable to other high-end tablets with 1080p HD (1920Г—1080). I got a Verizon version of the Lumia 2520 and it connects as fast as any smartphone. Unlike its big sister the Surface 2, the Lumia 2520 has LTE cellular connectivity with a broad range of carrier support. It has a 6.7-megapixel back camera with Carl Zeiss optics and a 2-megapixel front camera, which are both very good for full-sized tablets The innards consist of a 2.2 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 2GB of RAM 32GB of internal storage with MicroSD support for up to another 32GB. It employs a 8000 mAh battery that Nokia claims can get an 80% charge in one hour. The hardware in the Lumia 2520 is nothing to sneeze at either. See also: Microsoft Surface 2: A Tablet With A Serious Identity Problem The Lumia 2520 is a perhaps the epitome of Nokia design since it adopted the Windows operating system several years ago. With a few notable exceptions, Nokia makes really attractive and ergonomically-inclined hardware. I got a glossy red one and-like many Nokia products-itвЂ™s a joy to hold. It has a 10.1-inch screen and itвЂ™s incredibly thin, light and comes in one of four colors (glossy red or white and black or cyan matte). Nokia can finally lay claim to a tablet worthy of its brand name.
