Nokia Lumia 2520 review

Attractive Lumia hardware is hobbled by lacklustre software

Attractive design ; Bright display ; Great battery life ; Fast charging ; Speedy performance ; Built-in LTE

Windows RT underpowered ; No Kickstand ; No full-sized USB port

Windows RT means the Lumia 2520 can't take Windows tablets to the next level.

Nokia Lumia 2520 review

Let's get something out of the way before you get too deep into this review: the Nokia Lumia 2520 is Nokia's first Windows RT 8.1 tablet. While that's all fine and dandy, you must realise it competes directly with the Surface 2, the tablet-laptop combo...

Built-in LTE, snappy performance, bright display with great viewing angles, excellent battery life, charges fast

Not ideal for reading in portrait, no built-in kickstand, needs a keyboard for laptop experience, lacks app ecosystem of rivals

We like the Nokia Lumia 2520. Its colourful looks are great and it performs well: there's that really bright screen, built-in LTE for on-the-go connectivity and an affordable price tag out in the States. How that will translate into UK pricing we're...

Lumia 2520 video review: powerful Windows tablet an exciting alternative to iPad or Android

The Lumia 2520 has a powerful spec for a Windows RT tablet - and it shows. The Lumia is a responsive and rapid revice, even when you have it undertaking multiple tasks. Here's our Lumia 2520 video review.

Nokia Lumia 2520 review

Nokia's first ever tablet is a polycarbonate slice of tech history – but is it good enough to compete with the iPads and Androids when it's hobbled with Windows RT?

This tablet screen means business ; 4G - you won't find that on the Surface 2 ; Expandable storage is handy for media fiends ; Nice Nokia apps are a bonus

Windows RT can't be recommended without an app explosion ; A bit heavy and uncomfortable on the go ; Expensive, Power Keyboard is an extra £150

Brilliant battery life, mouth-watering screen and an eye-catching design, the 2520 is the best Windows RT tablet we've seen. But this Nokia's not without its flaws.

Nokia Lumia 2520 review

The Lumia 2520 has a pretty powerful spec for a Windows RT device - and it shows. A quad-core Qualcome Snapdragon 800 chip is partnered with 2GB RAM. We've never come across a really slow RT device although the original Surface could be a little...

Some caveats still apply to Windows RT devices, but if you want an alternative to iPad and Android for a consumption device, the Lumia 2520 is that. It's well built, a great performer and - in red at least - it offers a stylish difference to the usual...
