First look at Nokia's Lumia 1520 and the Lumia 2520

The future of Windows Phone rests in Nokia's Lumia line. As Finland's finest continues to refine its Windows Phone hardware and features, more models have been making waves in the market. All this, while other Windows Phone hardware partners have fallen from the wayside.

The dozen or so OEMs that graced the Microsoft stage when Windows Phone debuted, have left the party, with HTC and Samsung as the last two OEMs to release notable handsets, but that was in 2012. 

While not yet available in Canada, the Lumia 1520 and the Lumia 2520 round out Nokia's pre-acquisition family of devices and here are my impressions after having had a chance to try both devices out.

Lumia 2520 Windows tablet imminent as per recent leaks

Nokia World is taking place in Abu Dhabi on November 22nd and looks like we're slated to see a Windows 8 tablet among other things. Serial Twitter  tipster @evleaks has revealed a render of the purported Lumia 2520, which is the first Windows powered tablet from Espoo, Finland and something the company had likely been working on before Microsoft acquired Nokia's mobile business.

Nokia already makes the best Windows Phone smartphones in the market so its entry into the tablet space is interesting specially since Microsoft recently launched the Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2 devices. Where will the Lumia 2520 (pictured above in Cyan but also leaked elsewhere in Red) fit in terms of specs and pricing? All will be revealed soon enough.
