Nokia Lumia 2520 is the first tablet from Nokia that runs Windows RT 8.1. We all know that Windows RT is not very much welcomed among people like other operating systems out there. Microsoft introduced Windows RT with the introduction of the Microsoft Surface RT tablet, which was merely a failure due to the high price as well as the lack of apps and games in the Windows Store. But still, Microsoft didn’t give up on Windows RT. Last month, Microsoft announced a new Surface RT in the name of “Surface 2” .Now again, Microsoft used Nokia’s hardware coupled with Microsoft Windows RT and released a Nokia Lumia 2520 with a beautiful glossy polycarbonate unibody design.
