Nokia launches tablet and phablets

Finnish mobile firm Nokia has unveiled its first tablet and two larger smartphones, or ”phablets”, at its swansong Nokia World event in Abu Dhabi. They will be the company’s final products before its mobile phone division is sold to Microsoft.

The tablet runs Windows software, and will be marketed as the Lumia 2520. It will have 4G LTE and WLAN connections and a 6.7 megapixel camera featuring Carl Zeiss technology. The 2520 will also come with Nokia’s new Storyteller app, which is designed to help tell richer stories using images and video.

Nokia claims that theirs will be the only tablet that offers reliable map services, even when offline. It is expected to retail at 499 US dollars before taxes and is scheduled for release in the final quarter of this year in Finland, the US and the UK.
