connectivity, a 6.7MP camera, and for the first time ever on a tablet, ZEISS
optics, letting people take beautiful pictures - even in low light. The Lumia

experience, and also features multiple color choices and fast-charging
capability - providing up to an 80% charge in one hour.

smartphones. With integrated HERE Maps, the Lumia 2520 is the only tablet with
true offline maps for a fast and reliable maps experience. The tablet also
includes an exclusive version of Nokia Music with Mix Radio preinstalled.

the go is easier than ever.
