Nokia has taken the plunge into the tablet world with a 10-inch tablet.
The mobile phone company unveiled its plans to launch a tablet in a series of new announcements as part of a global launch in the UAE.
Called the Lumia 2520, it will cost $499 before taxes in the US and will be available in the UAE next year.
It will come in four colours Black, White, Cyan and Red. The keyboard will cost an additional $149.
Nokia has invested in creating a custom display and in terms of brightness it can be viewed in bright sunlight and is glare free.
Made from ‘gorilla glass’, Nokia says the Flipboard app will be on Windows tablet for the first time.
Lumia 2530 comes with a Zeiss Optics with 6.7 megapixel back camera and 2 MP front camera.
Nokia Music and Maps come pre-installed as does Microsoft Office and Outlook.
A Nokia power keyboard comes wrapped around the tablet. It can be unwrapped to create a fully-functional keyboard and has a battery backup capable of running the tablet to 15 hours.
Fifty per cent of the battery can be charged in 40 minutes.
