The Lumia 1520 is also packed with a 20MP PureView camera with optical image stabilization (OIS), enabling sharp images even in the dark as well as oversampling and zooming technology similar to the Lumia 1020.
Its body is made of recycled polycarbonate, making the Lumia 1520 an environmental friendly smartphone. The Nokia Lumia 1520 will be available in yellow, white, black and glossy red and is expected to have a price of US$ 479.00. Shipping will start in Q4 2013.

Nokia’s first tablet also uses the Lumia branding and named it the Lumia 2520. Screen size is 10.1-inch HD, built-in LTE connectivity, 6.7 Megapixels with Carl Zeiss optics (a first in a tablet), and Windows 8.1 RT as its choice of operating system. A separate accessory, the Nokia Power Keyboard can be paired with the Lumia 2520 which also doubles as a protective wraparound cover. It’s a fully functional keypad with gesture trackpad that will give the user the same experience as typing on a laptop and can give the Lumia 2520 extra power up to 5 extra hours of battery life.
The Nokia Lumia 2520 will be available in red and white with glossy finish as well as cyan and black with matte finish in the first quarter of 2014, and will have a estimated price tag of US$ 499.00.
Aside from these hardware announcements, the popular messaging app WhatsApp is now included in the new Asha phone models, and Nokia announced that Instagram will finally be released to the Windows Phone platform in the coming weeks.
