DHAKA: Nokia, whose handset division is to be acquired by Microsoft, launched its first-ever tablet computer in Abu Dhabi on Tuesday.

The Windows 10-inch screen tablet, Lumia 2520, was one of six devices unveiled, including two so-called ‘phablets’, large screen smartphones.

The Nokia Lumia 2520, available in red and white in a glossy finish as well as cyan and black in a matte finish, is to go on sale in the United States at an estimated price of US$499 by the end of the year.

‘Initial roll out is to begin broadly in the US as well as the UK and Finland, with additional countries to follow shortly after,’ the company said in a statement, reports The Straits Times.
