Hello, Habr!
Today we are pleased to introduce you to six innovative devices presented by us at a conference in Abu Dhabi, as well as talk about new applications for our devices.
We present you our first tablet - Nokia Lumia 2520, running on Windows 8.1 RT.
“Everything on your PC or laptop is saved and downloaded to your tablet, which weighs just over a pound and has a thickness of only 8.9 mm,” says project manager Paul Bischof. - Most modern devices are used to consume information, rather than to create it. But we believe that there is a demand for the creation of information that we are able to satisfy.
That’s why we created the Lumia 2520, a tablet that people can use all day and for everything they’d like to do. ”
Nokia Lumia 2520 is ideally suited for life on the move, largely due to the large number of features that allow you to keep abreast of everything. A 10.1-inch 1080p high-definition screen made of durable Gorilla Glass 2 gives much less glare and reflection, unlike other tablets; The improved brightness range and wide viewing angle allow you to work under various lighting conditions, and the 4G-LTE modem and Wi-Fi provide a lightning fast Internet connection, regardless of where you are.
All the hardware, including the powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, was chosen for seamless interaction with the touch screen and OS and efficient operation without heating the battery.
The Lumia 2520 tablet easily handles tests such as playing video for ten hours non-stop without recharging. Thanks to the new design of the battery, the charging time has been significantly reduced, for example, the charging process from 0 to 80% takes about an hour.
Along with the Nokia Lumia 2520, we are pleased to introduce the Nokia Power Keyboard, which will be the best companion for your tablet. Each keyboard will be equipped with a touchpad and complemented by a case that provides maximum protection for your tablet. The Nokia Power Keyboard also has a second battery, which increases the use time by five additional hours, and two USB ports for connecting other devices.
On the back of the tablet is a 6.7-megapixel camera with ZEISS optics and an aperture of F1.9, which ensures high quality images and videos even in low light. Two new applications from Nokia - Storyteller and Video Director - will help you process the created content and quickly share it with your friends. On the front panel is a second, 2-megapixel camera designed for video calls.
Windows 8.1 allows you to easily install the full version of Microsoft Outlook, as well as other Microsoft Office programs. In addition, thanks to Nokia, you will be the first to see the new version of the HERE Maps application, with which you can now quickly navigate in any area, even without an Internet connection. In addition, the Nokia Music app, for free listening to music online and offline, has not been left behind and will be available on our tablet.
Nokia Lumia 2520 will be available in four primary colors: red and blue, white and black. The start of sales is planned in several countries at once: the USA, Great Britain, Finland and Russia. The estimated price of a tablet in the world will be about $ 459, prices in Russia will be announced later.
The new Nokia Lumia 1520 and Lumia 1320 smartphones successfully combine the best of Windows Phone and the unique Lumia style with six-inch screens. They are not just bigger - now you can place more live icons on the screen for quick access to information and applications.
The Nokia Lumia 1520 is the owner of a 1080p Full HD display, a 20 megapixel PureView camera with optical image stabilization, advanced sensor technology and zoom - all compatible with the latest version of Nokia Camera. And thanks to the Nokia Storyteller app, you can easily remember the best moments of your life and be able to share them with family and friends.
Nokia Storyteller automatically integrates photos from your phone with geolocation and creates a chronological picture of your travels on a map with the HERE Maps application. Look for interesting places, get contact information and check user reviews directly in Nokia Storyteller. The application automatically plays animated pictures, videos and photos, literally animating them.
But that's not all! We hasten to please you: Twitter Vine and Instagram are now available for Windows Phone 8, create your Vine and photos, edit them and share with friends!
The Nokia Rich Recording application on the Lumia 1520 smartphone records sound from four built-in microphones, providing a stereo effect, high quality and complete absence of interference. Do you want to share with your friends not only a photo or an interesting place found, but a real-time image from your camera, broadcasting it to any compatible screen? Now it's possible with the Nokia Beamer app! Share everything you like with friends, whether they are on the other side of the world or near you.
Lumia 1520 is a real workhorse with built-in Microsoft Office, which will help you work anytime from your smartphone. One of its advantages is its capacious battery with a wireless charger (Qi-compatible). The combination of these qualities means that you can easily do business work or enjoy, for example, watching movies without worrying about charging.
An additional improvement to the screen was the appearance of the third column of live icons, which simplify the work and allow you to quickly find your favorite application. For example, now mail additionally displays a column of news in real time.
Do you make video calls often? With the Lumia 1520 front camera, you can conduct video conferences in Skype with a resolution of HD 720p and a wide viewing angle, while you will always look your best. And the Papyrus application, first released on Windows Phone, will easily allow you to make a handwritten note when there is no paper and pen at hand.
The smartphone will also delight all gamers. With a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, high-quality 1080p HD display and rich Xbox gaming graphics, it will blow your mind. All this is complemented by 2 GB of internal RAM, storage capacity of 32 GB and the possibility of expanding memory using MicroSD-cards up to 64 GB, as well as 7 GB of free cloud storage SkyDrive.
The six-inch Lumia 1520 display combines all the innovative and cutting-edge ideas: with ClearBlack technology, high brightness mode and Apical technology - you will enjoy images and videos on your screen even in the brightest sun, and thanks to the sensitive touch screen, gloves in the winter will cease to be an obstacle .
Lumia 1520's lead designer, Ilkka Husgafvel, said the main goal of creating a new smartphone was to combine simplicity and a large screen, while at the same time, the smartphone turned out to be quite thin - 8.7 mm thick. On the sides of the phone are ceramic buttons and a hidden image, which you will see by looking at it from the front.
The smartphone will be available in four colors: yellow, white, black and glossy red.
Like the Lumia 1520, the Lumia 1320 has a 6-inch display: the device implements a number of solutions specific to the top models of the Lumia line, but at a more affordable price. The newest functionalities for working with images, for example, Nokia Camera and Nokia Storyteller, as well as the most popular Lumia applications - HERE map and geolocation services, Nokia Mix Radio with unlimited streaming music without ads - together create an attractive smartphone for users with large display.
With the latest applications from Nokia and Microsoft that support the LTE connection, you get the most out of the bright screen on the Lumia 1320. Relax and unwind by playing the latest Xbox news, reading the news, or watching movies on the big screen. A considerable amount of information can be saved using free 7 GB in SkyDrive or on a microSD-card with a maximum expansion of up to 64 GB.
The expected start of sales of Nokia Lumia 1520 is scheduled for this quarter in Hong Kong, Singapore, the USA, China and Europe (including Finland, France, Germany and the UK). Tentatively, the price of a smartphone in the world will be about $ 749, prices in Russia will be announced later.
Nokia Lumia 1320 will be available in orange, yellow, black or white. It is planned that the smartphone will go on sale in China and Vietnam in early 2014, and then will appear in other Asian and European markets. The cost of the device in the world is about $ 339.
Many of the new features and innovations in image processing that we introduced in the Nokia Lumia 1520 and Nokia Lumia 1320 will be available in the already released Nokia Lumia running on Windows Phone 8. Updates, including the latest updates to Windows Phone from Microsoft, like Expected to be available in early 2014.
Three new Asha 500, 502, and 503 smartphones will join the next generation of Nokia Asha smartphones.
These great new smartphones are built on the Asha platform of the latest version, which Nokia Asha 501 debuted this year with. They have an updated case design and advanced features in all directions.
The new case design combines two layers of polycarbonate: a bright juicy core surrounded by a powerful layer of transparent plastic. This combination allowed us to create beautiful reflections of color and light without increasing size and weight.
Fastlane Magazine is Key to Asha's New Platform. Swipe record of your past, present and future: quick access to notifications, reminders and everything else that matters to you. Using swipe, from the second start screen you can easily reply to a message, comment on a friend’s photo, or specify the way to the meeting place so as not to be late. Improved visualization will allow faster access to the camera, gallery or the exchange of information on social networks, largely due to the modified and augmented housing design.
Fastlane magazine has become more convenient: control what appears on your screen, follow the news of friends on Facebook and Twitter.
We are pleased to announce that today the WhatsApp application officially appeared for the Asha platform, including Asha 501. And we invite you to evaluate new graphic applications such as Picfeed, Pictag and Photofunia. With a new camera and an improved interface, working with photos will be a pleasure.
Owners of the first Asha platform should not be discouraged: they will also be able to download and install new software. All new Asha 501 devices will be released with new software installed.
While the three new smartphones have the same OS and the same housing, their filling is different from each other according to the model number and price.
What does it look like inside? The Asha 500 has a 2.8-inch screen, a 2 megapixel camera and 2G telephony. The next device in the line - Asha 502 - comes with a 3-inch screen, a 5-megapixel camera with flash and again 2G-telephony. And the flagship of this family of smartphones, Asha 503, the only one in the line is equipped with a 3-inch Gorilla curved glass screen, a 5-megapixel camera with flash and 3.5G-speed data transfer. Asha 500 and 503 are available with one or two SIM cards with easy switching technology between them: you can easily select a SIM card without rebooting the phone.
The new Asha 500, 502 and 503 will be available in the fourth quarter of this year. The start of sales will begin in stores in the Asia-Pacific region, and the estimated price for Nokia Asha 500 is about $ 69, for Asha 502 - $ 89 and for Asha 503 - about $ 99.
