The Nokia Lumia 2520 runs on Windows RT 8.1 which is a relatively new operating system and it is different from both the regular Windows and the Windows Phone OS. Though, this latest version of the ARM based OS is not a major update yet it brings some good changes to the table.
For apps, the Windows RT relies on the Windows Store which means that users cannot install any legacy software. Furthermore, the platform boasts the entire Microsoft Office 2013 package that adds productivity element to the Lumia 2520. It is most useful for the business professionals who constantly need to use the Microsoft Office package for their business needs.
Here are some notable Nokia branded apps that deepen the experience in a meaningful way. We have summarized them below.
Nokia Here Maps: This app is an alternative to Bing Maps and it is quite comforting to see because Bing Maps is not necessarily the most comprehensive maps experience. Nokia Here Maps offers neat 'Collections' features to let you mark your memories on where you have been.
Nokia Storyteller: Now, you can create your own story with the photos and videos recorded with the Nokia Lumia 2520. The app arranges your photos and videos into different stories that give a richer viewing experience.
Nokia Video Director: This app is all about on the go video editing and a fun way to create a polished video on the go.
My Nokia: For all intents and purposes, it’s a hub that offers handy information related to the tablet’s operation.
Nokia Music: This app is for music lovers. It offers the same features as that in its Windows Phone counterpart. It is an alternative music player option with a streaming function just like Pandora.
Nokia Camera: This is not Pro Cam app found in Lumia phones, rather it is a simple camera app with the basic features as the standard Windows RT 8.1 camera app with the exception of touch focus ability.
It is noteworthy to say that the addition of all these Nokia branded apps along with its preloaded Microsoft Office package significantly diversifies its arsenal of software right from the start.
