Nokia not officially releasing the Lumia 2520 tablet to the Philippines
The Lumia 2520 is Nokia's first Windows 8 tablet, powering Microsoft's RT operating system. The product itself was unveiled back at Nokia World last year in Abu Dhabi, and while it has already launched in multiple markets, we've got some bad news for those who reside in the Philippines. According to NokiaRevolution, the company will not be releasing the Lumia 2520 in the region.
The website confirmed this fact with Nokia's General Manager (PAN Asia), Karel Holub during a meeting last week. The reason for this move is down to the growing number of Windows 8 tablets and competitive pricing of said hardware. As well as competition within the Windows ecosystem Nokia would also be contending against the array of cheaper Android tablets available.
If you're still wanting the Lumia 2520, you'll have to check out online retailers or other sources to order one.
