The 1520 isn't Nokia's only new 6-inch phone -- there's also the 1320, a lower-spec mobile with a dual-core processor and a lower-resolution screen, as well as a less powerful camera. That more modest hardware should keep the price down though.

Nokia says the 2520 boasts a very bright screen, to make it easy to read in the sunlight. It has a unibody design and LTE.

It has a 6.7-megapixel camera on the back, and Nokia seems very proud of this tablet's photo prowess -- but do you really want to be taking pictures with a device this large?

The Lumia 2520 takes admirable photos of boats, apparently. There's a 2-megapixel front-facing camera for video calls, or the occasional selfie.

This is the Nokia power keyboard, which turns the 2520 into a little laptop, and also provides extra battery power.

It's out in the US and UK first, later this year, for just shy of $500. It's powered by Windows RT, though -- so you'll only be able to install software that comes from Microsoft's own app store.
