Nokia's canceled Lumia 2020 was a compact Windows RT tablet after my heart

Three years later, we finally get the chance to review another one of Nokia's canceled relics. This is the Nokia Lumia 2020 mini tablet with Windows RT.

Here at Windows Central, we love looking into the history books at Windows devices that never came to be. Some of our favorites have included the canceled Nokia Lumia McLaren with 3D Touch and the first images of Microsoft Surface Mini. While the Surface Mini might have been the darling of the rumor mill, Nokia too was working on a compact Windows RT tablet — the Nokia Lumia 2020.

Codenamed "Illusionist", the Lumia 2020 was going to be Nokia's second Windows RT tablet. However, following the launch of the Lumia 2520, Nokia ended development on the smaller, 8-inch device. While not much is known about why Nokia decided to kill the product, many speculate the decision was influenced heavily by Microsoft, who was also building a similar, arguably better tablet with pen support; something the Lumia 2020 didn't have but the Surface Mini would (had it too not been canceled).
