Nokia N1 tablet: 1st Android tablet launched by finish telecom giant

Nokia N1 tablet is the 1st Android tablet launched by finish telecom giant after a deal was stuck with Microsoft for its handset based business.

the tablet (which is being built by Foxconn licensing the Nokia name) comes with a 7.9-inch screen and 64-bit quad-core Intel CPU. Also included is Nokia's Z Launcher atop Android 5.0 Lollipop. The Nokia N1 will be priced at an aggressive $249.

Specs include a 2048 x 1536 resolution, 2 GB RAM, 32 GB internal memory, 8 MP camera at the back and 5 MP shooter at the front. The Nokia N1 is constructed out of aluminium and has a thickness of only 6.9mm. The device is the first to come with the Micro-USB 2.0 Type C connector.

Nokia stated during the announcement that it is licensing its name to Foxconn, who will be handling the engineering, marketing and sales of the Nokia N1. Nokia’s N1 is almost identical to the rear of the iPad mini thanks to careful placement of the camera, buttons, and headphone jack. Even the bottom of the device has the same speaker grills and what looks like a Lightning port, but is actually one of the first implementations of the reversible type-C USB connector. The USB is actually where things start to get interesting. While the Nokia N1 looks like an iPad mini with Android, the company has actually gone a few steps further in improving Apple’s popular tablet. Nokia’s N1 display is fully-laminated, unlike the iPad mini 3, and the N1 is just 6.9mm thick and 318 grams in weight, both thinner and lighter than Apple’s offering. Nokia is particularly proud of design details like its camera placement matching the curvature of the camera lens and the tablet's corner.
