Nokia N1 Android tablet: All you need to know
Nokia made a comeback of sorts yesterday with the announcement of a brand new tablet which runs on Android Lollipop. Here are some interesting details about the N1.
Just when we thought that Nokia was done as an independent manufacturer, the Finnish brand surprised us by announcing a new tablet which runs on Android 5.0 Lollipop. The N1 Tablet looks like a decent comeback for Nokia and the device itself looks elegant with a similar design to the iPad mini.
According to sources, the tablet is design by Foxconn (the same company that makes Apple products), features a 7.9-mm display with a resolution of 2048×1536 pixels, and is powered by a quad-core Intel Atom Z3580 64-bit SoC. It comes with a unibody design and is quite slim at just 6.9 mm. The price for the tablet has been put at $249 (Rs. 15,300 approx.) which sounds impressive. The tablet surprisingly runs on Android 5.0 Lollipop with the Nokia Z Launcher over it. Nokia says that it will brought to the market in Q1 2015 through a brand-licensing agreement with an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) partner responsible for manufacturing, distribution and sales.
