Android-Powered Nokia N1 Tablet Finally Gets Released

Nokia's very first Android tablet, the Nokia N1, is now finally available
to buy for only $260. However, shipping times may be quite extended
as the first batch of devices sold out within minutes.


NOKIA SURPRISED MANY with the unveiling of the Nokia N1 , an Android 5.0
Lollipop-powered tablet that gives the Nexus 9 and iPad Mini 3 a run for their
money when it comes to specifications.
The Nokia N1 sees the firm fully turning its back on Windows following its split
from Microsoft, and looking finally to make its mark on the tablet market
having equipped the slate with a 64-bit Intel processor, high-resolution display
and a fully-aluminium body.


The Nokia N1 seemingly came out of nowhere, marking itself as the Finnish
firm’s virginal take on tablets, and its first product since the Microsoft
branding split.


The Nokia N1's resemblance to Apple's compact tablet is uncanny - and, to
anyone who recalls Nokia's distinctive design work fondly, perhaps a little
heart-breaking.

The N1 has the same 7.9-inch display size and 4:3 aspect ratio as the iPad
mini 3, and the same 2048 x 1536 resolution. Externally, too, it opts for a
similar aluminium design (though it's thinner at 6.9mm), complete with drilled
speaker holes on the bottom of the tablet.

Even the camera and button placement is eerily familiar here. That's not a
Lightning port in between those speaker grills, though - it's a Type-C USB
port, which is similarly reversible to Apple's custom solution.

Of course, while Apple hung its compact tablet line out to dry this year by
failing to add a fully laminated display (as it did with the iPad Air 2), Nokia
hasn't made the same mistake. There's no air gap between display and glass
here, which should make for a suitably vibrant picture.

Internally, the N1 has a 2.4GHz quad-core Intel Atom Z3580 processor (that's
a 64-bit example) backed by 2GB of RAM, and 32GB of internal storage.

Snapping seems on point with the 8-megapixel camera and around front a 5-megapixel variant, both of which seem to be a step-up from the iPad mini 3.

Its 5,300 mAh battery, meanwhile, will apparently be good for nine hours of life
in between charges.

Nokia has resisted fiddling with the look and feel of Android 5.0 Lollipop too
much - it's near-stock. The one key difference on the software front is the
presence of Nokia's Z Launcher, which provides contextual lists of apps, and
enables you to quickly search for apps and contacts by scrawling letters onto
the screen.

The Nokia N1 will launch in February for $249 (£159), but only in China to
start with. It'll then make its way to Russia and a couple of European markets
over the following months.

The new announced Nokia Tablet N1 will soon be available across africa and
Will be on all the online stores, Jumia and its rival Konga will be pleased to take
the market forward.
