Nokia N1 Android Tablet Gets Official

Nokia has announced its first Android tablet, dubbed as Nokia N1, the 7.9-inch screen aluminum-framed tablet is powered by 64-bit 2.3 GHz quad-core Intel Z3580 CPU with 2GB of RAM.

The tablet sports a 32GB internal memory, 8 MP rear camera and 5 MP front camera, and a 5,300 mAh battery whose design resembles the iPad Mini.

Out of the box, the Nokia N1 runs Android 5.0 Lollipop with its own homebrew Z Launcher. The Z launcher allows users to draw letters on the tablet’s screen with one of their fingers to search for related content and changes the apps presented on the machine’s home screen according to the time of day and the device’s location.

The device features the reversible micro-USB 2.0 Type C connector.

Nokia is partnering with Foxconn to build the N1, licensing the industrial design, Nokia brand, and Z Launcher software to the device maker.

The company is now planning to launch the Nokia N1 in China for $249 around the time of Chinese New Year (February 19th), and it will roll out to Russia and select European countries after the Chinese release.
