Nokia N1 Android tablet announced!

[anon(8150199)]

Runs Android 5.0 with Nokia Z Launcher, the screen has the same resolution and size as the iPad mini. Even the back looks very similar!
Scratching my head now ...
Nokia N1

Initially available in China for now, and it's pitched as "Entry Level".

I hear you man. How long is Nokia unable to make smartphones by contract with MS? I guess untill then they'll try to live from tablets and then go for Android smartphone. It could be death of WP... Anyway, I am going to buy N1 when it comes to market.

If only because of the size, I might just sell my iPad Air and get it instead. (I can't since it's too small to read comfortably)

Looks very sleek...

 

[Oliver Andrades]

it has a 64 bit intel atom processor, so installing windows should be pretty easy I guess

Umm.. There's a heck of a lot of other Android handsets out there. I really doubt that Nokia creating another line in a couple of years will have any significant impact on WP sales.

Not tablet, but Nokia's Android smartphone, once contract expires.

Yep, spotted my mistake and edited. It's going to be a long while until Nokia is competitive in the Android handset marketplace, I don't think they'll hit the ground running with some kind of world class offering. See how softly they've entered the tablet market - with China first and then Russia.

Nokia has already started that they are NOT getting back into the mobile space at all and will just be licensing their name out to companies hence this tablet.

All aluminum, reversible USB, 64bit Intel CPU, 2GB of ram, thinner than the iPad mini, 8MP rear camera, 5MP front, How exactly is this "entry level"?

I misunderstood a comment on techcrunch that they were aiming the tablet at people who haven't found an tablet they loved. Engadget seems to think that this is priced at $250, so yes it's mid-level I'd say.

Let's See Whether This Devices has good durability.

This Devices not manufactured by Nokia. it's just other manufactured licensed their name. I don't know whether they will offer support like before.

This may have Nokia on it but they has yet to proof they quality.

well I don't expect qualities like Lumia devices yet (not now) but let see how far they go.
anyway good luck with your new product (sticking with Lumia devices which still has NOKIA name on it)

oh yeah Nokia Saying they not going back to smartphone business
and they lisence othe companies to make a tablet
sounds weird ._. anyway goodluck for Nokia

I'm still love looking for windows based tablet though. maybe I'll buy 1 if you make windows based tablet

"64 bit" could be ARMv8 or X64, and I haven't found the specification in detail. Anyway, I hope that tablet is available for Windows

Apple subs out their manufacturing and their quality is top-notch. I don't see why someone else can't manufacture to Nokia's standards.

What Nokia has done is exactly what these Indian OEMs like Micromax, Karbonn, Xolo etc. do. Take a cheap Chinese/Taiwanese product, just install the OS on it with some modifications and a product is created. The hardware was not developed by Nokia as its hardware business has gone to Microsoft, so that N1 tablet for sure will not have the trademark reliability and quality that the old Nokia was known for. Plus, it runs on Android (yuck).

For sure, I will never buy these new Chinese Nokia devices.
