The Nokia N1 is the first tablet from the Finnish manufacturer since selling its Mobile and Devices division to Microsoft Earlier this year. It has been described by Ian Fogg, director of the mobile analysis at IHS Technology, as an "audacious move" that follows on from a history of bold strategic moves by Nokia. talking premium design, cutting edge internals, and Android 5.0! Come on, you did not think Nokia would Resurrect Symbian on a tablet that has to battle the Nexus 9 and iPad Mini 3, did you? Now, let's see how the Nokia N1 is about to begin the next chapter in Nokia's history.
At the same size as the iPad Mini 3, the Nokia N1 will cost an impressive $ 150 less than Apple's miniature tablet when it launches next year.
Design and body
- The Nokia N1 is not just-similar in size to the iPad mini, with its identical 7.9in screen size, it would actually be hard to tell the two apart when looking at them from behind if it was not for the different logos.
- The headphone jack, volume controls, camera, and even bottom-facing speakers panels are all placed in almost identical positions on both devices.
- Even the USB port looks like Apple's Lightning port, though this is in fact the new reversible USB Type-C connector.
- The Nokia N1 is thinner and lighter than the similarly sized mini iPad 3 (IBTimes UK).
- This is a tablet that measures a compact 7.90 x 5:46 x 0:27 inches (200.7 x 138.6 x 6.9 mm) at a weight of 11:22 oz (318 g).
- A "unibody" aluminum design Gives the tablet a premium feel, far above what you might expect.
Screen and battery
The N1's 2048 x 1536 resolution Gives a crisp and clear display that exactly matches the resolution specs of its Apple rival. One thing it lacks is an anti-glare coating, the which makes using it under bright lights quite tricky.
A 5300mAh battery apparently offers 9 hours worth of battery use under heavy use, According to Nokia, however Reviews such claims will not be verifiable until a full test can be given.
Camera and performance
- The camera on the rear of the Nokia N1 is a camera with 8 megapixels (MP), a full 3MP more than the mini iPad 3.
- Even more impressive is the 5MP front-facing camera - arguably the most important camera for tablet devices due to Reviews their usefulness for making video calls.
- The N1 features a 2.4GHz quad-core Intel Atom Z3580 processor (the which is a 64-bit processor-similar to the A8X chip powering the current iPads)
- 2GB of RAM, and 32GB of storage.
- One slight downside is the lack of memory card slot.
Processor and memory
The Nokia N1 is a generously spec'd device. It is powered by an Intel Atom Z3580 a (Moorefield) 2.3GHz quad-core 64-bit processor. This is a top of the line processor with performance-similar solutions to the current flagship Snapdragon Reviews such as the K1 805 and NVIDIA Tegra processors. It is paired with the PowerVR G6430 GPU. This graphics unit was announced back in September 2013, and it went right inside the iPhone 5S and iPad Mini 3. In other words, you are getting a unit that is outperformed by the NVIDIA Tegra chip inside the Nexus K1 9, but is exactly the same as in the Nokia N1's direct competitors. While PowerVR's latest silicon, roomates Water went inside the iPad 2, is roughly two times more powerful, this chip will be-able to keep up with the best of them a year or two from now on. The RAM memory is 2GB, and the storage space is 32GB (less in reality, due to how the file systems address memory). This powerhouse is ran by a 5300mAh battery. Given Intel's energy-efficient processors, the battery life should not disappoint. The lack of GPS and cellular connectivity is a tad disappointing, though.
Z Launcher interface
The fact that Nokia's first tablet in a long while is powered by Android 5.0 is impossible to miss. What's even more interesting is the custom code that runs on top. Meet Z Launcher, quite possibly the simplest, most streamlined Android interface to come from a major brand. It offers a very different user paradigm Compared to the typical desktop-like experience. Nokia touts Z Launcher as "the fastest way to access everything on your phone." Expect to see your homescreen dynamically change throughout the day, showing a choice of up to six apps, contacts and websites based on how and when you use your phone. The other interesting nugget is the gesture control that lets you "scribble" a sign or letter with your fingers to activate a feature on certain.
Expectations
Priced at an aggressive $ 250 before taxes, we expect the Nokia N1 will sell like hotcakes to the tablet enthusiasts, assuming the company markets it properly. The Nokia N1 is the fiercest competition to the Google Android Nexus 9 right now, with-similar horsepower, but better design and much comfier pricing. However, the question when Nokia will launch this bombshell still looms over our expectations. Only a tentative release timeframe is provided - early 2015. The first country to get the tab will be China, possibly due to Foxconn acting as Nokia's manufacturing partner. If you have a million of Reviews These little wonders sitting in a warehouse in China, you Might as well go about selling them.
The Nokia N1 runs Android 5.0 (Lollipop), much like the recently Launched HTC Nexus 9 tablets. The one things that actually makes it stands apart from other Android tablets will be Z Launcher, the which I was of toll would be exclusive to the N1 tablet.
Z Launcher is in beta mode and available freely from the Google Play store. You can download it and test it yourself right this second, if your Deems Google Play compatible devices.
