One might argue that Nokia is taking it back on Microsoft with the just-announced premium N1 Android tablet, priced to move at $249. Others could say that, since the company's phone division was bought out, it must grab every chance to remain relevant in the mobile world, and might have had the tablet in the making for a while, too.
Whatever the cause for releasing the excellent Nokia N1 that has been discussed around the boardroom tables, the first Nokia device with Android is a fact, and it might be a dream come true for many fans of the Finnish company. Nokia said it won't be making phones anymore, for obvious reasons, but it never said anything about tablets, and here we are - with arguably the best value-for-money proposition in the universe of small tablets. The N1 is a thin aluminum slate with a zero air-gap 2K display, 64-bit chipset, 32 GB storage, Wolfson sound processor, quality speakers and mics, as well as a brand new Z Launcher software, meant to simplify your Android experience. The cited $249 price tag doesn't hurt the good impressions either.
That is why we want to immediately ask you if you have been dreaming of the moment when Nokia goes Android, and whether the newly-minted tablet meets those expectations. After all, Nokia dubbed it N1, indicating it might intend to start a whole line here, so we better get used to it.

More Info About Nokia N1

Nokia N1 tablet – a compact, stylish, and inexpensive tablet running Google's Android operating system.
Yes, folks, we're dealing with an Android slate here, but before we get to the software part of the deal, here's what you need to know about the tablet's design. The Nokia N1 is a sleek, aluminum-made device with a thickness of just 6.9 millimeters. And at 318 grams, the device is both slimmer and lighter than the leader in the segment, namely the iPad mini 3. During the announcement, Nokia pointed out that the lack of sharp corners make the device comfortable to hold even for prolonged periods of time. On the tablet's bottom you'll find a reversible USB 2.0 connector (type C). Sweet! The anodized, one-piece aluminum body of the N1 is treated to a Natural Aluminum or Lava Gray finish.
On the front of the Nokia N1 resides a 7.9-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 2048 by 1536 pixels and an aspect ratio of 4:3. We must absolutely mention Apple's iPad mini 3 again as it is matched by the N1, at least specs-wise. The fully laminated, zero air-gap screen is protected by a layer of Gorilla Glass 3.
Under the hood of the Nokia N1 is tucked some pretty potent silicon, including a 64-bit Intel Atom Z3580 processor with a 2.3GHz maximum clock speed alongside a 533MHz PowerVR G6430 GPU, 2GB of RAM, and 32GB of storage. This hardware combo is nothing to frown at as it is about as capable as a high-end Snapdragon SoC, according to benchmarks. As far as connectivity goes, you get Bluetooth 4.0 and Wi-Fi 802.11a/b/g/n/ac at 2.4 and 5GHz and MIMO antennas for better reception. Alas, there's no GPS or cellular connectivity on board.
Turn the slate around and you'll find an 8-megapixel auto-focus camera with 1080 video recording capabilities, which is pretty good for a tablet of this category. Video chats are made possible by a 5-megapixel front-facing cam. Audio is reproduced by a pair of 0.5W stereo speakers paired by a Wolfson WM8958E codec. Battery life details aren't being mentioned, but we're pretty sure that the N1's 18.5 Wh (5300 mAh) rechargeable lithium polymer battery won't disappoint.
As for the software running on the Nokia N1, the tablet will ship with Android 5.0 Lollipop, but in a heavily modified form. On top of the platform will be layered Nokia's own Z launcher, which is built on the principles of simplicity and ease of use. The software simplifies the process of finding your apps by letting you scribble its name onto the screen. On top of that, the Nokia Z launcher takes the time of the day and the user's location into account to bring relevant applications at the user's fingertips. For example, entertainment apps are suggested in the evening, when the user is at home, while productivity apps are prioritized at the office. You can give Nokia Z launcher a tryon your Android device, in case you're interested. Its on play store!
So, how do you get one of these sweet Nokia N1 tablets? Well, you can't, at least not yet. The Nokia N1 will be released in early 2015, just in time for the Chinese new year. Nokia is planning on launching the slate in China for a price around $249 before taxes, with "anticipation of expanding sales" to other parts of the world. Further availability details remain unclear for now.
The Nokia N1 tablet will be manufactured by Foxconn – the OEM that builds a huge fraction of the electronics on the market, including Apple's iPhone and iPad. The actual design of the product, however, is Nokia's work, and Nokia will be receiving licensing fees for the use of its brand name. With the N1, Nokia is aiming to deliver a tablet as good as the iPad mini, but at a lower price point, clarified Nokia's technology chief Ramzi Haidamus.

Seems the lion have wake from his sleep...
Time to take over the jungle!!!
NOKIA. Hmnn...I rest my case

What i personally think Well. Everything above were from diffrent sources and diffrent athours but what i personally think is, first nokia made devices by them self b4 selling the division to microsoft, so what they mean by they wont make phones anylonger is, they wont make it by them self but instead contract it out to orther OEMs. Unless im misunderstanding the whole issue myself.
And i wont paticullarly say my dream had come true cos i was never against lumia or wp, i just did nt like the fact that microsoft put them self b4 the customers so wp is more like a personal os. Its what they want they put, nt what the customers want. But im exited about this tablet anyway. I could get one.

let me start saving ohh. Having a Nokia tab is reps on its own. Sam and Apple can eat a dick

Just curious, What happened to their X series?

They just decided to stop producing Android fones in favor of the Lumia Series which runs on Windows. They promised supporting the X Series till 2015 or so and thereafter all owners would be on their own. Same might end up with these tablets too

You got it mixed up. Nokia has sold their mobile phone division to Microsoft so the Lumia brand now belongs to MS. These tablets are not mobile phones so Nokia is free to keep developing and deploying such devices.

Foxconn actually owns the tablet. They are just leasing the Nokia brand name. But they have Nokia employees to ensure Nokia standards.
