Nokia N1 Tablet Arriving in Other Countries

Nokia N1

The N1, Nokia's first Android tablet, may soon be released in other countries following its debut in Taiwan.

It is considered as the first device launched by the Finnish tech firm after it was acquired by Microsoft last year.

The N1 was first released on January 7 of this year exclusively in China. Then, just recently, the tablet debuted in Taiwan and is being sold for around TWD 8,190 or roughly $268. This suggests that Nokia may be slowly unveiling the tablet in other countries.

However, there are no confirmations yet if the device will be made available in Europe or North America. As pointed out by Christian Today, Nokia will probably first analyze how the tablet is received in Asian countries before unveiling it in other regions.

As for its specs, the Nokia N1 sports a 7.9-inch display covered by the Corning Gorilla Glass 3. Its screen has a resolution of 1536x2048 pixels and has multi-touch features.

The tablet is equipped with the 2.3GHz quad-core Intel Atom Z3580 processor and the PowerVR G6430 video card. It has 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. The device does not have a slot for a microSD card which means its built-in memory cannot be expanded.

It has an 8-megapixel main camera with autofocus features and a 5-megapixel secondary camera. Out of the box, the Nokia N1 runs on the Android 5.0 Lollipop.

The device's connectivity options are supported by Bluetooth 4.0, Wi-Fi 802.11 and microUSB 2.0 with Type-C reversible connector, Ecumenical News reported.

The N1 tablet was released by Nokia after it was purchased by Microsoft in April of 2014. As part of the deal, Nokia has been temporarily prohibited from releasing smartphones with its brand name.

To get around the restrictions of the acquisition, Nokia partnered with Foxconn for its manufacturing procedure and licensed the product to another company.
