After briefly promoted on Twitter and Facebook, the Finnish vendor, through Sebastian Nystrom (Head of Products Nokia Technologies) officially announced its first tablet Lollipop premium Android, Nokia N1, in the event the Slush conference in 2014 in Helsinki, Finland (18/11 / 2014).
Nokia's first Android tablet that looks similar to the Apple iPad mini tablet is expected to be sold in the market for US $ 249 in the first quarter of 2015 as a reference design for OEM partners (Original Equipment Manufacturer) Nokia. The OEM will also be able to use their own brand to pay royalties to Nokia.
Keep in mind earlier, Nokia has sold handset division / her smartphone to Microsoft. As one of the consequences of the division's sales, Nokia was not allowed to use the brand of Nokia's smartphone products until 2016. However, the release of the Nokia N1 indicates that the "ban" is not applicable for tablet products.
Actually, this is not the first time that Nokia released a tablet. Exactly a year ago, Nokia also has released a 10.1-inch tablet running Windows RT, the Lumia 2520. Unfortunately, just like other Windows RT tablets, call the Microsoft Surface 2, the fate of the Lumia 2520 is not much different because only the rest of the corn and almost forgotten consumers.
In addition to the Apple iPad mini similar design with an aluminum body, the screen size of 7.9 inches N1 also with QXGA resolution (2048x1536p, IPS, LED backlight). The screen has a fully-laminated zero-gap water is also relatively strong because it has Gorilla Glass display technology 3.
One thing that is interesting, unlike the Android tablets using ARM chips generally, Nokia N1 reinforced by SoC quad-core 64-bit Intel Atom Z3580 2.3GHz (Bay Trail / Moorefield) with GPU PowerVR G6430. GPU PowerVR G6430 has been known to be used by Apple's iPad tablet Water, Mini 2, and Mini 3, as well as the iPhone 5 on its 64-bit SoC (A7).
As with other premium Android tablet, the N1 has a capacity of 2 GB of RAM with 32 GB of internal storage and a microSD card slot for external. Special interface (interface), Nokia chose to replace the default interface (stock) Android 5.0 Lollipop and "menyepuhnya" with Nokia Z Launcher.
For grade tablet, Nokia N1 fairly decent camera for having brought the 8 MP sensor for the rear camera (rear camera) and a 5 MP camera for the front (selfie camera). Function of its own video recording supports 1080p (Full-HD).
In addition to supporting the latest wireless connection (Wi-Fi 802.11ac and Bluetooth 4.0), Nokia N1 also has adopted the Micro USB port is a new type of anti-reverse. Reversible connector port for Micro-USB 2.0 Type-C aims to further facilitate penggunana when plug in to the tablet (for charging and syncing).
N1 battery capacity is fairly standard (5300mAh) slightly raises the question, whether this tablet can last all day given the reputation of the Intel SoC which is still less efficient than ARM SoC. How big is the effect of the semiconductor process technology 22 nm FinFET to make the Intel Atom Z3580 becomes more efficient (compared to previous generation Atom) still needs to be studied further.
The audio quality is also not spared from the premium touch-style Nokia. According to their claims, the N1 has advanced capabilities include audio with stereo-quality speakers that ditandem with High Quality Discrete Audio Codec, WM8958E Wolfson chip. Some other premium smartphones and tablets in the market have used the audio chip.
If N1 want to be compared with the iPad Mini 3, Nokia tablet is fairly still slightly lighter (318 g vs 331 g) and thinner (6.9 mm vs. 7.7 mm). This difference would be more so if N1 compared with Google's Nexus tablet recent 9 is sailing larger (8.9 inches) with a weight of over 400 grams (depending on model) and 7.9 mm thick.
Tablet Nokia N1 will be available in two color choices (natural aluminum and gray lava) will be marketed for the first time in China in early 2015. The next country whose turn it is still uncertain. N1 tablet pricing is fairly attractive and aggressive by Nokia raises its own assumptions, there is strong support for Intel which has been known to apply the contra-revenue strategy so that its chips "sold" on the tablet. In other words, success is not a hope N1 tablet Nokia alone, but also obsession Intel for this to actually be present in the world of mobile devices.
