Nokia N1
The display of the Nokia N1 is 7.9in, just like the iPad mini, and has a resolution of 2048x1536, which equates to 326ppi, identical to Apple’s Retina display on the iPad mini 2 and 3. It’s made with Gorilla Glass 3, and uses zero air-gap tech to reduce refl ectiveness and increase contrast. Nokia has equipped the N1 with an Intel 64-bit Atom processor clocked at 2.3GHz which should prove to be speedy, though possibly not as fast as the iPad mini 3’s A7 processor but we’ll have to wait and see. It’s paired with 2GB of RAM and has PowerVR G6430 graphics. We’re looking forward to putting the processor and graphics chip through their paces in our benchmark tests when we get the N1 back to our labs in the UK. There’s 32GB of built-in storage but no microSD card slot for adding additional space.

Connectivity includes 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0. There’s no 4G LTE version yet. The battery is an impressive 5300mAh, and the charging/syncing cable uses the new reversible USB Type-C connector which makes things less fi ddly. The camera on the rear of the Nokia N1 is 8Mp and features autofocus, while the 5Mp front-facing camera has fi xed focus but should be good for selfi es if using a tablet for photography is your kind of thing. It’s also capable of capturing 1080p video.  The Nokia N1 tablet runs Android 5.0 Lollipop and comes with the Nokia Z Launcher, which seems to be an acquired taste that’s dividing opinions. Personally, I really like seeing a list of the most commonly used apps on the home page, and being able to search for apps or search the web by drawing letters on the screen – it worked brilliantly during our testing. We’ll need to spend some more time with this latest iteration to determine how well the prediction system works, though.
Nokia N1

It’s designed to learn which apps you use and when and then present the apps it thinks you want to launch on the home screen. If you’re not keen on the Launcher then thankfully it’s optional, so you can always return to stock Android if you prefer. If you’re curious about the Nokia Z Launcher it’s actually available in beta from the Play Store to try out on your Android device.  Unfortunately, right now, the Nokia N1 is only available in China. Nokia has said that it will launch elsewhere in the future, though, and when it does we expect it to be quite a popular choice of tablet. It could be priced at under £200, so we expect it’ll be signifi cantly cheaper than the iPad mini 3’s £319 starting price.
