Nokia releases N1 a 7.9" Android tablet

[Fanaticalism]

Definitely not enough to replace an iPad - but depending on the bulk of the Nokia skin, I could be interested in picking one up just for the heck of it.

One of the nicest looking Android tablets out there IMO (makes sense since I'm an Apple hardware fan).

Can anyone provide any insight into what the Nokia skin is like?

Looks like it isn't compatible with the Nexus 5. I'll have to check it out later. Thanks.

Works on Lollipop - you still on KK?

It looks nice.

NO ..... or to extend that answer

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

With an atom processor, smaller screen and a third party manufacturer responsible for it's OS updates - No it's not a Nexus 9 competitor.


That being said - as a device with it's own merits - it looks nice indeed, and if priced right would certainly give other 7 - 8" devices from third parties a run for their money. I'd rather this than a tab S for example.

How is Atom bad? The GPU, for example, it's only slightly behind the Adreno 330. I don't know a lot about the CPU, but that had always been their strong point.

It's not bad bad, it's just not as good as the very latest including either the Nvidia K1 or the Snapdragon 805/810

At its best it's snapdragon 800 comparatively, but the opening question asked if this was a challenger to the Nexus 9 with more powerful specs and support direct from Google.

That would be the issue then - I've been putting on flashing the update myself, but have yet to receive L OTA.

I'll probably flash it during lunch today or when I get home from work. I want to get in on all this Lollipop goodness!

Don't like it! Looks like far too much of an iPad Mini copy, and I don't like the screen ratio. Interesting internals though with that Intel chip.
