Months following the sales of its mobile devices division to Microsoft, Nokia launched an Android-based N1 tablet on Tuesday at the Slush conference in Helsinki, reports PCWorld.

Nokia's tablet comes a week after Microsoft launched the first Lumia smartphone without the Nokia logo. The corporation finished its acquisition of Nokia's device business in April.

Nokia differentiates the N1 tablet with its own Z Launcher user interface -- known as a skin -- on top of Android 5.0 Lollipop. The launcher enables users to find apps faster by writing on the screen. The Z launcher is also available for Android-based smartphones.

The N1 tablet was developed in partnership with the Taiwanese electronics manufacturing company Foxconn, who also manufactures it. Nokia licensed its brand, software and design to Foxconn.

"We have consistently said we are no longer in the business of manufacturing and selling these kinds of devices," Sebastian Nyström, head of products at Nokia, told PCWorld.

Nokia N1 Tablet Features

The N1 tablet comes equipped with the following features:

  • 7.9-inch screen with high resolution (2048 by 1536 pixels)
  • A 5-megapixel front camera
  • The Wi-Fi tablet is powered by a 64-bit Intel Atom Z3580 processor
  • 32GB of integrated storage
  • 2GB of RAM
  • It weighs 318 grams and is 6.9 millimeters thick -- it is thinner and lighter than the iPad mini 3
  • The one-piece aluminum body is available in two colors: bare aluminum or deep gray

The N1 tablet software allows users to draw letters on the tablet's screen with one finger in order to search for content. The software also changes the apps shown on the tablet's home screen according to the device's location and the time of day.

The N1 tablet will have a retail price of $249 plus tax. The tablet will start selling in China early 2015, later becoming available in other countries.
