Nokia's N1 tablet, announced this week at the Mobile World Congress, is already being called an “iPad with Android” due to its striking resemblance to the widely-loved device. Another factor worth getting out of the way is that the N1 is actually manufactured by Foxconn, designed by Nokia. Nokia has licensed its brand to the Taiwan-based Foxconn because of it's (Foxconn's) hopes to maintain a presence in China (Engadget). For the record, Foxconn also produces Apple hardware, and many other big brand name devices. This also means the N1 is only available in China, which, after learning the specs and sleek hardware of the device, may make us American tablet-lovers jealous. Who wouldn't want an “iPad Mini” for less than 300 bux?

We first heard about the N1 back in November, but not everything was set in stone yet. Now we know, this isn't just another Android tablet. The 7.9-inch device weighs just 11.22 ounces, measures 7.9 x 5.46 x .27 inches, and is made of a sleek anodized aluminum chassis that comes in either Lava Grey or Natural Aluminum. It has a 2,048 x 1,536 resolution using laminated zero air-gap display (promising more detail and sharpness). For the $249 price, I'd be happy to have something so lovely.

It runs an Intel Atom Z3580 processor, which, according to Trusted Reviews, still shows some signs of lag. It has 32GB of storage, 2GB of RAM, an 8MP camera, and runs Android 5.0 (PC Mag). It also has a Type-C reversible micro USB connector for offering high power output. Yay for not having to try three times to plug something in!

Tech Crunch reports that it remains to be seen whether Nokia will continue as a China-only experiment. European markets might even get a grab before we do, but there's hope the company is considering bring the N1 to America, someday. Nokia is currently “refocusing its business” after taking a big leap and selling its devices and services division to Microsoft in 2014, so busting out an impressive tablet was necessary. Currently up against the iPad Mini and the Nexus 9, the N1 might just be a perfect option for the mid-to-low-range tablet options. It's hard to even call it that, did you read the specs list?
