Nokia Tablet N1

The Nokia N1 starts at $250 and is set to go on sale in China before the Chinese New Year -- that's February 19, 2015. Information on other international pricing and release dates have yet to be announced, but the US dollar price converts to around £160 or AU$290.

The N1 looks trendy and slim. It's 6.9mm thick and an aluminum frame that comes in dark gray or silver. Its 7.9-inch IPS LCD screen boasts a 4:3 aspect ratio with a 2,048x1,536-pixel resolution. Inside you'll find a 64-bit 2.3GHz Intel Atom Z3580 CPU and PowerVR G6430 GPU with 2GB RAM.

Nokia N1 houses a whopping 32GB of internal storage. Initially this sounds impressive, until you realise it can't be expanded.  

Other features on the Nokia N1 include stereo speakers, Bluetooth 4.0, an 8-megapixel camera on the back and a 5-megapixel one on the front -- rather high for a front-facing camera.

The Nokia N1 is one of the first tablets to sport a USB Type-C socket, which is a reversible USB port that's set to replace all types of USB connections. It's not the sexiest cutting-edge feature, but it's useful future-proofing.

The N1 is also the first to sport Nokia's Android launcher,               Z Launcher. Running on top of the latest version of Google's operating system, Lollipop 5.0, the Z Launcher simplifies the home screen with a gridlike display of apps.
