Nokia is back: Launches Android 5.0 Lollipop tablet, the N1

Nokia N1 tablet
As if what Xiaomi did to Apple wasn't enough, Nokia too modeled its new tablet after the iPad Mini. The new Nokia N1 Android tablet looks very much like Apple's iPad Mini; excerpt that it beats the Mini in terms of camera quality and design. I for one never saw this coming. So Nokia can keep a secret.

Just seven months after letting go of its handset business to US-based company Microsoft, Finnish firm  Nokia today launched a new Android 5.0 Lollipop tablet, the 7.9-inch Nokia N1. The Nokia NI Android tablet is the first tablet to come with a reversible USB port(You don't have to look for the right side to plug it in)
