Nokia N1 versus Google Nexus 9: Battle of the new tablets

Nokia's announcement that they will release their very first tablet in the market next year has gotten a lot of people curious as to what the upcoming Finnish-branded device has to offer. Nokia's N1 tablet is the first product that the company will roll out after they sold their mobile phone product line to Microsoft earlier this year.

Nokia is a respected name when it comes to mobile phones, but can the Nokia N1 compete against its major competitors?  Here's a look at the side by side comparison between the Nokia N1, which will be released sometime in 2015, and the HTC-menufactured Google Nexus 9 that is already available in stores since October this year.
