Just when everyone thought that Nokia is no longer a tough competitor in the tech market, it announced the new Nokia N1 that boasts awesome specs and features that are at par with other tablets like the Nexus 9 slate from Google.
Surprisingly, the Nokia N1 is not a Windows-based device as it runs with the latest Android 5.0 Lollipop OS, just like the Nexus 9.
