Microsoft may have taken control of Nokia's Lumia phone business but Nokia is still making hardware and here we're taking a closer look at is n1 tablets running android although you can see which is running on the latest Android 5.0 lollipop you actually can't really tell because Nokia has put his dead launcher over the top now the Zed launcher does look really neat you can see this is your home screen where you've got some of your some of your key apps and to find new apps all you do is simply draw a letter on screen and the tablet will then search for any apps beginning with that letter you can see drawing T brought up the Twitter app and Ted now you can just search for your list of apps alphabetically as well by swiping over to an app list here and you'll see familiar Android things like the drop-down notification panel where you'll still get access to key settings like brightness and so on if you're not keen on Ted launcher you can get rid of it though and just use a standard Android lollipop interface and if you're keen to try Android Zed launcher then you can actually get it for your Android phone now the interface looks nice and sharp and colorful and that is thanks to the 7.9 inch display that has a 2048 by 1536 pixel resolution which is very high definition so everything does look really nice and crisp now it's running on a 2.3 gigahertz dual-core processor as a 64-bit Intel chip and it does seem to be pretty Swift design of this thing is very familiar although still very nice you can see if I turn it round we've got an all-metal aluminium body it's got this sort of brushed matte finish which feels nice although does look very similar to Apple's iPad Mini of course if we look down here we can see with these drilled speaker holes and an interesting addition is the USB type-c connector here now that is the new version of the USB connector which means you can plug it in either way round so no more of that awkward swapping when you go to bed it's fairly lightweight and the metal design does make it feel like a very premium device on the back here as well because you've got a 5 megapixel camera and there's a 2 megapixel camera on the front as well for video calling now the n1 is already on sale in China and it costs the equivalent of about $250 which is very affordable considering the tech as inside this thing sadly there is no of a wider release yet but we are hoping for more information in the coming few months I'm Andrew Hoyle for CNET at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona and this is the Nokia n1
