Nokia has just announced that they will be releasing a new tablet called the N1, which in turn signals their return to the smart device market.

The new N1 tablet uses the Android operating system called Lollipop. The screen is 7.9 inches and is a full touch screen with a camera. The camera is 8MP with a camera of 5MP for the front facing. The tablet has an internal memory of 32GB. It also has Bluetooth connectivity and GPS.

So far, all of the users say that is looks and feels a lot like an iPad or an iPad mini. It is a lot thinner than the iPads though, as it is much lighter as well.

There will be quite a few apps available on the tablet. Along with Instagram, SnapChat, games, and many others, the tablet will be able to store so many of them. Along with your photos and books, you can use this tablet just like a laptop, but it's smaller and easier to move around.

The tablet will sell for $249 and can be bought in Lava Grey or Natural Aluminum. The tablet is going to be launched into the Asian markets first around the time of the Chinese New Year which is February 19. Other markets will be receiving the device not long after that.

While there's no word about when consumers can expect to purchase the new Nokia N1 in the United States, sources speculate that it should launch long before Apple introduces a new product.
