Nokia N1 specs and why I think it's DOA

Nokia has released their first device after Microsoft - the N1 and it's an iPad mini clone running Android Lollipop. It's also one of the first devices with a reversible type-c USB connector.

It looks almost identical to the iPad.

The price is quite good at $249, and it will be released first in China in February. After that in Russia and selected countries in Europe. Personally I don't think this Android tablet will succeed. I think it's DOA. Watch video above why.
