For example, in order to remove the gadget from the lock mode, you do not need to constantly reach the corresponding button. This is possible, because on the device Nokia N1 provides for unlocking by double tapping the screen with your finger. However, there is one important point: you can not install a lock on the tablet in the same way.

Let's talk about cameras

The main camera has a resolution of 8 Mpx, there is no flash, but there is autofocus. With its help, you can make good shots according to the criteria that are adopted for the tablets. The front camera is somewhat worse, has a solution of 5 Mpx. For video calls and selfies it is quite enough.

Functionality

Having drawn the first letter of the program name on the screen with your fingertip, you will immediately see the entire list available. You can also use this method to search the Internet. This makes the work with the gadget quite comfortable and easy.

But there were some shortcomings. These include the lack of a connector for a memory card (you will have to do with the 32 GB RAM), as well as having only one method of connecting to the Internet - Wi-Fi (there is no 3G version). Such nuances can upset some users.

Battery
