The truth about the Nokia N1

Nokia surprised everyone when Slush in Finland presented its new android tablet N1 during the conference. All news agencies embraced the thrill, and their articles turned out to be full of hopes and anticipation of the revival of Toyota-Nokia itself.



However, this idyllic fantasy will not come true, at least for now. Indeed, in the history of an unexpected turn. Tablet N1 is not a Nokia device in fact, but just an example of potentially successful franchising.



Nokia no longer has a device manufacturing division: everyone knows that in 2013 it was sold with gut Microsoft. Therefore, the N1 is made by Chinese contract manufacturer Foxconn, which also manufactures the iPhone and Ipad.

But Nokia’s relationship with Foxconn is different from Apple’s relationship with Foxconn. You are buying an Apple device, not Foxconn; For technical support, you are contacting Apple, not Foxconn. Apple hardware buyers never have to deal with Foxconn.



In the case of the N1, Foxconn, in addition to the actual production of the tablet, will be engaged in sales, distribution and provision of support for device owners. Nokia licenses the brand, industrial design, Z Launcher software layer and intellectual property, receiving a reward for each Foxconn device released.
