Nokia teases its second ever Android tablet for October 6 launch

It will be HMD Global's first tablet since acquiring exclusive rights to the Nokia brand.

What you need to know

  • Nokia teased its upcoming Android tablet, the brand's second such device ever.
  • The device is set to be announced on October 6.
  • It could be the rumored Nokia T20 with modest specs.

Nokia is set to announce a new tablet on October 6. The company has released a teaser for the upcoming unveiling, implying that the new slate will be inspired by the Nokia 3310 from 2017.

The tablet appears to have rounded edges, similar to Nokia's recent smartphone lineup. Aside from that, the teaser doesn't reveal much about what Nokia has up its sleeve. It only shows a sliver of a slate peeking out from around a corner, alongside the Nokia 3310 in full view.

That said, it's possible that the teaser refers to the same tablet that hit the rumor mill earlier this year, dubbed the Nokia T20. It will reportedly have a 10.36-inch display and will be available in two configurations: WiFi and 4G LTE. That tablet is said to have 4GB of RAM and at least 64GB of internal storage.

It will be the first tablet released by HMD Global since acquiring exclusive rights to the Nokia brand for mobile devices in a joint venture with Foxconn. The first tablet under this brand was the Nokia N1, released in 2015 featuring an Intel Atom processor.

Nokia's renewed focus on tablets comes as the market begins to show signs of recovery after a few years of decline. For example, Strategy Analytics recently reported an increase in demand for tablets midway through 2021, owing to the growing adoption of hybrid work environments and digitized classrooms.

However, given the limited information about the actual specs of Nokia's upcoming tablet, it remains to be seen how it will stack up against the best cheap Android tablets.

More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
