It is the Matt body model that looks much better as it feels much nicer plus has a much better grip on the device due to its texture.



Graphically the tablet is pretty good with the 1080p Full HD display that helps in utilizing Nokia’s Clear Black technology, while the screen of the tablet is quite easy on the eye and includes quite some awesome visual effects.

Overall in the end it is not such a bad effort by Nokia to release its first tablet but at the same time it is no position to compete with the market supremacy of iPad. Even though the Windows 8.1 RT operating system has some loose ends to it the tablets strong display and speedy processor gives it an excellent combination to it. For a first attempt by Nokia to make a tablet it is that bad.
