The processor was as impressive as we had hoped for in advance, with the 2.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor. We had expected this because of the benchmark tests seen months ago. So certainly the processor isn’t going to hold this tablet back. It has a 10.1-inch FHD 1920×1080 display designed to provide good outdoor and indoor readability, or the best of any tablet in the world even, in Nokia’s own words.
