Nokia tablet launches with 15 hours of battery life and a $250 price tag

▤ Summary

LONDON — The company that makes Nokia-branded phones on Wednesday unveiled its first tablet, the Nokia T20, in a challenge to Apples iPad. In July, HMD launched the Nokia XR20, a "rugged" smartphone designed to withstand intense environmental conditions. Now, HMD is hoping to capitalize on growing demand for tablets after working from home and remote learning became the norm for many during the pandemic. Global tablet sales were forecast to reach growth in 2020 for the first time in six years, according to data from Strategy Analytics. "We dont tend to build our strategy around who can we steal share off," Ferguson said, adding the tablet was likely to attract Android users more than Apple customers.
