Google has unveiled a new-generation, slimmer Nexus 7 tablet that the internet search company hopes will expand its presence in consumer hardware, and ensure that its online services remain front-and-centre on mobile devices.
The latest Nexus 7, featuring a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and a higher display resolution, will go on sale in the US on 30 July priced at $229 for a basic version with 16 gigabytes of storage. Its predecessor started at $199 for an 8 gigabyte version.
Display
The new Nexus 7 has a vastly improved screen with a resolution of 1920 x 1200 compared to the original Nexus 7 resolution of 1280 x 800, or 323ppi compared to the old version of 216ppi.[more…]
Lighter and lasts longer
The clean, simple design features a slim body, a thin bezel and a soft-touch, matte back. It measures 7.62mm x 200mm x 114.3mm and weighs 290g. With up to 9 hours of HD video playback and 10 hours of web browsing or e-reading, there’s plenty of juice to get you through the day, and built-in wireless charging means you can charge, grab, and go.
Powered by Android
The latest device comes with the latest Android 4.3 operating system.
Share your tablet with friends and family – each person has a separate customizable space, including personal homescreens, wallpaper, apps, storage, and more. You can also manage access to apps and content to create an experience that’s appropriate for each member of the family.
