Google has done it again. Teaming up with ASUS, Google yesterday unveiled their next-gen Nexus 7 tablet that comes loaded with a lot of new features, design improvements and the all new Android 4.3 Jelly Bean.
The new Nexus 7 touts the world’s highest-resolution 7-inch tablet screen which packs 323ppi full HD 1920 x 1200 resolution. The previous Nexus 7 only had a resolution of 1200 x 800, so this time it’s a great improvement. New tab is also less heavier at only 50 grams and sports a quad-core 1.4GHz Snapdragon S4 Pro chip, 1.2 MP front and 5 MP back cameras and 2GB of RAM. According to Google, the impressive battery on this new tab is capable of running it for “more than nine hours of HD video playback and 10 hours of web browsing or reading.”
Google’s Sundar Pichai announced that 10% of all Android tablet activation’s are Nexus 7 tablets. And now with this new amazing tab, the percentage will definitely reach higher. The new Nexus 7 even won the Engadget’s 7-inch tablet comparison. Yes, the price is a little bit higher than the others but when it comes down to the specs and features, nothing can beat the Google’s new tab.
Nexus 7 heads out in the U.S. for $229 (16 GB) and $270 (32 GB) starting July 30.
Check out Google’s brilliant promotional video for the new Nexus 7, which shows how a kid motivates himself to do a speech in front of the class, and ends up taking advice from the tablet to ask a girl out. Unlike Microsoft’s lame iPad vs Surface comparison ads, Google uses this great story telling way to show off all the awesome features in this video.
