Google is finally brining its “pure Android” tablet Nexus 7 to India soon at Rs 15,999 (above $300). Made by Taiwanese hardware manufacturer Asus, the Nexus 7 tablet runs Android Jelly Bean and is available through the Google Play store. Google Play lists a ship date of April 5 in India.
Nexus 7 is touted to be the lightest tablet in the market and comes with 16 GB and 32 GB flash memory variants. It has a 7-inch IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen and packs a 1.2 GHz quad-core Cortex-A9 NVIDIA Tegra processor. There’s also a 1 GB RAM which makes browsing a breeze. The Nexus 7 has Wi-Fi support (No GSM slot). The WiFi-only device is reasonably well-priced to compete with the likes of the iPad mini.
The table comes preloaded with Google Now which the company says brings the right information, at just the right time. “It tells you today’s weather before you start your day, how much traffic to expect before you leave for work, or if your flight is delayed. All of this happens automatically, with cards appearing at the moment you need them,” it says.
Nexus 7 comes with a front-end camera for video-calling. The device comes with 4,325 mAh battery.
The tablet offers the advantage of large storage of apps and other mobile content available through Google Play.
In a price sensitive market like India, the price point offered by Google is just right and it remains to be seen how things work out for Google here.
