Nexus 7

Google Launched Nexus 7

 

With the highest resolution screen ever seen on a 7-inch tablet, the new Nexus 7 is the best Android tablet ever made.  The original Google Nexus 7 by Asus really kickstarted the market for the mini tablet, and was launched well before Apple’s iPad mini pitting it against the Kindle Fire. With this second generation, Google has really declared war on the iPad mini - and with a screen that’s the highest resolution in its class.  While the previous Nexus had a 1280×800 screen running a ppi of 216, the second-generation Nexus 7 is sporting a 1900×1200 screen running a gargantuan 326 ppi, just for some perspective the current 4th generation iPad has a ppi of 264.

As well as the screen getting a major bump in specs, the Nexus 7 has ditched the Tegra processor is now sporting a 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor, and it has also seen a significant increase in onboard RAM, which has now jumped from 1GB to 2GB.

The Nexus 7 comes in two variants: 16 and 32GB, but unfortunately memory cannot be supplemented via microSD cards.

There’s obviously support for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 (including Bluetooth Smart support), and a GPS. Additionally you’ll find a gyroscope, accelerometer, and a digital compass too.
Interestingly the battery on the new Nexus 7 has actually been decreased from 4325mAh to 3950mAh, but is said to last longer due to software optimisations made in Android 4.3, and should last you up to 9 hours of HD playback and 10 hours of web browsing or e-reading.

 “Pound for pound, the Nexus 7 is the best small tablet you can buy [...] It houses a ridiculously sharp, bright screen, its gaming performance is second only to the fourth-generation iPad, and as a Google-branded tablet it will always see the latest version of Android before any other tablet brand.” -  Cnet
