Google
officially unveiled the Nexus 7 tablet at the Google I/O Developer
Conference in San Francisco. Manufactured by ASUS, this is the first
attempt by .
As
the name suggests, the Google Nexus 7 features a 7" IPS display with a
resolution of 1280x800 pixels. The tablet is powered by a 1.3GHz
quad-core Tegra 3 chip with 1GB of RAM and 12 core ultra-low voltage
nVidia GeForce GPU.
And
despite the capable hardware, Google managed to keep the price of the
Nexus 7 impressively low. The slate will come in 8GB and 16GB flavors,
which will retail for $199 and $249 respectively.
The
Google Nexus 7 comes with Wi-Fi a/b/g/n, Bluetooth and NFC connectivity
and Google Wallet preinstalled. Sadly, there isn’t a 3G model
available, but obviously keeping the price as low as possible was key
here. That's also the reason there isn't a camera at the back, and only a
1.2MP front-facing snapper. However, it's capable of shooting 720p
video, so it's not all bad.
Measuring
198.5 x 120 x 10.5 mm the 7-incher weighs in at 340 grams which is
respectful for its size. The Amazon Kindle Fire and the Samsung Galaxy
Tab 2 7.0 will be having a hard time indeed.
Here's the promo video of the Google Nexus 7.
