Last year Google entered the
global tablet market with the launch of its own tablet Nexus 7. The search engine giant did manage to make a solid impact
in the worldwide tablet market with its entry. Many market analysts were expecting
that the big G will be unveiling the next version of its tablet at the Google
I/O 2013, which did not happen.
CNET published a report on the status of Google’s new Nexus 7 in its blog. According to that
report Google
has gone very close to unveiling its next generation of Nexus 7 tablet. HIS,
which is a market research company itself, has provided this bit of news to the
CNET. The report also added that Japan Display and AUO have been developing and
manufacturing the display of 2nd generation Nexus 7 tablet. It has
to be added here that the tablet is being made by Quanta itself.
DigiTimes too published a news report on it recently. It claims that
this new tablet of Google will likely to start moving towards the retails
stores in the month of July. This particular report also reveals that the web
giant is going to price its next version of Nexus 7 for $229. The new tablet
will have the memory of 16GB, which is quite sufficient to be considered in the
elite league of tablets. In the mean time we shouldn’t forget that few days
back Facebook and Twitter unveiled applications for Google Glass. It is also likely to come in 2013 only, so
this year is gonna be rocking for the gadget freaks.
The report of the DigiTimes mentions that Google has kept the price of
this new tablet relatively higher than the previous version on purpose. The
company does not want to compete directly with the low-end
tablet makers, the numbers of which have been increasing quite heavily in
recent times.
There are so many rumors are
going already around the specifications of this new upcoming tablet. It is
expected that new Nexus 7 tablet
will have a 7 inch screen with a display of 1920*1200 (full HD). The pixel
density of the tablet is rumored to be of 323 pixels per inch. It will
eventually dump its predecessor’s NVIDIA Tegra 3 processor, and instead to be
powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon processor. This tablet is likely to target and
take on Apple’s next generation iPad mini and Amazon’s Kindle Fire HD tablets.
Google made the first
version of the Nexus 7 in collaboration with Asus. It has a 7-inch IPS screen
with a display resolution of 1280*800. Some of the other highlighting features
of this tablet are its 1GB of RAM, 4,325 mAh battery, 1.2-megapixel front
camera. Currently the interested buyers can own it from Google’s own app store
“Google Play” for $199 only.
It will be fascinating to
see if Google launches the new Nexus 7 tablet at a relatively higher price
($299) or not, and if it does that then whether that move hurts the overall
sales of the device or not.

DeleteIt is better to have Panasonic tablets with android through roamingtech if you are living in Australia as more features are there in rugged laptops and in tablets, but who uses they know very well.
