Google has made it official: the search giant launched the Nexus 7, a powerful and affordable 7-inch tablet running the new Android Jelly Bean 4.1 operating system, powered by NVIDIA Tegra 3 SoC (system-on-chip) and made by ASUS.
The highly rumored device lived up to our expectations, for a starting price of $199 (8 GB version) the quality is awesome. The 1280×800 IPS display enhanced by the new ASUS TruVivid engine delivers a great viewing experience, with well contrasted colors. Additionally, the quad-core 1.3 GHz Tegra 3 processor with a 12-core GPU brings serious power to the mix, enabling an enjoyable entertainment experience.
To keep the price down, the elegant device has been stripped from anything unnecessary, connectivity-wise, you’ll get only a Micro USB port and an audio jack, it seems that 3G will not be supported and there is no rear camera.
The 8GB version will be priced at $199 while the 16GB model will cost $249, both devices
come with preloaded entertainment such as the Transformers: Dark Side of the Moon movie and the Bourne Dominion book. Lucky Nexus 7 owners will also get $25 credit to spend in Google Play. It is available for pre-order via play.google.com and is expected to begin shipping in mid-July.
We got a unit on the first day of Google I/O and we spend the next day to test it for you.
