We analyze the new Nexus July 2013 - TICbeat

class=”c3″> is now available in Spain the new tablet Google Nexus 7 that with a price of 229 euros for the model Wi-Fi 16 GB , and a highly upgraded hardware ranks as one of the most attractive options for those seeking a 7-inch tablet with good economic performance. In TICbeat We could spend an afternoon testing the tablet to check that the new Nexus 7 improves in all respects to its predecessor and meets some of its shortcomings to offer excellent value for money, though not without the occasional “compromise.”

Outside, simple

class=”c4″> Externally, the tablet has dimensions quite contained, is 20 cm high by 11.4 wide and is held very well with one hand as it is very light (290 grams) panoramic, and also with 8.6 mm thick, is now significantly thinner than last year’s edition. The finish is very simple, in plastic, but it is nice to the touch and looks more or less suffered. Since then, the luxurious looks away an iPad mini aluminum, its “direct competitor” but its price is 100 euros higher equivalent configurations. In our view, the Nexus 7 is “too black”, with its large black frame and smooth rear plastic rubber effect finish (hopefully not a thin film as it has happened with some gadgets with this finish the few months reveal smooth plastic bottom). In the previous model, the rear had a texture that was something else of interest to the case, but in the 2013 ed ition is a matte finish with just the logo of Nexus and Asus, maker of the tablet hardware.

As for buttons and connections, has three buttons on the right side (volume and power), a headset socket on the top left and a micro USB connector at the bottom. This connector is for connecting data to charge the tablet (although it can charge wirelessly by induction without special jackets), and as SlimPort video output HDMI .

High resolution screen

screen class=”c4″> The Nexus 7 is one of its key players. It is an IPS panel (the same technology used by the iPad) and Google has increased the resolution of their 7.02 “inches up to 1,920 x 1,200, slightly higher than a Full HD (1,920 x 1,080), and a pixel density of 323 ppi (same as an iPhone 5 with Retina display). The screen is also covered by a manufacturer’s crystal scratch resistant Corning. At first contact with the tablet, image quality is very good tablet with good brightness and contrast, and high pixel density give excellent definition to images and texts. However, and this is one of the “buts” most important of Nexus 7 from our point of view is rather small, especially for their wide frames and their as scenic character, which is ideal for watching mov ies, but not so much to read on screen or to browse Web pages . To this is added the Android interface itself with the home button, back and multitasking on screen take away a small band, which is not present in tablets with physical buttons on the front. Thus, as was the case with the 2012 model, when comparing to an iPad mini, it seems that the latter is “more screen space”, although its resolution is actually lower.

Cameras and sound

One of the drawbacks of the Nexus 7 last year was the lack of rear camera and had only one front for video calls or similar. But the truth is that the tablets are the most popular device for taking pictures or video, many saw a defect in this gap. So how much the new model with a 5MP rear camera with auto focus. In our first contact we have seen that photo quality is not very high (in the absence of more extensive testing we have found lower than that of an iPhone 4S or an iPad mini), but video recording is pretty good HD resolution, with good brightness without too much noise.

As for the sound, the Nexus 7 is equipped with stereo speakers and “Fraunhofer virtual surround sound.” In our preliminary tests we have found that the sound is also good, better than an iPad, but does not fail to be a tablet, so that the volume and bass response is very limited.

Connections

As we mentioned, the Nexus 7 has a micro USB connection that doubles as a video output and wireless field, for now, only available with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0 dual band. It is expected that in the future can also purchase a model with 4G data connection. In addition, the tablet allows the use of standard NFC proximity to connect devices to transfer images or movies.

On the other hand, the tablet features conventional sensors such as ambient light sensor, GPS, gyroscope, accelerometer and digital compass, needed especially for applications that use the location, such as maps and navigation, or games that use the accelerometer as control systems.

Performance and autonomy

2013 Nexus 7 has a quad-core processor Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro 1.5 GHz with Adreno 320 graphics processor and 2 GB of RAM. With this hardware and the optimization of the system Google has made in the new version Android 4.3, the operation of the tablet is very fluid , even with multiple applications open, using high graphic load games or playing HD movies. As for autonomy, 3,950 mAh battery, a capacity slightly lower than last year’s model, but Google says that allows up to nine hours of video playback in HD and ten hours of reading or browsing the internet. In the absence of a more leisurely the device, you can only say that they are within the average figures (the iPad mini, for example, has more than 10 hours of battery life).

System and software

The Nexus 7 is the first tablet that runs on Android 4.3. Among the novelties of this version is the ability to create user profiles to share the tablet or to limit access to content and applications, for example, children. In addition, the tablet includes the new store Play Google games, and Google applications for music or those known for maps, Google Earth, the search engine Google predictive Now, etc..

Conclusion

After spending a few hours with the new Nexus 7, first impressions are certainly good. Google has a very complete, very good performance and a competitive price. The only fault we could put (with reservations by the fact that very little evidence exhaustive) are the camera, which we felt regular quality photos, and that the screen is a bit small despite its excellent resolution and sharpness. However, if you keep in mind that we are talking about a tablet just over 200 euros, we are sure to be one of the best sellers this fall.

    Google Nexus 5 official presentation or can be forgotten

    Google is surprising everyone this 2013 with their innovations and technological provisions in the area, and after the news that Google downgraded $ 100 Nexus 4 , the possible submission of Google Nexus May was clearly a reality next.
    id=”more-58930″/>
    great variety of phones with Google Android operating system has greatly boosted many companies, and Google does not want to miss the furor it has caused on the planet with its mobile software, including first smartphone manufactured in the United States, Google Moto X is already a reality.

    The suggested strategy to launch a gadget, if it has a predecessor, has always been lowering the price of the gadget and then announce the release of the new that will replace the old. That’s why Google may be working on the launch of the Google Nexus 5 , as it has lowered the prices of their versions of Google Nexus 4.

    And while this is not an indication that the Google Nexus 5 can come on the road, whether it is a sign that Google prepares new smartphones and it has recently released the smartphone ready and prepared your company acquired Motorola, Google Moto X is ready and has been produced entirely in the United States .

    Google is already testing its strength as a manufacturer, as well as a developer, and the truth is that it is starting to go very well in this regard, Google planned diversification is taking you to be a leader in many sectors and increasingly approaches its main objectives.

    Whatever

    going to be the case, we will give more details soon from Google Moto X, Nexus or 5, if the latter is to be produced, though it seems not, and that there are already news and rumors strongly about.

    Google lowers Nexus 4 and is now selling the new Nexus 7 - Orange Spain

    brand smartphones and tablets Google are a hit with users thanks to its great value . Although Google is the one who puts party software and hardware, the Nexus devices have gotten dazzle the users given their benefits, that devices placed at the level of the major rivals of Mountain View. Aware that the price decanted balance in his favor, the U.S. company has lowered no less than 100 euros its latest smartphone, the Nexus 4 , made by LG.

    The model 8GB Nexus 4 has been lowered to $ 100 / EUR, so now costs $ 199 / EUR in the Google Play Store. The same goes for the 16 GB model which now happens to have a $ 249 price / euros (at the moment, all Nexus devices are in stock, with a Availability of 1 to 2 days). In addition, if you already purchased a Nexus 4 in the two weeks prior to the downgrade, Google will refund 100 euros , but need to hurry because this promotion ends on September 12.

    Thus, Google prepares to battle field with new smartphones that will be presented in September, as the iPhone 5S and 5C Apple iPhone or will see at the IFA 2013 in Berlin. On the other hand, has been put up for sale, also in Google Play, the second generation of the tablet Nexus 7 . The 16 GB model is on sale for 229 euros while the 32 GB model is available for 269 euros .

    From today is available in Google Play and electronics superstores tablet new generation of Google Nexus 7 .

    With a seven-inch screen, the currently available only in version with Wi-Fi and storage capacities of 16 and 32 GB . Prices are from 229 and 269 euros, respectively. Currently there are no expected arrival date model with mobile access to the Internet but the connection will support LTE / 4G.

    Certainly while Google has dropped the price of the phone Mobile Nexus 4 to $ 199 the model with 8GB of memory and $ 249 with 16 GB model. The Nexus 4 has always been one of the more interesting Android phones and at this price it is even more, even near the end of its commercial life.

    class=”ladillo”>

    Returning to the tablet

    star of the day, the Nexus 7 2013 comes with significant improvements over its predecessor . It is lighter and thinner, to resort to a more compact battery and with some smaller capacity. It also dispenses with much of the rubber back.

    However, the Nexus 7 is proving very comfortable in the hand (for its size and light weight, 290 grams), while autonomy is not impaired thank new processors and software power management that incorporates Android version 4.3 installed on the tablet, making the role between 9 and 10 hours of battery life playing video and Internet browsing.

    Optionally the Nexus 7 can be charged wirelessly, without the need for wired using induction charging base which is optional.

    class=”ladillo”>

    is Full HD screen with a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels with excellent sharpness . This screen resolution allows playback of high definition video in 1080, although an initial impression with playing YouTube videos with this resolution seemed to choke a little.

    I’d say the graphics processor to the resolution of the Nexus 7 comes a little big, but probably this is one of those areas where you have to compromise to maintain a selling price more than tempting. The relationship between price and performance is definitely the main feature of this tablet.

    However with the operating system and some more or less demanding game I’ve had occasion to try onscreen movements were absolutely fluids . Incidentally, Google also launches Google Play Games to facilitate access to Android games.

    One advantage of the sharpness so big it has screen Nexus 7 is that it is convenient read text , even of small siz e. This makes the Google tablet even more versatile as well as tablet can be used as electronic book reader. Through Kindle for Android you can access the complete catalog of eBooks from Amazon, for example.

    Premieres class=”ladillo”>

    Another novelty of this model from the tablet Nexus 7 2012 is incorporating a 5-megapixel rear camera , which is in addition to the 1.2-megapixel front. Do not expect much from the camera when I made a test shot, but I would say that the result has been quite reasonable if there is enough light.

    One small drawback that I appreciated for as long as I can ‘tinker ‘with the Nexus 7 is that horizontal side edges are too thin , leaving little room to accommodate your thumbs. While this remains very content the size of the Nexus 7 (measures only 11.4 x 20 cm) sometimes inadvertently pressing means any part of the screen. It is desirable that the system was able to distinguish when the screen is being pressed voluntarily and when it is an accidental touch when holding the tablet as the iPad does.

    class=”ladillo”>

    probably find the Nexus 7 does not rival among other tablets with Android operating system. It’s hard to find something like that price. The Kindle Fire HD would be the closest, but it is much less versatile device to be highly targeted to Amazon content consumption.

    Samsung has equivalent alternatives, but the closest model for performance, the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is significantly more expensive and has a lower resolution screen.

    offer remains to be seen what the almost confirmed LG tablet with 8.3-inch screen, although input and will be larger than this Nexus 7.

    Perhaps by now the Nexus 7 is going to find much of the competition in Android phones lately are quite comfortable with screen sizes of around 5 inches, which increasingly difficult to justify having two similar devices display just two inches apart.

    Fair and balanced class=”ladillo”>

    powerlessness try more carefully, the Nexus 7 tablet makes a good impression in his hand. Specifications are reasonably good although somewhat discreet at this time of year and its aesthetics and quality are acceptable. The screen is really where this Nexus 7 highlights, and the price and downplays any flaws while magnifying their strengths.

    Buy Nexus 4 or wait for the new Nexus 5? - Android Help

    Nexus 4 has just been lowered considerably in the store Google Play. It has gone from the 300 euros it cost earlier cost only 200 euros. This represents a reduction of 33% compared to its previous price, which makes it a perfect purchase. Now, it’s time to buy it, or wait for the Nexus 5?

    Rebate

    Nexus 4 launch of Nexus 5

    rebate Nexus 4 is not no accident, and that is very clear. If you have lowered this smartphone is because Google is planning a new release in a matter of time. The quality / price of the Nexus 4 was still good, so it was not crazy to keep the launch price. If you have made the cut is because, obviously, want to liquidate Nexus 4 units they have left, before the arrival of a new smartphone. But if there is no reason to get rid of the units as fast and as low. Therefore, the reduction of the Nexus 4 is a sign that a new Nexus 5 is to come, and also be announced.


    The launch of Nexus 5 is imminent

    Precisely

    the launch of this new terminal should be very close. Surely will be announced in the coming months, and the launch will take place before the end of the year. Keep in mind that release dates at this time of year always seek objective is to get as many sales at the time of end of the year, so there is no doubt that it will be officially launched in the coming months. On the other hand, which at this time has lowered the price of the Nexus 4 confirms that the official presentation of the smartphone is imminent, and will be very soon.

    Nexus 4

    Buy Nexus Nexus 4 or 5?

    The main question is to know what smartphone to buy from them. The Nexus 4, which currently has an unbeatable price, $ 200, or the new Nexus 5. This latest phone, not yet announced, could have a very affordable price too, and is even $ 300. So, it is very difficult to choose between one or another smartphone, because the price difference is not too large for the level difference be between them both. If only they were 100 or 150 euros, which separated the two terminals, it might be interesting to spend a little more to have a completely current smartphone features the latest technical specifications.


    Nexus 4, a smartphone with a bright future

    However, the Nexus 4, although not the most current moving moment when the new Nexus 5 is released, it is certain that it will remain a great performance terminal. With a quad-core processor, and a 2GB RAM, it is certainly one of the smartphones with better performance. But not the best, that’s for sure, it will be of an older generation. But when you consider that getting a smartphone for 200 Euros today of having a terminal basic medium, and only in the best, because then the price of the Nexus 4, and seems even a amazing offer, and that that is, a priori, from one mobile. Therefore, we can say that has a great future, and could last several years buying much more than a Samsung or Sony the same price.

    Nexus 4

    Nexus 5 will have an affordable price?

    The only question that remains is whether the new Nexus 5 will have a price equal to economical than the Nexus 4. If so, save the money for the new phone might be a smart thing, no doubt. However, we do not know if it will for that price, or if you finally opt for a more expensive. The downgrade of the Nexus 4 also could aim liquidate all units so that there is more to selling when it launches the Nexus 5 so that no one can compare the prices of the two being in the market and opt for the Nexus 4 .

    have to buy the Nexus 4

    A good option is to buy the Nexus 4. We do not know if the new Nexus 5 will have just as competitive a price as its predecessor, and even so, buying a $ 200 Nexus 4 is still very fair. It’s a great smartphone for that price, and we never know if the new one will be as economical. It is certainly a good time to buy the Nexus 4 and it will be a good decision.

    That would be the new Nexus 5, whose launch is imminent - Android Help

    Nexus 4 has been lowered to a remarkable extent, has gone from 300 euros, cost only 200 euros. The reason would be the imminent launch of the new Nexus 5 , seeking the liquidation of its predecessor. This smartphone would be the new company’s Mountain View.

    Screen

    The screen will star, as in today’s smartphones. We would talk about a screen of 5.2 inches, so it would be slightly larger than they are the most screens of smartphones in the market. And yes, it would fit with the screen of the LG G2. So it would make a Full HD resolution of 1920 by 1080 pixels. This screen also would have a relatively low width, which would use the smartphone with one hand, which is essential and complicated when you consider that this is a terminal with a screen big enough.

    Nexus logo

    Processor and RAM

    Regarding

    heart of the smartphone, count, as it can not be otherwise, with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 800. The same thing happened last year with the Nexus 4, which had a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro which had just hit the market. Neither the Samsung Galaxy S4 or the HTC One feature of the new Nexus processor 5. This quad-core processor, new generation and is able to achieve a clock frequency of 2.3 GHz Without doubt, this is the best mobile processor market, and it is logical that the one with the Nexus 5. The RAM, on the other hand, it could be a surprise, having finally with 3GB RAM. It is very normal to this type of RAM today, and only has been rumored to be the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Who would have a drive of this capacity. Moreover, this should be added that the LG G2 has a 2GB memory, so it would not match the situation with last year.


    Manufacturer

    really important is who will make the new terminal. He even said that LG will not fabricate this smartphone. However, months after rumors pointed to the contrary, the South Korean company that was working on the Nexus 5, that would be a variant of the LG G2. However, addition of LG, one of the companies which has also been mentioned much as a manufacturer of the new flagship of the Mountain View would be Motorola, which is also a company acquired by Google. Thus, Google would happen to manufacture its own smartphones and even received benefits because preserving resign his margin margin Motorola, which also is for Google. If finally confirmed that Motorola manufactures the new device, we could see a Nexus 5 customizable style Motorola Moto X. This would fit well with the strategy of the American company, which prepared new smartphones for the last months of the year, which would be released in Europe, contrary to what happened with the Motorola Moto X that only be sold in the United States.

    House

    Little is known about the camera you would have this smartphone. So far, the data suggest a 13 megapixel camera. It makes sense, as is common among the flagships, with some exceptions such as the Sony Xperia Z1 that would have a 20.2 megapixel camera. In any case, to confirm this feature yes you have to wait, since the camera has become a very relevant component, since we’re talking about high quality cameras, where there are often large differences.


    Price and Release

    What is really relevant is the price you will have the Nexus 5. We do not know exactly how much it could cost, but the reduction of 4 confirms Nexus will not be too expensive. If we were talking about a Nexus 5 of 500 euros, or 400 euros, they could keep the Nexus 4 for a price of 300 euros, because it would be viable to buy. However, to reduce the price of the Nexus 4, the Nexus 5 Must Have a price of 350-400 euros at launch, which means we’d be talking again a truly affordable smartphone. If we consider that the Sony Xperia Z1 have similar characteristics and could be priced at 700 euros, being able to buy a high-end smartphone at half price is really remarkable. It is certainly something to take into account when it launches the terminal. Its price again become the protagonist, as the Nexus 4 was truly amazing. It would also be a clear rival iPhone. May have features of iPhone 6 with a lower price than the iPhone 5C. In any case, this will have to wait, because d ata will be confirmed at launch. The filing date of the new Nexus 5 would be in late September or early October. The iPhone would be launched before, and the Nexus 5 would be introduced a few weeks later to try to break the news of smartphone success of Cupertino. Even though the terminal was worse, the fact that its price may be half that Apple would be something that would steal all the attention. The idea would be that was presented a few weeks later, but preferably before it goes on sale the new iPhone. That would mean that the launch of the new Nexus 5 could result in about a month. We’ll see how events are triggered in the future.

    is clear that the main attraction of the new Nexus 7 is your price , 229.99 dollars for the 16GB version, well below its rivals, such as the iPad Mini.

    While here we were talking about all the features of the new Nexus 7 and tomorrow we will be in Google’s official presentation in Madrid (and shall count with an extensive analysis of the device on our return to the writing) we wanted our pro answer the question that some of you have done.

    • No memory expansion via SD
    • 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi
    • NFC Technology
    • image output support HD 1080

    Our editorial opinion

    Carlos Gombau

    The best on the market? I would not qualify the new Nexus 7 as such. However, I do think that, as the first version, will be the reference tablet with which all are to be compared. Its performance is enough to consider it.

    Quad-core processor, 1920 x 1200 display, 2GB of RAM, wireless charging, NFC support … What I do not understand is the absence of a microSD slot . Vale has doubled the capacity and now 16 and 32 GB go far.

    also understand the approach that Google gives to your product: consume content on-line, possibly yours. But being able increase its storage capacity only in a cloud and not by physical means is a doubt will point to more than one.

    Now, I do not despistaría me, because the interesting output price is (something that he usually Google), will fly! If you’re into 7 “ and you need a tablet (or you want to taste) front row please.

    Undoubtedly, whether or not the best, it’s a safe bet class=”bold”> .

    Susana Herreros

    launch of the new Nexus 7 has been preceded by a great expectation. We have been weeks pending all the information we have on it. Now is about to occur in Spain.

    better than its predecessor? Since then the improved device characteristics. The screen is FULL HD with a high resolution 1920 x 1200. And crucially on a portable device: reducing weight by almost 20 grams.

    Another improvement to consider: incorporating a 5-megapixel rear camera . When more and more amateur photographers who want to capture images at any time, the importance of cameras on mobile devices is increasing.

    also comes with the latest version of Android, 4.3. The price will be slightly larger than the Nexus 7 Current , but I think it’s worthwhile will value it will offer.

    class=”c4″/>

    is clear that the new model of Nexus 7 will have obvious improvements over the original version of the tablet. Thinner, lighter, more powerful, higher resolution screen … But this dish is best made with the most exclusive ingredients, for the best chef in the international arena that fried eggs with ham?

    The fact that a product is best depends largely on the user who will enjoy it. Some will argue that it has the best screen, others will think that their size is excessive, for some will be low, and so on.

    not forget that the fact to launch a tablet economic entails a sacrifice of specifications , as in this case happens to the chamber of the Nexus 7 (which I feel are 5Mpx something insufficient) and that currently there have been numerous failures Nexus 7, which we already have in ComputerHoy.com.

    powerful tablet, with great image quality and cost, but whose position on the podium of the 7-inch tablets largely depend, as always, the personal opinion of the user.

    Tomas Gonzalez

    have won, the Google . Every time you put a new product on the market, worth leaving what we are doing, raise at least one eyebrow and see what they offer now.

    It will highlight innovative

    by – sometimes too much – however useful, for free … or, as in the case of the Nexus range, by wrapping in an amazing way with the flag of “good, nice, cheap” and offer the user a value ruthlessly trampling any of its rivals.

    have done with the past Nexus 7 , they will this time again. More powerful, more innovative, lighter, market price … where the hell is the trick?

    Frankly, I would not waste my time thinking about it. I would put the line to get back as soon as possible Nexus 7 and start to enjoy it, no doubt, will be one of the best tablets of 2013.

    Until Google offers me a new reason to raise at least an eyebrow.

    For performance and price , certainly the Nexus 7 is the best 7 inch tablet time , another thing is the time I get to keep that status privilege, as the leap in quality and performance has been much lower than expected.

    increased screen resolution and the presence of a main chamber, may not be sufficient grounds to compensate for the presence of a processor, Snapdragon S4 Pro , not overly currently believe that theirs had been picking a Snapdragon 600 – and lower battery capacity.

    So with just a few minor tweaks their competition will have no trouble “chair move him” in no time .

    Noelia Hernandez tablet I have, to this day do not need it, but when the time comes (which it will) I think the 7 “will not be an option to consider.’ve had one in my hands and I prefer that size a smartphone from just over 5 “as the Galaxy Note II.

    In my case, with this I have left to meet the needs that I have to use a tablet and phone functions like give me more versatility. If I change my mind, Nexus 7 will undoubtedly among the options to be considered , especially since your screen (1920 x 1200 Full HD) promises much.

    The rest of its features are typical of high-end models, so you may need a little pocket scratching when compared to other tablets in its class (229 € for 16GB and € 269 for 32GB), but with a very tight once their specifications are known.

    Spain will go on sale tomorrow, August 28, so before giving a final verdict, wait for our friends at Google that let me try it, just in a few days I can not wait to have my own Nexus 7 .

    Alberto Martín

    Although expected a higher jump, if I wanted a tablet of 7 inches (which is not the case), I’d buy this. For me, right now is the best tablet 7” . Without a doubt.

    I would not add more, dear reader. For the price we have the Nexus 7 you will not find a tablet that size better, at least until several months.

    Cortito and foot.

    With the previous version, Google took a major hit on the table and into fashion a new segment of tablets, 7-inch .

    original 7

    Nexus was the benchmark for this new market since its launch almost until his death, and made powerful Apple rethink its commitment to unique and exclusive 10-inch tablets.

    Now, with the launch of the new Nexus 7 , Google has done it again revolutionize the market, and has done so through a device much better than its predecessor, with a better screen resolution, higher pixel density, better processor and double the RAM at a price slightly higher than her older sister.

    So, we are still at the best 7 inch tablet price / quality ratio that currently exists in the market. The duration of this hegemony, itself raises more doubts me, and perhaps its place at number one is not as durable, time will tell.


    Any more doubts?

    The user experience of the two Nexus 7 on a comparative ... - Tablet Zone

    If you already have a Nexus 7 (2012) certainly have a doubt in your head now that the new generation has been presented and it is only two days to put up for sale in Spain. Is it worth buying it or not? If we put next to each other is clearly reflected in their characteristics year difference of both devices. Today I want to offer a comparative the two Nexus 7 video to help.

    In the following video made by AndroidPIT discussing technical specifications, of course. However, it gives prominence to the user experience, what you perceive when you’re making a tablet everyday use. In this sound quality, the performance, fluency in navigation and autonomy are essential.

    is why we show evidence coming to highlight it. With the sound, both use the ASUS SonycMaster technology , however, the internal location of new computer speakers makes the sound has more body and sharpness , although which first has more power.

    the graphics are three fundamental factors. First, the new screen is far superior . The 1920 x 1200 pixels exceed 1280 x 800 pixels. In addition, the Snapdragon S4 Pro chip outperforms the Tegra 3 oldest, partly also double the RAM. Finally, Android 4.3 support for OpenGL ES 3.0 enables developers to take a step beyond visual creations and you see represented on the screen of the tablet. In this sense both tablets are alike because they both have the same software but, again, the screen and the internal hardware will also say in the outcome.

    Regarding performance

    and fluency, it all has to do with the processor and RAM . More speed in each of the four cores, and fold this type of memory is a guarantee.

    Nexus battery

    7 (2013) is smaller, although the autonomy not feel little . A better adaptation of software to hardware balances the contest.

    Finally, we recall the prices. His translation of dollar to euro, will be 1-1.

    New Nexus Nexus 7 vs. 10 comparative video with the two ... - Tablet Zone

    dir=”ltr”>

    ” who are thinking about getting a tablet have at their disposal two interesting models marketed by Google, one manufactured by Asus and the other by Samsung . Both are extremely powerful solvents and equipment, each within their particular size. We bring a detailed comparative video where we can see directly the format that offer both and what are your strengths.

    Before starting must remember that the new Nexus 7 is a device of 2013, recently introduced and has the experience of previous generation, while the Nexus 10 was launched nearly 10 months ago, so some details will decide the balance in favor of the former, but both devices have a quality / price truly exceptional.

    External appearance

    Obviously, there is a clear difference in size between the two teams and by the video we see it directly. The tablet made by Asus is 7 inches and Samsung , 10 inches. Although we are seeing lately equipment amounting to 8 inches, these two formats are the most common within the industry.

    size frames also find noticeable differences. The Nexus 10 was not spared in this area, preferring to provide enough space to hold the device, while the Nexus 7 has done just the opposite, cutting in that area to make it easier to clamp with one hand.

    vvqyoutube class=”vvqbox Picture YouTube preview The weight

    , video specifies that the Nexus 10 weighs about twice as his little brother. Actually the difference is 603 grams against 290 grams .


    Screen

    video is impossible to see very clearly the differences between the new Nexus Nexus 7 and 10 in terms of resolution , since YouTube compresses the video and detracts from the clarity. Yet today, the tablet manufactured by Samsung is one of the higher resolution devices market 2560 × 1600 , almost 300 dpi, while the Asus tablet reaches the standard full HD but go as far as his older brother, 1920 × 1200 , 323 dpi.

    However, the display of each of the two tablets may be better than the other depending on the aspects that seem important in each of the tasks they perform. For example, when viewing pictures, image featuring the Nexus 10 is more defined , however, the new Nexus 7 has brighter .


    Performance

    processor Nexus 7 is a Snapdragon S4 Pro quad core 1.5 GHz, while the Nexus 10 is a Exynos 5250 two cores at 1.7 GHz As mentioned ever more cores need not necessarily result in better performance. In fact, the tablet from Samsung has an excellent internal architecture and is very responsive .

    New Nexus Nexus 7 vs. 10

    The big difference between the teams is found in the GPU , where the tablet made by Asus stands over his opponent. In the video we can see for ourselves with images of Batman game. The size of the new Nexus 7 is also more appropriate and manageable for running games.


    Cameras

    The only substantial difference in terms of “number” is that the Nexus 10 has flash and the Nexus 7 no. Moreover, are equal 5Mpx each.

    However, the video camera ensures that new Nexus 7 offers better performance Real . Responds better at capturing the image and collects details.


    Autonomy

    Although the Nexus 10 has a larger battery, 9,000 mAh , the Nexus 7 lasts slightly longer, with 3,950 mAh , so says the person recording the video, according to his personal experience. The truth is that not surprising. The tablet manufactured by Samsung has more inches and more pixels to move, so it consumes more power, is the price we must pay for a quality screen so huge.


    Price

    Nexus price is always a factor extremely advantageous, to change, availability is serious problem. The new Nexus 7 cost 229 euros when you get to Europe, ie theoretically 28 or September 29. The truth is that experience tells us that Google Play is usually not too well manage sales of its devices in the first weeks, and that the stock is often scarce. Will have to see if this time things work better. Moreover, this 7-inch tablet offers by far the best value market price for its format.

    More or less we can say the Nexus 10 , which can be achieved by 399 euros , a very commendable considering what other equipment costing size and performance similar.

    Nexus July 2013, analysis - Engadget

    Nexus 7 class=”centro”/>

    June 27, 2012 . The Nexus family broadens horizons and go beyond smartphones. With seven-inch tablet, and in collaboration with Asus, Google aims to carve a niche with leading specifications and a price quite attractive.

    It’s been just over a year and after analyzing at the time the original 7 Nexus now we do the same with the 2013 model. Higher resolution on the screen, the rear chamber and a different chip in the interior. Google wants the Nexus remains a benchmark .


    Nexus 7 in 2013: few surprises, many advances and small errors

    When Google launched in June 2012 the Nexus 7 launches two messages: first have a reference device worth both manufacturers and developers to create tablet and other applications for them. A powerful hardware, still is, and a good example to follow .

    Nexus 7 class=”centro”/>

    On the other hand, wants to launch a competitive model in the ecosystem not only Android but ahead of the competition, more specifically Apple’s iPad Mini. They wanted to have a good device but also affordable. Despite having some drawbacks, the Nexus 7 performed well in this regard.

    year comes a new review. The leaks prior to his official presentation eliminated the element of surprise. But the steps that would give Google were obvious: a new version of Android (4.3), high-resolution screen and incidentally solve some of the complaints from users of the Nexus 7 as the lack of a rear camera.

    And so, while Nexus 7 still prepares his coming to Europe, leverages server has gone to the United States for the summer to get one of these new units. We took it home, started playing with it and after two weeks of use we bring our rather comprehensive analysis of a tablet that wants to reign in the seven-inch format.

    Design and finishing

    We take the tablet and the first thing that strikes us is the front finish. It maintains a bright display with reflections when off. Asus has changed the framework for a touch more black and unify design the Nexus 7, a success as the previous model silver frame was not particularly attractive.

    We turn and we find that it has changed the finish on the back. It is still as soft to the touch, but this time is a bit more slippery. Not to the point that it rolls down from the hands but enough to notice some slippage.

    Nexus 7 trasera

    More simple, understated and elegant. The camera is placed in a corner, in my opinion a mistake because it could be better in the center of the top. The side buttons are recognized without problems, the answer when pressed is good.

    relationship is perfect size and weight. Not too light nor particularly heavy. You take good with one hand and not have it in hand weary when reading or watching video. 299 grams in just 8.65 mm thick, a good job.

    design is simplified to unify all and feel that gives this new Nexus terminal is to be a high quality. However, we again turn it over and compare the two sides. Front and rear, the size of the frames in the first it seems the best choice.

    Nexus 7 Lateral

    aesthetic appreciation is on the front but the Nexus 7 still giving the feeling of being a toy . The screen is excellent, then talk about it, but sometimes seems less keeping their size as broad frameworks. Google could have taken better advantage of this.

    The speakers are located at the bottom rear. Small, with good quality, could have had more prominence but his position is correct. The microUSB port is found again at the bottom, in my opinion the most comfortable position for loading and continue using it.

    Nexus 7 class=”centro”/>

    This port also serves as SlimPort so we can use this system to connect to the TV with cable. The microSD card slot is again left out of play so we have to rely on the internal memory and files in the cloud.


    Screen

    At first glance, the main novelty of the Nexus 7. Google and Asus have heard: we want a high definition screen. The common denominator of high-end smartphones this year. Well, this has been: we have passed of 1280 × 800 pixels to 1900 × 1200 .

    Nexus 7 Pantalla

    noticeable jump as we take any other device with a lower resolution. Japan Display, a company that signs this component, has done a great job in terms of the sharpness of the screen both when reading and view images in high definition.

    Some users have been reporting problems with multipoint technology of the screen: problems in making certain gestures, slow response … Opinions are there. Personally, I have not noticed any problems in this regard.

    Nexus 7 class= pantalla” Off src=”http://img.xataka.com/2013/08/nexus7-13.jpg” gives many reflections but when we light hardly visible.

    The screen responds well and today is arguably the best in its size. A great work is accompanied by a tireless effort by Google to improve the look of Android. Perfect for use in any lighting condition, that it is a device made to carry around.

    Performance and battery

    Nexus

    processor 7 is definitely a case study. This is a Snapdragon S4 Pro of Qualcomm. A processor of the second half of 2012 has proven to give good results. What is the problem? That could have gotten the new Snapdragon 600.

    However everything is explained, to think of this particular Pro S4 is what could be understood as a compromise between the model last year and 600 this year. At least that has expressed Qualcomm and Google say the performance of this chip is excellent.

    Nexus 7 Minecraft

    Leaving aside

    this story, we must affirm and say that yes, the Nexus 7 with the S4 Pro offers excellent performance . Perhaps not the most punctuate device in the benchmark but the speed and fluidity that moves around and would want many manufacturers for their tablets.

    Everything is fluid, without frozen screens or strange errors. From fast transitions applications or demanding games. It behaves perfectly in all circumstances and is appreciated. Where if you have dropped a bit Google and Asus pedal with performance is on drums.

    We

    4325 mAh to 3950. A noticeable difference, together with other factors such as high-definition screen, make the battery last a little less . It’s the price you pay but Asus could have made an effort to get a little more amperage, but also have to see how it would have affected the final price.


    OS

    software level we find Android 4.3 factory. Yes, the version that comes standard, at least in the edition that is being distributed in the U.S., comes with a small bug in the camera app so is essential download the update as configure it.

    Nexus 7 Juegos

    done, we see that Google is doing great duties with its mobile operating system. In three years has achieved very important transition and has gone from having a slow system with many problems to create an experience that is not only enjoyable but also very functional.

    4.3 is a small leap from what is already offered Jelly Bean in the face of many users, but that does not mean it’s a totally efficient version. Yes, the best is coming when the end of the year, if the rumors are true, we will have a new version of Android with big changes.

    Speaking of applications, the experience is a bit bittersweet. It is true that increasing the number of apps optimized for tablets is higher. However, I still miss greatly missed unique applications , to give me options and services that I have on the phone.

    Nexus 7 Google Now

    is true that, for example, an Android tablet is very comfortable to play video, view photos, but leaving aside the multimedia aspect I have the feeling of being doubled applications and interfaces: read my Twitter timeline in Falcon Pro in the Note 2 and then I keep on the Nexus 7, with the same design, same story.

    And so with many other applications, all they do is to continue thinking I’m using a big phone instead of a tablet. This, of course, is not a problem in itself but the Nexus 7 is related to the tablet so that is a negative point.

    Nexus 7 class= src=”http://img.xataka.com/2013/08/nexus7-15.jpg” Spotify” Spotify, I do not use the same application on the smartphone

    House

    When I walk the streets and see tourists taking pictures with an iPad or a Samsung Galaxy Tab, I can not help but smile and look at them with some credulity. Really there are people who make your vacation photos with a tablet? And video too, forewarned.

    Nexus 7 Cámara

    I think we all agree that a tablet is not the best device to take pictures, why in part justified the lack of a rear camera on the Nexus 7 shirt. Still, many complained about his absence and Asus has decided to.

    is wonderful, do not expect to find a Sony Exmor RS but the quality is sufficient to capture images and recognize the different elements. The front performs well and is more than enough to make video calls without any problems.

    Nexus 7 Cámara

    Possibly the best seven-inch tablet of the moment, the opinion of Engadget

    Asus and Google have shown form a good tandem when creating seven-inch tablets. They did it with the first Nexus 7 and repeated this year with a device that improves amply what we saw. They listened to users and have been attentive to what competitors have done.

    No major artifacts or useless accessories, the new Nexus 7 is today-date that has signed this review-best seven-inch tablet. It is true that other models may excel more in certain features, such as the battery.

    Nexus 7 Tapatalk

    But overall , price and performance wins this model. A great job where the only drawbacks are the front frame, a battery something brief and a problem that affects the entire ecosystem of Android tablets: missing many apps yet.

    Asus Google and see if they behave well with Nexus 7 prices in Europe but, unless major surprise, will be one of the most competitive. Some are cheaper, yes, but none comes close to what this model offers. Again, the reference to seven inches. For now.
