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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
