Google Nexus 7: Technical Specifications, Pros and Cons



Google has announced its new 7 inch tablet Nexus 7 which is manufactured by ASUS. The tablet was the first device to ship with Android 4.1 version, nicknamed "Jelly Bean".

This tablet is amazing without any doubt in terms of its features. But what amazes more is its low price.
Although the market is flooded with Android slates in all prices and sizes, very few have captured the public's imagination. Nexus 7 is the first tablet launched under Google's own Nexus brand. This $199, 7-inch slate cuts very few corners given its aggressive price, packing a powerful quad-core Tegra 3 CPU, a bright high-resolution screen and the company's new Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system. Add in an attractive, light-weight design and Google's helpful new voice-driven search app and you have the best 7-inch tablet, a no-brainer purchase for media consumption, gaming and more on the go.
