Although it is not left for the presentation of the new generation of the Nexus 7, it is quite likely that Google do not discard the current model definitively but sell it at a lower price (some sources point to a price of 150 euros), so it may still be interesting to put your Technical specifications with those of the new compact tablets, in this case, the brand new Galaxy Tab 3 7.0. Can the new compact tablet Samsung become a major rival for the popular tablet Google?
Designer
Design-wise, they are two quite different tablets. The Galaxy Tab 3 has the characteristic design of many of the tablets Samsung, very inspired by that of their smartphones, with very rounded corners and quite narrow frames. At the moment, the Nexus 7 you can only get in black and the tablet of Samsung en white, although it is expected that in the near future we will be able to see it in other colors (black, red and gray have been spoken of).
As for the dimensions, despite the fact that the screen of both tablets are the same size, it seems that the one of Samsung it will be less long18,8 cm against 19,9 cm), narrower (11,1 cm against 12 cm) and less thick (0,99 cm against 10,5 cm). The Galaxy Tab 3 it will also be somewhat lighter (302 gr against 340 gr).
Screen
Although the screen size is the same, 7 inches, there are noticeable differences in the section on resolution, that is of 1280 x 800 in the case of Nexus 7 and 1024 x 600 in the one of the Galaxy Tab 3, in other words, PPI 216 y PPI 169, respectively. For now, we will have to wait for the first screen tests for the tablet of Samsung to check its quality in other important sections such as brightness or viewing angles.
Unlimited
Although the first benchmarks point to the Galaxy Tab 3 would have good performance (including graphics processing as well), the Nexus 7 has superior characteristics in terms of processor, with a Integra 3 de quad core a 1,2 GHz in front of one of dual core a 1,2 GHz for tablet Samsung. Regarding the RAM memory, absolute tie between both devices, with 1 GB each.
Operating System
In this section, the Nexus 7 you will always have an advantage, logically. For starters, the tablet Google has already available Android 4.2.2While Galaxy Tab 3 will be sold with Android 4.1, and it will probably take some time to get the latest versions of Jelly BeanWhile Nexus 7 you will receive all the updates quickly.
Storage capacity
Also in terms of storage capacity the Nexus 7 appears superior a priori: the tablet Google doubles the available memory, being able to get with 16 or 32 GBWhile Galaxy Tab 3 would arrive with 8 or 16 GB. However, an important point in favor of the tablet Samsung is that it will have a card slot micro-SD (until 64 GB), which in the end means the possibility of having more storage capacity than with either of the two models of Nexus 7.
Battery
The battery of the two tablets have similar capacities, although the Nexus 7 is slightly higher: 4325 mAh for tablet Google y 4000 mAh for that of Samsung. However, in this case too, we will have to wait for the autonomy tests that can be carried out when the Galaxy Tab 3 hit the shops to see what the actual battery life is.
Cameras
As you already know, one of the characteristics of Nexus 7 is to have a single front camera, 1,2 SM. For those who are important to have a rear camera to take pictures with their tablet, however, the Galaxy Tab 3 would have an advantage, since in addition to the front camera of 1,3 SM and another on the back of 3 SM.
Connectivity
Although it took a while for the version to arrive 3G, Nexus 7 you can already get so much with WiFi connection only, as with mobile connection too. The Galaxy Tab 3 it is expected that it can also be purchased with both modalities. The two tablets also have Bluetooth 3.0.
Price
El price can be a determining factor in deciding between the two tablets and, although we are still awaiting confirmation of which will be the Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 by Samsung, it seems complicated that it can surprise us with one inferior to that of the Nexus 7, especially if after the presentation of the new generation, this model sees its price lowered, as some leaks point out, to 150 euros. We will be attentive to keep you informed about it.
