Nexus 7 It has already arrived in Spain and is causing fascination. We had received hundreds of rumors about the Google tablet prior to its US launch, and once it was on sale we learned much more about its features and capabilities. Nexus 7 is called to change the tablet market. We want to explain why.
Size: 7 inches
First of all, it stands out for its size. With Nexus 7 the 7 inches are fully settled and its suitability for these types of devices is no longer disputed. Samsung had tried, other minor brands too, and even Amazon with its Kindle Fire he was a great pioneer. With Nexus 7, consumers recognize the full viability of a 7-inch tablet that Apple and particularly Steve Jobs had discussed so much. So much so, that we will soon see a 7,85-inch Apple tablet, the iPad mini.
Price: low cost
Nexus 7 means having access to a special quality without having to sell a kidney. Consumers have been fed up with super table prices. In addition, those consumers who have already spent more than 500 euros on a tablet will take care of it like gold in cloth and it is difficult for them to buy another. Only consumers who have not yet taken the step and who prefer cheap tablets remain. Nexus 7 has little profit margin for Google, but it is that those of Mountain View consider that the business is not only in selling tablets.
Hardware: new standard for Android tablets
The price of 200 euros for a good tablet also sets a standard for quality in hardware. No tablet with less than two 1GHz cores and 1GB RAM will have nothing to do unless it is a gift. ARM multi-core processors are here to stay and it will also be important to have a good GPU for graphics management.
3G is no longer vital, Google knows that data rates are annoying and expensive and do not work well in all countries, and smartphones already fulfill that function of notifying by e-mail
Content
Google has forced its competitors to think more about content accessibility. And the price of the tablet is part of that affordability. If to buy applications, books, movies and games, first I have to spend more than 500 euros we already have a problem. Small content expenses don't hurt as much as exorbitant outlays. Amazon led the way with the Kindle Fire and, again, Google clinched it.
Games
Users of mobile devices and tablets download as many games or more than applications. Nexus 7 has a hardware Nvidia Ge Force GPU super powerful 12-core that ensures great graphics performance, added to its quad-core Tegra 3 CPU.
The quality, in terms of resolution, of the screen also contributes to greater enjoyment, of course.
In addition, the virtual button layout in some games has an identical proportion to that of many console controllers. The status and menu bars never bother us when we are playing.
Specialization. A tablet for everything
Nexus 7 is a tablet to enjoy content and not for large tasks, but this is not what we would say transcendent for the tablet market. What this tablet indicates is that a good-for-all tablet is often very expensive and impractical. Therefore, we see how the market is taking specialist tablets. The hybrid tablets are clearly focused on office work and business professionals, where Asus is leading the way and Microsoft is likely to break into the rough with Surface and Windows 8 operating systems and their classic office applications. Samsung is the queen of tablets for creative professionals with its Galaxy Note series. We have seen how they come out too gaming tablets like WikiPad and Archos GamePad.
Build quality: durability
Nexus 7 is a very tough tablet. Most tend to die on the screen. The glass Corning glass Nexus 7 makes it very difficult to load or grate it. A wearable device carries risks and they need to be anticipated. The tablets with a minimalist design and ultra-polished finishes are very nice, yes, but not very resistant. You can appreciate its hardness in this crash and accident test. Casio will soon release working tablets in which the robustness and durability they are flag. Tablets are expensive items and the dislikes are in proportion.
Simplicity
Nexus 7 has been the banner of the new Android 4.1 Jelly Bean operating system that makes operating the tablet much easier. In addition, Google applications also help in that feeling. But it should be noted that in its communication and advertising campaign there was always a pedagogical tone that showed us that tablets can be simply and unpretentious in life and that they are used for things related to our daily lives.
