We review the qualities of what may be the two more leading tablets currently: Nexus 7, the brand new Google tablet, sold out within days of going on sale and iPad, the device that started the tablet fever, a prominent market leader at the moment, although it is already beginning to speculate that it will not be for long.
Nexus 7 yet has not arrived in Spain, but could do it soon; its price and the fact that Google is behind the project; as well as that the device runs with the spearhead of the Android system, 4.1 Jelly Bean, make this device already postulate as the iPad's main competitor. However, it is interesting to pay more attention to what each of the tablets offers us.
Screen: iPad here clearly wins the game. Not only for him size (9,72 '' vs. 7 '') also because the resolution of the retina display iPad is far superior. Google, for its part, could be planning the launch of a 10-inch tablet, but until that happens, the performance of its device in this field is lower.
Connectivity. IPad wins again. Nexus 7 only connects via WiFI, while iPad contemplates a much greater range of possibilities (Wifi, 3G, 4G, LTE).
Operating system. Here there is a tie. The Android market enjoys a increased fizz and a good part of its applications are free. In addition, with Jelly Bean there is no app that you cannot put in Nexus. As for iPad, the Quality Control of its applications is noticeably better; so this field is decided based on the tastes of each user.
Security. iPad wins. Although Jelly Bean has improved a lot in this regard, Android continues to have problems with the malware and the data theft. Apple, at the moment, there is nothing to reproach him in this area.
Quality and duration. iPad takes the victory again. The materials and controls that iPad is manufactured with are of higher quality and the tablet is better finished, without a doubt. In addition, its duration is greater. Although with some limitations, there are still people who use the first models of 2010. On the contrary, Android systems of two years ago are practically obsolete.
