Following global trends, search giant Google decided to sell its own tablets. It is expected that the production of new items will be dealt with by Asus under a contract with Google. The first devices will be available in mid-2012. Buyers are eagerly awaiting the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the technical innovation.
Google has introduced the first tablets that come under this brand. Google is launching one of the most inexpensive gadgets in its class for the first time. Most likely, a cheaper tablet from global manufacturers is currently not available. However, the company is unlikely to be able to maintain the tablet's competitive advantages for a long time.
Most of the major tablet manufacturers in this class are working hard to update the range of models, so Google has to act in a highly competitive environment. However, until now, no one has been able to release a similar device in this price category. The Nexus boasts a more powerful processor and higher screen resolution.
The basic Google Nexus device will have a 7-inch screen, a quad-core processor, a 1, 2 megapixel front-facing camera and 8 GB of memory. The tablet is supposed to be equipped with the Android 4.0 operating system. The estimated cost of the tablet will be $ 200, and the model with 16 GB memory will cost $ 250. The new product will be available in the United States at the end of July 2012 in the Google Play online store. A little later, the base model with 16GB of storage will hit the UK retail chain. In Russia, such a tablet can cost about 10 thousand rubles. - experts say.
Google plans to present a new tablet back in May 2012, but the developers in the course of work had complaints about the high price and the final design of the device. In addition, additional hardware and software optimization was required. Therefore, the release of the tablet was postponed to July 2012. The first batch of tablets from Google will be about 600 thousand devices, but in 2012 the company plans to sell at least 2 million Nexus tablets.
