Nexus 7 – 6 Things to Know (Before Buying)

What does it offer newer 7 inches tablet with Google? Let us see what has changed. And what does not. Lighter, thinner, faster, more defined with a screen, but also a bit more expensive than the previous one: the evolution of the second Android tablet Google Nexus 7 has just made its debut overseas. In our country will arrive in the fall, at a price that will be around $270.

Who does not already have a Nexus 7, a tablet or equivalent, is wondering: is it worth to wait and buy the new or better fall back on the current model, perhaps taking advantage of a special offer?

• What are the major differences between the two?
• What essential features of the new model?

We try to answer these and other questions with six points that explain what changes and what does not.

1. ) A lot more power and double the memory. The new tablet has not only a quad-core CPU with newer 200 MHz more than the previous one, but also the GPU, an Adreno 320 is newer and capable, and 1 GB of RAM memory is 2GB. This means more responsiveness when playing video games graphically complex, but also when browsing the web and in the enjoyment and audio and video production, and increased longevity of the device over the years.

2. ) sharper screen and a much higher resolution. It goes from 1280 x 800 pixels and a density of 216 ppi to 1920 x 1200 at 323 PPI and then texts, images, videos and animations will be sharper and more detailed. It is to be seen how it will be perceived (and useful) the difference seen that the sizes of the display are unchanged and the technical features of the 2012 model are highly respected.

3. ) At the 1.2 megapixel front camera the new Nexus 7 adds a rear 5-megapixel camera. We are far from the goals (and convenience) of the latest generation of smartphones, but now you can finally take pictures, scans and videos of decent quality and not just chat and self-portraits poor.

4. ) The battery life is improved, but only slightly. The designers of Asus and Google, unfortunately, have opted for a (slight) reduction in thickness and weight at the expense of battery, which has a capacity of 4,325 mAh dropped to 3,950 mAh. Thanks to a CPU very fuel efficient. The result is still good, and you go from eight hours to nine hours. Precisely, because of these results, Google has probably lost the opportunity to make the Nexus 7 a leap, making it a little less graceful but much more palatable for those more than ten-hour battery life (or productivity).

5. ) The capacity remains unchanged, and it’s always 16 and 32 GB as in the current model. It is a choice dictated by the wish to maintain probably low (and competitive) price, but it should be pointed out that compared to a year-ago Google Play now offers so much content and app. Why not put the user in a position to download and purchase in greater peace of mind? You could (and perhaps should) be started directly from GB 32 or at least offer a 64GB model.

6. ) On the back, there are speakers ” dual-stereo”. For those who use the tablet exclusively with headphones does not change anything, but it should be pointed out that the audio side, the new Nexus 7 hours should not have anything to envy to Dolby Digital Plus the Amazon Kindle Fire HD or Beats Audio technology adopted by HP Slate 7 “.
