Yesterday, we found out some more information about Google’s new Android tablet. The device is expected to be unveiled at Google’s I/O developer conference, which takes place next week between the 27th and 29th of June.
Now, according to a recent report from Digitimes, the Asus Nexus 7 tablet will be priced at $199.99, and the device will apparently go on sale in July. The $199 price tag is something we have heard previously, and it positions the Nexus 7 as a strong competitor in the budget tablet market.
Specifications and Features
The report says that the Asus Nexus 7 will be a WiFi-only device, which means it will not support cellular connectivity. This is a common feature in budget tablets, as it helps keep the cost down. The device will come with a front-facing camera for video chat, but there will be no rear-facing camera. This decision might be aimed at reducing costs and focusing on the most commonly used features. However, personally, I think Google’s Nexus tablet will come with two cameras, as dual cameras have become a standard feature in most modern tablets.
The Nexus 7 is expected to feature a 7-inch display, which is a popular size for tablets as it offers a good balance between portability and screen real estate. The device is also rumored to be powered by a quad-core processor, which would provide ample performance for most tasks, including web browsing, media consumption, and gaming.
Market Position and Competition
The $199 price point is particularly interesting as it places the Nexus 7 in direct competition with other budget tablets, such as Amazon’s Kindle Fire. The Kindle Fire has been quite successful in the budget tablet market, and it will be interesting to see how the Nexus 7 compares in terms of performance, features, and user experience.
One of the key advantages of the Nexus 7 could be its integration with Google’s ecosystem. The tablet is expected to run the latest version of Android, which would provide users with access to the Google Play Store and a wide range of apps and services. Additionally, being a Nexus device, it is likely to receive timely updates directly from Google, ensuring that users have access to the latest features and security patches.
We should have some more information next week when the Google Asus Nexus 7 is unveiled at Google’s I/O developer conference. This event is highly anticipated, and it is expected that Google will showcase not only the Nexus 7 but also other new products and services.

With its competitive pricing, solid specifications, and integration with Google’s ecosystem, it has the potential to be a popular choice among consumers. We look forward to learning more about the device at the upcoming Google I/O developer conference.
