lot of people had it in for Google from the very beginning. The company started off as the most popular and highly relied upon search engine in the web. It had various search functions that other engines did not have, algorithms far more sophisticated than others, as well as quality online hosted services (Gmail, GTalk, Google Drive, etc.) that are trusted by billions of users. So when the company expressed its desire to join the mobile OS development field and butt heads with Apple’s iOS, a lot of people tried to talk the idea down. Yet somehow, Android has not only hit it big-but it has also overtaken iOS in terms of worldwide sales.
Then Google expressed its desire to take on something else-developing their own electronic devices in the form of the Nexus products. There were even more misgivings now. Sure, Google could develop an OS, but what about an electronic device? As it turned out Google hit the ground running with Nexus 7, a 7-inch tablet. For its price and size, everyone quickly labeled it as a “budget” tablet, along the ranks of the Kindle Fire and other smaller tablets that were smaller than, but not quite as powerful as, the larger iPads and Galaxy Tabs. But when Nexus 7 was finally put to the test, it proved itself as a worthy adversary even to the big tablets.
Nexus 7 with Mobile is Google’s A-Game
People shared what they thought of the Nexus after the initial trial they managed to get through developer meets and releases. But as of now, the Nexus 7 is officially available to the public in the Google Play store. Priced at a very reasonable 299USD, and with the kind of performance that so many of the technology experts have been lauding, this may in fact be Google’s declaration of war. The fact that the device is priced this way without compromising performance and the reliability of the Android OS (it runs on the latest Jellybean), this is but the opening salvo to butting heads with the big kids in the playground, Apple and Samsung.
What it can offer
People were already raving about it while it was wi-fi only. But now that the Nexus 7 is officially with mobile capability, it is the device to get for users eagerly awaiting a competitive tablet for half the iPad’s price. Google has made sure its products are meshed perfectly into the usage of the devices. And even apps from third parties (game apps, voip provider apps, productivity apps) work flawlessly. The processing speed is more than impressive, and the 32GB storage it carries is often more than enough for most users.
Using the Nexus actively, especially on the go, with its mobile internet connection allows users to realize the full power of the Nexus 7. For its price, and when compared against the features and performance of even the big-league 10-inch tablets, the Nexus 7 is a steal. Google is poised to wage war.
