San Francisco: Rumours became reality when Google announced its new tablet, Nexus 7, at Google I/O, as well as Jelly Bean (Android version 4.1).
The $199 tablet weighs 12 ounces, has a 7-inch screen unlike the 10-inch Apple iPad, and has up to 300 hours of standby time.
“It’s built for Google Play. It’s running Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. And here it is,” said Hugo Barra, director of product management for Android, showing off the new tablet for the first time, FoxNews.com reported.
The Nexus, which was built for the company by Asus, has a 1,280 x 800 display, a chipset from nVidia with a quad-core CPU, and an eye-popping 12-core graphics processor.
The device is available for pre-orders today starting at $199, Barra said, and will ship in Mid-July. It comes with a $25 coupon for the Google Play store as well.
