The most anticipated Google event was scheduled on October 29th. But unfortunately they had to cancel off it due to extreme weather conditions caused by super storm Sandy. This disappointed worldwide android lovers who were looking forward to witness a great event.
With all these distractions Google decided to give a good reason for Android lovers to be happy. They officially released the next Nexus family online, through their official web site. If you visit Google Nexus website, you will be able to see 3 brand new nexus devices, Nexus 4, Nexus 7 and Nexus 10. They have great branding, great performance as well as Great price tag.
Let’s take a closer look in to new and complete Nexus family.
New Nexus Devices
Nexus 4
This is the most anticipated, most rumored and most leacked device in Nexus family. This comes out as a successor to previous Galaxy Nexus. Manufacturing partner has changed from Samsung to LG. The device has a great design, great hardware configuration and latest Android 4.2 as expected. Price tag is way lower than expected and it’s only $299 for 8GB model and $349 for 16GB Model.
Nexus 7
They have discontinued 8GB version of Nexus 7, a wise move. Now you can buy 16/32GB models. Pricing is same as previous 2 models, only re assigned to new upgraded models. Other than storage, all the other specifications are same as before.
There is a new member in Nexus 7 line up which is a HSDPA enabled device. This was one of the major drawbacks in Nexus tabs and now it’s been solved. You can enjoy data connectivity on the go without depending on Wi-fi hotspots and tethering. Its price tag is $299, again amazingly low.
Nexus 10
This is the biggest surprise in this product launch. Nexus 10 tab manufactured by Samsung combining many of new technologies such as cortex A15 CPU, Exynos chipset and ultra sharp 10 inch 2K display. (2560x1600px / 300ppi) Price tag is $399 for 16GB model and $499 for 32GB model.
This is a device worth taking a better and closer look. A detailed analysis of Nexus 10 will come up soon.
Wrapping Up
One of the major problems Android OS has is, its fragmentation. Users have to wait till manufactures release their updates after all the UI customization. So most of the Android lovers started moving toward Nexus branded device with pure Android. In my pocket I have a Galaxy Nexus.
Galaxy Nexus is a complete mobile handset, but with tablets it’s not the case. Nexus 7 was ultra portable, but there was no HSDPA enabled model. In the case you like to buy a 10 inch tablet, there was no option in Nexus line up.
Now all those problems have been solved. You have a further upgraded Nexus 4 Smartphone, HSDPA enabled Nexus 7 tab and Nexus 10 with massive screen as well. All those devices make a complete family. It’s well branded, well promoted, at the same time well configured.
Finally all those devices have amazingly, unbelievably low price tags. This will be a scary competition to other device manufactures, mainly for Apple. Best part here is lower price tag doesn’t make them cheap devices. They have the best hardware and software configuration you can find in the market.
All those facts show me signs of Nexus branded Android devices dominating the world in near future.
