The
new Nexus 7, Google’s answer to the iPad Mini, is now on sale in the UK
– and it claims to be the world’s highest resolution tablet. The tablet
has also been released in the US, Canada, France, Germany and Japan.
The original version of Google’s tablet
was launched last year. Since then the device has been slimmed down and
given a number of extra features. The new device features wireless
charging, 4G connectivity and a screen that offers 323 pixels per inch.
Google has claimed the screen made the
next generation Nexus 7 the world’s highest resolution tablet, comparing
favourably to the iPad’s Retina Display, which offers 264 pixels per
inch. Both models offer higher resolutions than most users can perceive.
The company said it could offer up to 10
hours of battery life, and that its 1.5GHz processor was 80 per cent
faster than the original model. Memory has been doubled to 2GB, and it
also features wireless charging, the latest version of Bluetooth for
compatibility with wearable technologies such as watches, and NFC.
The 144 x 200 x 9.15mm tablet is lighter
than its predecessor, at 299g with Wi-fi and 310g with 4G LTE. The 1920
x 1200 HD display also comes with 5MP rear and 1.2MP front cameras, as
well as dual stereo speakers. The device is also the first to feature
the new version of Android, 4.3, which includes individual user profiles
which can be restricted so that, for instance, children cannot see
in-app purchasing options that could land their parents with huge bills.
