On Wednesday, 27-2012, Google launched its Nexus 7 Tablet giving market a new competition. And when a new product is launched they come with new specifications. Lets have a look what Nexus 7 has to offer and what exactly some of the specifications mean, which can help you to make a better choice before buying a tablet: |
Price: - $199 for the 8GB model and $249 for the 16GB model which is quite competitive as compared to Kindle fire with price of $199 and Samsung Galaxy tab 2 with around $249 , gives Google Nexus a good edge in the tablet market.
Manufacturer: - Asus, and the Nexus 7 Tablet is using an Android-based tablet platform code named Kai. Nvidia designed the Kai platform for manufacturers to create a competitive tablet at consumer-friendly pricing.
· SCREEN:
§ 7” 1280x800 HD display (216 ppi): Pixels per inch (PPI) or pixel density is a measurement of the resolution of
devices.
§ Back-lit IPS display: In-Plane Switching (IPS) is an LCD technology,
developed to correct the poor viewing angles and color problems that LCDs had. Other LCD
technologies tend to have narrower viewing angles, especially in the vertical
direction.
§ Scratch-resistant Corning glass: At 0.1
millimeters thin, Corning’s brand new Willow glass is as thin as the finest
human hair -- and will makes those smartphone sandwiches as much as 7 times
thinner.
§ 1.2MP front-facing
camera
WEIGHT:
§ 340 grams
MEMORY:
§ 8 or 16 GB internal storage
§ 1 GB RAM
· BATTERY:
§ 4325 mAh (Up to 8 hours of active use): An ampere-houris a unit of electric charge, with sub-units milliampere-hour (mAh) and milliampere second(mAs). One ampere-hour is equal to 3600 coulombs (ampere-seconds), the electric charge transferred by a
steady current of one ampere for one hour
CPU:
§ Quad-core Tegra 3 processor: Tegra is a
system on a chip (SoC) series developed by Nvidia for mobile devices such as
smartphones, personal digital assistants, and mobile Internet devices. The Tegra 3 includes a fifth "companion" core. The
companion core is manufactured with a special low power silicon process that
uses less power at low clock rate but does not scale well to high clock rates;
hence it is limited to 500 MHz. The goal is for a tablet to be able to
power down all the normal cores and run on only the companion core, using
comparatively little power, during standby mode or when otherwise
underutilizing the CPU.
SIZE:
§ 198.5 x 120 x 10.45mm
WIRELESS:
§ WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
§ Bluetooth
· USB:
§ Micro USB
OS:
§ Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean)
FEATURES:
§ Microphone
§ NFC
(Android Beam): Beam is
a capability that enables just about any type of proximity-based interaction.
It means you just touch your smartphone to another smartphone or tablet to
transfer files, Web site links, YouTube videos, links to apps, maps and
directions -- or just about anything else you can think of. In order to engage
Beam, you need a phone with near
field communication (NFC)
capabilities.
§ Accelerometer: To calculate our device's orientation
§ GPS
§ Magnetometer: Embedded
in mobile devices to permit touchless 3D interaction. Their interaction
framework, tracks changes to the magnetic field around a cellphone to identify
different gestures made by a hand holding or wearing a magnet.
§ Gyroscope: A device for measuring or maintaining
orientation, based on the principles of angular momentum.
I hope, the specifications description will be of some advantage to you.
