While the Nexus 7 offers nothing to consumers that can"t be found elsewhere - save for Jelly Bean - it offers a number of refinements to the Android tablet experience in terms of both software and hardware. And it does it all at a sub-$200 price point that is meant to dethrone Amazon"s Kindle Fire as the reigning Android tablet of choice for consumers.
With specs like a quad-core processor and a 1280 x 800 pixel display, that seems possible and likely.
From a hardware perspective, the Google Nexus 7 by Asus is not very different from existing Android tablets, like the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. It measures 198.5mm x 120mm x 10.45mm (7.8in x 4.7in x .4in) in size, weighs 340g (12.0oz), and features a 7-inch ~IPS display that is protected by scratch-resistant glass.
Unlike most other 7-inch tablets, though, Google"s low cost flagship tablet offers users a fairly dense 1280 x 800 pixel grid to gaze upon. It"s not as sharp as an Apple Retina display, but it"s very crisp indeed, and it is easy to view both indoors and outdoors alike.
