Google Unveils New Nexus 4, 7 & 10
In a blog post published on Monday afternoon (in lieu of a media event scrapped by Hurricane Sandy), Google announced two new Nexus devices, including the new Nexus smartphone, called the Nexus 4, and a 10-inch Nexus tablet called the Nexus 10. The company also announced that it has refreshed and updated its popular 7-inch Nexus 7 tablets, lowering the prices for higher storage options and adding options for mobile data.
All in all, it’s three new “Nexus” devices, in three new product categories, for Google going into one of the busiest times of the year for tech shopping: The Nexus 4 will battle the iPhone 5 and Galaxy S3; the Nexus 7 will battle the iPad mini and Kindle Fire; and the Nexus 10 will battle the new iPad and Microsoft Surface in what will surely be one of the most rich and fruitful times to be a tech buyer in some time.
The Nexus line by Google, you may know, features gadgets built by Google in conjunction with another hardware maker and generally features the latest edition of Android without any software “skins” added on top. It is pure Android, and Google’s chance to show device manufacturers what an Android device can look like and do.
