If last year the tablet sector began to heat up thanks in large part to the incursion of Google with your first Nexus 7, this 2013 the sector may suffer another important 'tumble' through a new significant drop in the price range. Reuters confirms that the next generation of Nexus 7 It will arrive in July and that, although it has not yet been decided, the Mountain Viewers could lower the device to 150 euros to try to beat their toughest rivals, the iPad mini and Kindle Fire HD.
If a few weeks ago we published that, perhaps the new generation of Nexus 7, with screen Full HD and processor Qualcomm, it would go up a bit its price In exchange for significantly improving performance on some parcels, Reuters points to the opposite. Google He has not decided yet, but he is seriously considering a downgrade of his 7-inch tablet to present a competitive price to a hypothetical Kindle Fire HD de $99 and the second generation of iPad mini with Retina display.
Precisely these two competitors are the ones that can most concern those of Mountain View, not only for the enormous popularity of franchises, also at the ecosystem level. In the case of iPad mini it's obvious, Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), you are trying to crowd out services Google with own alternatives. AmazonHowever, it represents an even greater danger since it offers a genre of undoubted quality at an ultra-competitive price, and also has its own application store with which Google can't get too much out of a Kindle Fire which, despite everything, works with Android.
However, it is not specified whether the $150 It would be a renewed version of the current generation or a full-fledged second-generation team. What is said is that this time the initial stock will be up to the task, since Asus handles a number of shipments between 6 and 8 million units. If finally the Nexus 7 FullHD goes on sale in July, we may be able to attend its official presentation during the developer event of Google which will take place next May, as planned.
We will be attentive to any news.
