Google has unveiled a new tablet set to seriously challenge Apple’s iPad mini.
The new Nexus 7 is built by Asus and has a seven-inch, 1980x1200 display - the world's highest resolution screen - that offers almost double the pixels per inch than the iPad mini despite being around £100 cheaper.It also has a 5MP rear-facing camera for the first time, and a faster 1.5Ghz processor compared to the first-generation Nexus 7 device.
The new Nexus 7 is the first gadget to be shipped on an updated version of Google's Jelly Bean operating system, Android 4.3, and will come in three models: 16GB Wi-Fi for £149 ($229), 32GB Wi-Fi for £175 ($269) and a 64GB LTE model that costs £227 ($349).
All three devices will go on sale in the U.S from 30 July and across Europe in 'the coming weeks.'
