Google Nexus 7 with 3G, 32GB storage launched in India

Taiwanese manufacturer Asus has launched the 32GB variant of Google Nexus 7 tablet in India just a week after the search giant rolled out the 16GB iteration of the device in the country. This new version of the tablet comes in Wi-Fi as well as Wi-Fi+3G variants, whereas the model being sold via Google Play Store does not support mobile data.

Asus has priced the Wi-Fi-only variant of Nexus 7 at Rs 18,999, while the Wi-Fi+3G model costs Rs 21,999.

Manufactured by Asus, Google Nexus 7 features a 7-inch IPS screen. This tablet is powered by a 1.2GHz quad-core processor with 1GB RAM and runs on Android 4.1, upgradable to Android 4.2. When it comes to connectivity, this tablet can access the internet only via Wi-Fi as well as cellular data (optional), while other data transfer options include Bluetooth, NFC and microUSB. Google Nexus 7 has no rear camera, while a 1.2MP camera is placed in the front.

Apple iPad mini with 16GB storage capacity and no 3G data compatibility costs Rs 21,990 in India. The 32GB iPad mini with Wi-Fi as well as mobile data is priced at Rs 35,900 in the country. Another Nexus 7 rival is Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0, which has been unveiled in the country but is yet to hit the shelves. Its price is not known as of now.
