Rival iPad Mini: Google Nexus tablet 7 arrives in Brazil for R $ 999 - Macworld Brazil

Device returns to stores after an interval of three months, but no one takes responsibility for the launch.

Google Nexus Tablet 7 returned to the domestic market early on Thursday. The device, which we consider in our analysis of the best Android tablets on the market appeared in the online shop at Wal-Mart for U.S. $ 999, a price much more affordable than the R $ 1,299 in the “launch” earlier in January this year .

Nexus 7 is a tablet equipped with a powerful quad-core processor Nvidia Tegra 3 1.2 GHz, and has an IPS LCD screen 7 “HD resolution, 1280 x 800 pixels. The version being sold by Wal-Mart has 16 GB of internal memory and does not have 3G. As a member of the Nexus family he runs a “clean” version of the Android operating system, currently 4.1 (now upgradeable to 4.2), and is first in line to receive future software updates, along with his siblings, and 4 Nexus smartphone Nexus tablet 10.

However, the iPad Mini, which has already been approved by Anatel, has no release date and price for sale in Brazil, according to a spokesperson from Apple. The tablet screen of 7.9 “is priced from $ 329 in the United States, which was released in October 2012.

Who is responsible?

ASUS official position is not to comment about the Nexus 7. And there was an announcement by Google, which leads us to believe that tablets are a lot individually imported by Wal-Mart or perhaps a return to the shelves of the batch placed temporarily on sale earlier this year. We could not contact the press office of Wal-Mart.

During the launch of the Nexus smartphone 4 in Brazil, in late March, Hugo Barra, VP of Android at Google, went on to say that the “release” of the previous tablet in Brazil was the result of a communication error between the Google and ASUS, which “will not happen again.”

According Hugo, the tablet was not released in Brazil because it would have been possible to arrive at a price that did justice to the product. In the U.S. it starts at $ 199, the version with 16 GB of internal memory.
