There had been longer delays, wrong information being circulated and goof-ups. For all these days and weeks only the 16GB variant of the tablet was available, especially in India. Now very soon even the 32GB variant will also be available.

Asus manufactures the Nexus 7 tablets for Google. The device was released all across the world in the month of July last year. Until it saw the Indian shores, November had already dawned. However, the gadget was taken off the market almost immediately.

The reason? The extremely high price. Nexus 7 was priced at Rs. 19,981, which is almost similar to the cost of the iPad Mini. Through the Google Play Store, Google had started the sales of the tablet. The price of a 16GB variant with only Wi-Fi comes at a decent price of Rs. 15,999.

This automatically makes it one of the best tablets on budget in India. The good thing is that it comes close on the heels of Mr. EricSchmidt’s visit to India, who is the chairman of the internet giant.

Google Nexus 7 will be launched in India in November

It will not be before the month of November when Google Nexus actually reaches India. The same was confirmed at a press even in Bangalore. The news was also brought out by NDTV Gadgets. If you are curious to know the price, we will have to say sorry. There is yet no word, no official word, on the price tag of the Google gadget.

There were some reports that talked about the gadget being launched in India after September. The press even held in Bangalore yesterday – Tuesday, September 18, both Google and Asus had verified that launching the Google Nexus would not be possible before September.

The gadget will give a tough competition to Apple’s iPad. That is not all. The cool gadget from Google would also make life difficult for the Kindle Fire from the house of Amazon. To give competition to these two companies, Google might have a competitive price tag.

The Google Nexus 7 will come in two storage options – 8GB and 16GB. It is expected that the 8GB storage device might cost around $199 and the 16GB storage model will have a price tag of $249. The device will have quality hardware to add to the positive side of the features.

The dimensions of the tablet are 198.5mm X 120mm X 10.5mm and has a weight of 340 g. The tablet will run on Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean).
