what's up everyone John rhett endure from TechnoBuffalo here than I'm boxing to Google's Android tablet Savior this is he just announced Nexus 7 made by Asus this guy is rockin in videos quad-core Tegra 3 got a 7-inch display the 1280 by 800 resolution a Giga RAM and a lot of hope and a lot of hype let's go ahead open this box up dig in let's see what it looks like all right so here we've got the box with the Nexus branding and kind of cool they made the bezel look like a seven next to seven on the side on the back made for google play full-fledged Android tablets and pure Google Nexus 7 features a powerful quad-core processor front-facing camera and vivid seven inch HD display so you can play your favorite games video chat and watch videos in stunning clarity let's go ahead and slide off the sheath and we've got a black box Google will bestowed the eight gigabyte version on us which will retail for $199 and ship sometime in the middle of July if you want to pick up a 16 gigabyte version it's gonna set you back about an extra 50 bucks at two hundred and forty nine dollars go ahead and open this up cause another sneaky piece of tape on the side I have not seen one of these yet in person haven't held one this is one of the devices that was given out to attendees at Google i/o open oh there we go alright so there is the tablet sitting nicely in its little sheath there it is running and will ship with Android 4.1 jelly bean off it was extremely light we've got a version in white which I believe I was only made available to Google i/o attendees a black should be what initially ships at retail push it off to the side for just a moment see what else we're going to have in the box alright in box number one we have books warranty information we have a sinking cable and that is the microUSB variety it's a pretty standard I'm guessing you've got a wall charger kind of exactly what we have Asus brand a wall charger with that USB port that looks to be about it and that's all we have in the box let's take a look at the reason everybody is here this is the Nexus 7 off all the plastic very satisfying noise and open up new look if that plastic whooshing sound so first blush so on first blush this back looks to be kind of shiny plastic actually I serve a soft touch feel to it big Nexus logo a little smaller Asus branding right there from a dimension standpoint seven point eight inches by four point seven inches by a pretty thin point four inches and this whole thing weighs eleven point nine ounces you go ahead and assume I can find a power button and turn it on while we're talking there we go lives right there on the right hand side this display which is now booting up for us is seven inches as a resolution of 1280 by 800 that's an HD display that's the 216 PPI cuz you're doing the math at home it is a backlit IPS display take a look at the jellybeans launch sequence here battery it's a 4325 milliamp affair giving you about eight hours of usage it's a Tegra 3 processor so it's quad core clocked at about one point three gigahertz on the front we have a 1.2 megapixel camera for all your video chatting needs it also has NFC built in here so you can do your Android Beam we're gonna get a twenty five dollar credit to the Play Store and Transformers Dark of the Moon going to be in here as well and it's going to be a cover also available as well the GPU is a twelve core GPU what we're not gonna have in here though is any sort of micro SD storage let's take a quick look or around the device on the left hand side really nothing except for a noise cancelling microphone port and four pins for presumably some sort of dock connector maybe something in the car or charging that will be coming soon on the right hand side we've got power and lock sort of hidden off there and volume rocker up and down on the top nothing but we do have another noise cancelling microphone on the bottom that's where you are charged in Singapore it's going to live and 3.5 millimeter headset jack let me go ahead and run through and do all the start-up stuff here go take a real quick look at the home screen of Android 4.1 jelly bean on the Nexus 7 alright so here is a new home screen the first thing you're going to notice is Google Chrome is now the official browser of choice of Android is now out of beta let's go ahead and take a look at applications you can see it's gonna come standard on here mostly usual stuff we got the new currents on there the new YouTube widgets pretty much the same as Ice Cream Sandwich nothing really noticeably different there let's go ahead and take a look at settings and just to show that this is indeed running a newfangled version of Android go ahead and go down to the bottom about the tablet and there it is Android 4.1 it looks like a phone operating system but the phone and tablet OS is have kind of merged here a so it should be very familiar I've got the soft touch bottom a soft buttons at the bottom as well so no capacitive home buttons or anything it's all standard Android here now go ahead and swipe those things off similar to what we saw introduced with Ice Cream Sandwich pull this down if I had any notifications they would show up there and they would be new fangled fancy notifications so I'm gonna go ahead and use this tablet for a little while try and use it for at least three days and we'll come back with our full review of the Nexus 7 what do you guys think is this the tablet that you've been waiting for a price point under 200 bucks it's certainly very competitive perhaps its biggest competitor is this guy this is the Amazon Kindle Fire and putting these two next to each other at least front to front they look very similar however you see a big difference when you take them and make a tablet sandwich the tapered edges here on the Nexus 7 really make it feel thinner and it certainly feels noticeably lighter than the Kindle Fire but we're probably only a month or so away from the Kindle Fire 2 debuting so very interesting to see what Amazon does to compete now with the Nexus 7 very excited to take a further look at this guy and use it as my daily tablet get it hooked up to the Nexus Q and see how everything works any questions or things you want to see about this sure to leave your comments down below John Rhett endure from TechnoBuffalo and I'll see you next video buh-bye you
