hey what's up TLD guys it's Marquez from the mkbhd Channel and today are going to be taking a look at probably the most exciting thing that was announced today at day one of google io 2012 and that is the nexus 7 so as long as there have been Nexus phones there haven't really been nexus tablets i mean the motorola xoom to be fair was running stock android but there was never really a true Nexus tablet until now so today Google is changing that they've officially partnered with a sous who makes a transformer prime and they're making a 7-inch form factor tablet that they're calling a nexus tablet of their own so start with the hardware on the inside this guy has a quad-core Tegra 3 processor pretty beefy processor and it's got 1 gig of ram inside and on the front is a 1280 x 800 7-inch display followed by a fairly sizable bezel it's supposed to be about the size of a paperback book according to google and it's only 340 grams so it actually ways and feels about that same size too it has a 1.2 megapixel front facing camera and no back facing camera which is an interesting choice but i can see why they did that because we'll get to the price in a second and that's probably the biggest factor here there's also a 4325 milliamp hour battery which appears to be non removable another reason why this is one of the most important things that was announced today is because this is launching and coming out of the box with android 4.1 jelly bean a lot of things were announced today at Google i/o but jelly bean is also one of the most exciting things and it comes with a lot of different enhancements one of these being something called project butter apparently thanks to project butter you can compare ice cream sandwich or android 4.0 side with 4.1 and it'll be a lot faster significantly smoother animations as they've tried to update the refresh rate and pretty much have every animation in the entire operating system at 60 frames per second that is really smooth watching the keynote live you can see a lot of these animations in action a whole bunch of different things like opening apps and scrolling and all that just seemed to have a slightly smoother effect so I'm proud of Google for getting their their act together in terms of the quality of the experience department it's a lot more polished now something else that's also really awesome in android 4.1 jellybean is google now and google voice search the whole google search app experience has been totally revamped with an you cards like you I in fact John would probably agree with me this is a bout as close as Google is going to get to a Serie competitor as this is a voice interaction sort of deal going on it's designed to sort of almost figure you out in a way uses a lot of information it knows about you from your location your google search history the way you use google and it will do things like that in order to sort of become a bit of a personal assistant so one thing for example that it would do is it will look in your google calendar and it'll see you have an appointment and a location for that appointment and it'll go ahead and give you a reminder saying hey that appointments about 20 minutes away in order to get there on time you need to leave in five minutes and it'll show a notification for that or you may be at an airport and you have your flight information and it'll go ahead and tell you what gate your flight is going to be at and keep you updated on the flight status or maybe you're going to be taking a bus and a train somewhere and you need mass transit information and you need to know when the bus is going to be arriving at your bus stop it'll tell you when the next bus is going to arrive at the bus station you're currently standing at it can even use your google search history to figure out your favorite sports teams and players and keep you updated on their status all with their own little cards all these things will have their own little cards and will show up in the googles now notification section I think this is all very very awesome it's not exactly Siri you know it's not conversational the same way that s voice and iris and Siri are but it's definitely a step in the right direction so the Nexus 7 will be available the eight gig version will be 199 and the 16 gig version would be to 49 in the google play store they are available right now Wi-Fi only models the links should be in the description down below at play google com will you be picking one up because i know that i most certainly will be either way guys thanks for watching this quick overview video if you like what you see here you can check out the mkbhd youtube channel hopefully that's also an annotation or something I reviewed the galaxy s3 maybe you should click on the galaxy s3 for my galaxy s3 review that I did not too long ago either way like I said thanks for watching hope you enjoyed and I'll talk to you guys hopefully later face
