Let’s get right into it. Everyone knows what the official new Nexus smartphone will look like, specs, and the manufacturer behind it. The newest Nexus device will offer a 4.7inch IPS HD display w/ 1280 x 768 resolution + 320 ppi, powered by a 1.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon Pro, running Android 4.2 Jelly Bean, 2GB of RAM, 8GB & 16GB of storage, NFC, and a 8MP camera.
But now we know official pricing and availability now as well. Starting on November 13th, consumers will be able to pick up an unlocked 8GB for $299 and an unlocked 16GB for $349 on the Google Play Store. T-Mobile will offer a 16GB Nexus 4 for $199 on contract. starting on November 14th.
Then we have the Nexus 7 with 32GB of storage and 3G cellular service as well. This new storage size will discontinue the smaller 8GB size as the 32GB Nexus will have radios to support HSPA+ (from AT&T or T-Mobile) along with Wi-Fi. This would drop the 16GB down to $199 and the 32GB would now be $249 as it is available now. The 32GB Nexus 7 3G launches on November 13th for $299.
Also on deck is a 10inch Nexus tablet crafted by Samsung. Meet the Nexus 10. Powered by a 1.7GHz dual-core Exynos processor, quad-core Mali graphics on a 10.1inch Super AMOLED display w/ 2560 x 1600 resolution + 300 ppi, 5MP rear-facing camera w/ LED flash, dual speakers, Wi-Fi, NFC, no microSD slot but has a microHDMI port, and Bluetooth 4.0. The Nexus 10 will be available on the Google Play Store on November 13th with the 16GB model priced at $399 and the 32GB for $499. Also, of course, running Android 4.2.
And speaking of Android 4.2, this will still be considered JellyBean not Key Lime Pie. This new version offers a new redesigned Gallery, a new Camera UI called Photo Sphere, a Swype-like Gesture Typing, support for multiple accounts, the ability to wirelessly view media from your Nexus device to your HDTV, and the addition of the Quick Settings panel on the homescreen.
Fulfilling the rumor of multiple Nexus manufactures for the year. No one said they would all be phones. The Google Play Store is going to get crowded with devices. Nicely done Google.
