As you might have already known, the Google Nexus line of mobile devices uses the Android operating system produced by Google in cooperation with hardware manufacturers. These Nexus devices do not have any carrier or manufacturer modifications to the Android OS, and have an unlockable bootloader. This allows further development and end-user modification. Not to mentioned that Nexus devices are typically the first Android devices to receive updates to the Android operating system.
Recently Google unveiled it’s Nexus series of new products, namely the Nexus 4,7 and 10. Nowadays, increasingly we observed that most of us have more than one portable device, and we usually switch between these devices several times a day. You may have a smartphone for the day you need to travel light, a 7-incher for light duties and easy browsing, and a 10 incher for serious, long duration use. Now, you can do it with the Nexus series! I am excited to announce three great new Nexus devices in 3 sizes (like T-shirts!) small, medium and large. The best part? They all run Android 4.2 Jelly Bean – the latest version of Google and other great new features. Let’s take a look at these perfect trinity and gorgeous creations! 🙂
Before this, let’s see how the dimensions stack up for these 3 devices:
You know, sometimes it’s hard to read up so much text in order to get to the gist of the matter, so I will attempt to put all these devices side by side for a quick overview.
