New 7 inch android tablet may be coming soon as Google schedules a July 24 event- Priceangels.com

Google has sent out invites for a mystery press event next week, just in time for the rumored launch of a new 7 inch android tablet.The invitation for July 24 is billed as a “breakfast with Sundar Pichai,” who became Google’s head of Android in March. Pichai also is still in charge of Chrome and apps.

Although Google gave no indication of what the event is about, it’s likely that the company will announce a new Nexus 7 tablet at the event. A July launch for the tablet has been rumored since April, when Reuters reported that Asus would once again be Google’s manufacturing partner, and that Qualcomm’s Snapdragon processors would be featured. The two companies reportedly hope to sell more than 8 million of the tablets this year.

Specs for the tablet could include a 7-inch screen with a display resolution of 1920 by 1200 pixels (or possibly 1920 by 1080 pixels), a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor, 2GB of RAM, and a 5-megapixel rear camera. We may also see wireless charging and a narrower bezel than the current Nexus 7.

However, the price of the tablet is still in question.sdM6Scfs

Google could offer the same pricing as the first Nexus 7--$200 for 16GB and $250 for 32GB--but a new report by Android Central claims higher prices of $229 for 16GB and $269 for 32GB. It’s also unclear whether the original Nexus 7 will stick around at even lower prices.

The latest Ideapad tablet is the latest addition to the existing Ideapad tablet range that includes Lenovo Ideapad tablet A2107 and Lenovo Ideapad tablet Lynx K3011.

The A1000 is powered by 1.2GHz dual-core MediaTek 8317 processor with 1GB of RAM. It comes with SIM support for voice calling. The tablet sports a 7.0-inch display with a resolution of 1024x600 pixels and also includes a 3,500mAh battery that the company claims could deliver around 8 hours of Wi-Fi browsing. The 8 inch android tablet runs the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean out of the box. It also includes a front 0.3-megapixel camera to handle video chats. The tablet also features Dolby audio enhancements with dual stereo speakers. The tablet also includes a 4GB storage.

At the price, Lenovo Ideapad A1000 will face competition from the likes of the Asus MemoPad priced at Rs. 7,999, Acer Iconia B1 at Rs. 9250, Micromax Funbook Talk available at Rs. 6,800 and iberry Auxus AX03G with a price tag of Rs. 8,499. The budget tablet segment has seen a number of tablet vendors entering the Indian market and launching tablets with a price tag of sub-Rs. 10,000.
