Refreshed Nexus 7 Arrives In Japan This August 28th

Refreshed Nexus 7 Arrives In Japan This August 28thHistory has shown that Google more often than not take their own sweet time in delivering its range of Nexus tablets as well as smartphones to Japan since it has launched in the US, but at the very least, they do seem to be improving. In fact, it has just been announced that Google will be delivering the newly refreshed Nexus 7 (which we have reviewed by the way), sporting a spanking new 1,900 x 1,200 resolution display as well as a 5-megapixel shooter, and is said to make landfall in Japan this coming Wednesday, that would be August 28th.

If you want to pick up the 16GB model, then you would need to fork out 27,800 yen for it, while those who want the 32GB model will have to churn out 33,800 yen a pop. Folks who reside in the Land of the Rising Sun and have kept their fingers crossed for a LTE model will be pleased to hear that such a device will also be on its way, hitting Japan as a SIM-unlocked device sometime in the middle of September onwards. It will arrive off-contract for a wee bit less than 40,000 yen, and according to Google, this bad boy will run on all three of Japan’s major carriers (and they are DoCoMo, Softbank and KDDI’s au) without breaking a sweat. Better late than never applies here, don’t you think so?

    Nexus 7 2013 Receives Firmware Update

    Nexus 7 2013 Receives Firmware UpdateThe new Nexus 7 is definitely an impressive tablet by all accounts, and considering the kind of firepower that it packs underneath the hood without breaking the bank, we would highly recommend the device to be part of your gadget arsenal if you are in the market for an Android-powered tablet. The thing is, nothing is perfect in this world, and the same can be said of the new Nexus 7 tablet – as some users have already reported erratic performances in its multi-touch display, with Google also acknowledging the issue.

    Well, thankfully the coding mavens over at Google has managed to solve this issue, relegating it to the “Job Completed” segment through the introduction of the Android 4.3 Jelly Bean update with build number JSS15Q that will include the multi-touch bug fix. This particular new update for the Nexus 7 is available via Over The Air (OTA), so you will just have to be patient if you have not yet received your fix.

    According to Paul Wilcox, a member of Google’s support staff, he mentioned, “As a couple of you have mentioned, there’s a new system update that’s started rolling out for your Nexus 7s. This update does address the touchscreen issues discussed in this thread. If you’re one of the people experiencing touchscreen issues, please let us know how it’s going after you’ve received and installed the update.”

At the official announcement, it was said that the new tablet will be available from July 30th. Major retailers such as Walmart, GameStop, Best Buy and Amazon have already started selling the new tablet. Now, Google’s latest tablet is available from the company’s own online store.

    The official Google Play twitter account has also tweeted a confirmation that the new tablet is now available for purchase through Google Play Store. The 16GB version is priced at $229, and the 32GB version will set customers back $269. Nexus 7 2 is thinner and lighter than its predecessor, the display has almost twice the resolution than the first generation tablet. Furthermore, it comes with Android 4.3 Jelly Bean installed.

As an added incentive for buying directly from Google, customers will be eligible for free ground shipping, albeit for a limited time.
