Google Android or Chrome event 24th July

[Nexus18]

*awaits for people to post about how disappointed they are with 4.3 not having many new features, apps etc.*



Saying that iirc supposedly this has quite a few battery improvements.

Bets on how long it will take OEM's to bring 4.3 to their phones? My money is on 6+ months

Will be pretty disappointed if this ain't the new Nexus 7...

Here comes the new Nexus 7.

I think it will be the ChromeCast thingy that cropped up on the Google support site briefly last night. Shame as I'd love a new Chromebook, we can still hope.

Edit: The fact they have a TV sat on the stage I'd say it is the ChromeCast.

That is a huge % for one device

 

[DiCe!]

And there it is

 

[Cosimo]

Thinner and lighter. 323ppi

 

[DiCe!]

Backing is the same but no dimples
Narrower by nearly 6 mm

 

[DiCe!]

1920x1200

 

[benjo]

1920x1200 res too.

 

[TallPaul_S]

Basically, exactly as the rumours

 

[DiCe!]

216 to 323 highest pixel count on any tablet on the market

 

[Cosimo]

1920x1200 res too.

323ppi.

 

[DiCe!]

"more to a great tablet than just the number of pixels" *cough* Apple *cough*

 

[Cosimo]

Stereo speakers and virtual surround.

All we now need is the pre-order date.

 

[DiCe!]

Bold claim its 5.1 from just the 2 speakers.....hmm ok.

 

[Nexus18]

Yup!

All very well a high res. but if the screen is washed out looking and/or has poor viewing angles, poor brightness etc. then it is a pretty crap display in my eyes.

Look forward to the reviews.

 

[DiCe!]

No mention on AMOLED....

 

[DiCe!]

HDMI out
wireless charging
