The new Nexus 7 won’t get its official unveiling until later today during an Android event with Sundar Pichai, but thanks to Best Buy, we already know all there is to know about the new 7-inch slate — including what it will look like, and its full list of specifications. So what else is there to see?
An unboxing, of course. So, if you’re into that kind of thing, you can check out the world’s first second-generation Nexus 7 unboxing below — along with some benchmarks.
Google’s Sundar Pichai will host an Android event in San Francisco today, where we expect to see Android 4.3 and the new Nexus 7 get their official unveilings. But the latter has already been put up for pre-order at Best Buy and Sam’s Club, where its price tag and specifications are confirmed.
As expected, the second-generation Nexus 7 will be the first to run Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, and it will do so with the help of a 1.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro processor, Adreno 320 graphics, 2GB of RAM, and either 16GB or 32GB of internal storage.
Motorola’s DROID Mini has certainly turned a few heads; it is the most affordable and compact high-end ‘mini’ device on the market, but when it was announced yesterday, it seems that in all the excitement the manufacturer actually forgot to inform us of most of its specifications − so here they are.
The Mini is the smallest of three new Motorola devices, featuring a 4.3-inch 720p LCD display, compared to its brothers the Ultra and the Maxx which both feature a 5-inch OLED screen.
Apple just released it’s Q3 2013 earnings report and even though iPhone sales were up to 31.2 million units in the quarter, compared to 26 million last quarter, the company only posted a net profit of $6.9 billion. Samsung on the other hand reported that it made $8.33 billion in profit during the same quarter.
Apple reported a profit of $8.8 billion and $35 billion in revenue in the third quarter of 2012, so profit is still down and revenue growth is flat. The company’s year-over-year net profit shrank for the first time in a decade last quarter.
