The Google Nexus 7 tablet is definitely a remarkable achievement in the industry. It packs the latest technology for a mere $199 that is quite affordable. The Nexus 7 has a neat design and a high resolution display. The tablet is powered by the Android 4.1 Jellybean operating system.

When it comes to the other Android tablets in the market, the Android updates are not timely. With the Google Nexus 7, you need not be worried as it is the first one to come with the new Android version. Google will offer timely updates for its devices which is a great advantage.

The low price of Nexus 7 has some shortcomings. You cannot expand its memory as there is no memory card slot. Moreover, if you get the 8 GB version costing $199, you will get less than 6 GB only for your data. The lack of a rear camera is worth mentioning. A bigger one is the lack of an HDMI port.

So, what are the alternatives? Check out in the gallery on top.
