Google Nexus 7 Remains the Best 7-inch Tablet but HP Slate 7 Tablet Competes with $169 Price Tag in the United States [Video]

Google Nexus 7 is hailed as the best tablet in the 7-inches category boasting powerful specs and low cost compared to other brands. But Hewlett-Packard launched the HP Slate 7 to compete the Nexus 7, having an even lower price of $169 per unit only.

Google Nexus 7 is available on Google Play which costs $249 for the 32GB variant and $199 for the 16GB. HP Slate 7 attempts to battle with the Nexus tablet using low-cost on consumers for only $169 per unit.

HP Slate 7 comes with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, 7-inch of display screen, 1024x600 resolution, 1.6GHz dual-core ARM A9 processor, 1GB RAM, 8GB of internal storage, 3MP rear camera, VGA front camera, microSD card slot and Beats Audio system.

Google Nexus 7 have similar technical specifications with the HP Slate 7, however, the opponent has the advantage over microSD card expansion and built-in Beats Audio system which is commonly seen on HTC smartphones.

Other than that, HP Slate 7 beats the 1.2MP camera, lack of front-shooting camera and shortage of memory due to zero support for expansion of the Nexus 7. Even so, consumers may find Google Nexus 7 hard to let go when considering the better sets of processor of Nvidia Tegra 3, Android 4.2 Jelly Bean and higher display resolution of 1280x800.

HP is planning to manufacture high-end tablet before the year ends and rumours that the company will include Nvidia Tegra 4 and other powerful specifications to their upcoming devices.
