Google Android plans revealed
Google's Hugo Barra shows off the Nexus 7 tablet computer
Taking place on the same day as Microsoft’s Windows Phone 8 launch in San Francisco, Google is planning a New York event where it is widely expected to unveil at least one new Google Nexus telephone as well as an enhanced version of its existing Nexus 7 tablet that will add more memory and 3G capabilities.
Perhaps the most exciting product, however, is a 10” tablet developed with Samsung codenamed ‘Manta’. Running an updated version of Google’s Android. Sources told The Next Web that it will offer a 2560×1600 pixel (16:10) resolution, which the site claimed “will offer around 300 pixels per inch (PPI) compared to the new iPad’s 264 PPI”.
The device, expected to be called a “Nexus 10”, will be among the first to offer Android 4.2, which will offer incremental improvements over the current Android 4.1. New features will include enhancements to the camera functions, adding a panorama mode that will, Google hopes, rival that provided by Apple for iOS6 by adding horizontal and vertical functions.
It will also add a ‘tablet sharing’ function that will allow different users to easily sign in to the same tablet.
The event’s tagline is ‘The playground is open’, leading many to suspect it will feature a range of devices. Google is widely expected to introduce a range of Nexus devices, although it has previously announced only individual products with Asus, HTC and Samsung. Nexus is the brand that Google has used to produce the next generation of Android hardware.
