Google Nexus 7 tablet certainly reigns in the affordable tablet segment, but other device makers have taken up the challenge of competing with it. Several tablet models have been made available in the mid-tier segment; while LG has no plans to introduce an affordable device.
Apart from the new Nexus 7 there are some tablets worth checking out if your budget is around Rs 20, 000. We have focused on decent performance and expandable storage while Android update availability is still ambiguous. Nevertheless, these tablets promise a decent multimedia experience.
Google introduced the new Nexus 7 (2013) tablet a couple of weeks ago and the tablet runs Android 4.4 KitKat update. Nexus 7 (2013) features a 7 inch IPS LCD display with 1920 x 1200 pixel resolution. This high resolution display is made using scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla Glass technology. The Nexus 7 (2013) is powered by a quad core 1.5 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 Pro mobile processor with Adreno 320 GPU and 2 GB RAM. The first model supports 16 GB RAM and is priced just around Rs 20,000 if you can manage to use a coupon or specific bank's credit card. Made by Asus, the Nexus 7 (2013) has a 5 megapixel camera at the back with auto focus for imaging, and a 1.2 megapixel camera in the front for video calls.
Since this is a WiFi only model, it does not support SIM based voice calling. Though it packs Android 4.3 Jelly Bean out of the box, the Android 4.4 Jelly Bean update can be downloaded by connecting the tablet to a WiFi network. Nexus 7 (2013) has dual stereo surround sound speakers by Fraunhofer. There is a standard audio connector to hook your favorite pair of headphones. The Nexus 7 (2013) packs a 3950 mAh battery to offer about 9 hours of multimedia entertainment. The reason this tablet tops our list is because it offers a pure Nexus experience without much custom skin.
