Will Googles upgraded Nexus 7 challenge Apples iPad mini

Google has just announced its new revamped Nexus 7 with three major upgrades – screen resolution, wireless charging and a brand new Android 4.3, putting pressure on Apple and its much-anticipated next edition of iPad mini.

The company has once again tied up with ASUS for the second edition of the Nexus 7.

“Together with ASUS, we took what you loved about the original Nexus 7 and made it even better,” a posting on the official Google Blog said. 

“The first thing you’ll notice is the sharpness of the screen: The 323 pixels packed into every inch of the screen makes it the world's highest-resolution 7-inch tablet. It’s lighter than ever, with more than nine hours of HD video playback and 10 hours of web browsing or reading. Nexus 7 now features stereo speakers and virtual surround sound from Fraunhofer (the inventors of the MP3 format), giving you rich and immersive audio,” the note added.
