Google's New Line of Tablets and Phone's

Earlier in October Google revealed its new line of tablets and phones that it plans to release later this year (sometime in November or December). This new line includes their newest smart phone, the Nexus 6, and their newest tablet, the Nexus 9. Each of the products boast new features over their predecessors and are lighter and thinner. Both of the products also run off of the Android operating system (the Nexus phones run off of the newest versions of Android and can often show new features that are coming to different Android phones).

I think that the new products that Google is releasing set up great competition for the smart phone and tablet markets.  The new tablet, the Nexus 9, has exactly the same screen resolution but has a screen that is one inch smaller. The Nexus 9 is also slightly lighter than the iPad Air, weighing in at less than one pound! I think that this is awesome because it is a pain to hold tablets that weigh a lot. I like to use mobile devices that are lightweight but that still pack a punch. The Nexus 6 is also pushing the limits of smart phone technology. I like that it runs the most up to date versions of android. The phone is also designed upon the android operating system. It is the example phone for the implementation of android on a smart phone. The only problem about these mobile devices is their size (at least compared to other products such as the iPhone or iPad). Both the phone and the tablet are relatively large compared to their counterparts from other companies. For me, size is a very important factor in the smart phone and tablet industries. I like to have phones and tablets that have large screens but are also thick. This tends to be the trend in mobile technology in recent years; the screens are getting larger but the products themselves are getting thinner.

Overall, I think that Google's new tablet and phone will make tough competition for other phones and tablets such as the iPad Air and iPhone 6. Competition in the mobile technology market will only help the technology improve at a faster rate, which is something that I am sure most of us would appreciate.
