The Google Nexus 7 has proven to be hugely successful after it was launched last year with many more consumers trying a tablet for the first time. Now we have news that the 32GB version of the Nexus 7 has been released for consumers in India, and is priced a lot cheaper than the iPad mini.

It was only last month that residents in the country first got access to the device via the Google Play Store, but this was only for the 16GB Wi-Fi model. Now as TelecomTiger are reporting the 32GB version is now available via the Indian Play Store, and is priced at RS. 18,999 which compares to the iPad mini with the same storage and Wi-Fi connectivity at Rs. 35,900.

To recap the device features a 7-inch touchscreen display with a resolution of 1280×800 pixels and a pixel density of 216ppi and is powered by the quad core Nvidia Tegra 3 processor cocked at 1.3GHz with 1GB of RAM.

There is also a 1.2 megapixel front camera with a 4,325 mAh battery, and it also includes NFC functionality while running the Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean operating system. Recently there has been talk though that a new version with a Full HD display and a Qualcomm processor will be unveiled at next month’s Google I/O event.

There will be many wondering if this will mean that the Nexus 4 will be reaching the country as well, as we reported recently accessories for the smartphone are now available with no sign of the handset itself for the time being.
