La largest chain of bookstores from the United States and which has a good experience in the eReader market, is planning its return to the tablet market apparently with what would be a new device of greater dimensions. This would have passed through the FCC certification, which gives way to the launch of a product in a given.
Perhaps, due to the good sales successes that Amazon Fire tablets are collecting, from which I made my first 8 HD prints a few weeks ago, Barnes & Noble does not want to miss the opportunity and present itself with a product that can match it in performance. We do not know many of the details of the tablet, but it will be a Nook device.
It will be the first Nook device that Barnes & Noble has produced in a long time since this series stopped selling a few years ago. In the midst of financial troubles, Barnes & Noble decided to partner with Samsung to produce Nook versions of the Korean tech giant's tablets.
Now is when they want to go back to the tablet market with their own. The model is the number BNTV450 and we would be facing a 7 inch tablet with a MediaTek MT8163 quad-core chip and a 3.000 mAh battery. It comes equipped with a microSD slot, front and rear cameras, and Bluetooth 4.0. What we do not know are the options in storage, but it would not be too crazy to think that there will be several variants like the two options of Amazon's Fire 8 HD.
But the really curious thing about this tablet is that it seems that it will offer support to the Google Play Store instead of being subscribed to its own content or ecosystem. Logically, the Barnes & Noble software will be integrated into the system, although you will have access to all those Android apps, so you will have a great advantage if you know how to find prices similar to the Amazon alternatives.
We will wait for more news to know more about this tablet that will be made by Shenzhen Jingway.
