AT&T Nexus 7 LTE Officially Launches

Published

on

The LTE version of the new Nexus 7 has only been available for T-Mobile’s network since its launch, but AT&T has announced today that the Android-powered 7-inch tablet will be available on its network starting today. The AT&T version will ship unlocked and include an AT&T SIM card.

The tablet is still priced at the same $349 for the 32GB LTE version, but AT&T is offering a limited-time promotion that allows you to save $100 off the price if you buy the tablet and sign a two-year contract before the end of the year. This isn’t a huge discount by any means, but for those looking to save a little cash and were going to stay on AT&T for at least two years anyway may find the deal useful.

However, in order to take advantage of the offer, you’ll have to call or visit an AT&T retail location to activate it. $100 isn’t a lot when you consider how much you’ll pay for the service over the course of two years, but saving $100 off a $349 device can be pretty tempting for some, especially since it’s an up front cost.

As for the Nexus 7 LTE for T-Mobile, the listing says that Google and the carrier are still offering a free month of LTE service. That’s also not too bad of a deal, but that first month can definitely go by quick. This isn’t the first time that AT&T has added support for the Nexus 7, as last year’s model also saw the same love from Ma Bell.

The second-generation Nexus 7 was launched earlier this summer, and it replaced a decent, yet bugged-up first-generation Nexus 7. The new model sports a similar black frame, but comes with improved internals, as well as a better display with a 1920×1080 resolution, making it the highest-resolution 7-inch display on the market currently.

The tablet sports a 1.5GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor, and has a new 5-megapixel camera fixed on the back, making it the first time that a Nexus tablet has included a rear camera. You’ll also be treated with the latest Android 4.3 Jelly Bean version, packing some new features and improved performance over previous builds.
