It doesn’t take a wiz kid to figure out that the Nexus 7 is selling very well. It’s a $200 tablet after all, one that offers a quad core Tegra 3 CPU and 1280 x 800 pixel display, plus the Jelly Bean experience. Now we have some figures to associate to the slate’s future performance. For example, the Q3 sales are expected to be around 3 million.
Digitimes is reporting that the suppliers will ship 4 million touch panels for the device in Q3. Following that quarter, in Q4 we may see as much as 3 to 5 million units moved by ASUS and Google. The last quarter may bring a boom in sales of all tablets, since it’s the holiday season after all. Google has to enter more markets to make its tablet matter, like Asia, Europe, Latin America and more. Imagine a Christmas gift of $200 or even less all over the world. Pretty cool, right?
Unless Amazon has a hotter Kindle Fire to offer or an iPad Mini appears in the next months, there’s nothing stopping Nexus 7 to become a top seller. And meanwhile we wait for our review unit to see if the tablet is really worth all the fuss. I feel that it does…
