Barnes & Noble introduces the most affordable Nook tablet ever, at $49.99.<\/strong><\/div>\n

After five Nook tablets developed in cooperation with Samsung, Barnes & Noble decided to offer for the 2016 holiday season Nook-only branded device with basic features and a competitive price.<\/p>\n

The new device is simply named Nook Tablet 7<\/a> and costs as low $49.99. It’s the same as Amazon’s entry-level Amazon Fire 7.<\/p>\n

Don’t expect too much from a device that’s under $50. Nook Tablet 7 offers 8 GB internal memory (expandable via microSD slot), 1024 \u00d7 600 px display, and Android 6.0 Marshmallow enhanced with the special interface designed to make buying and managing Nook content easier. <\/p>\n

Some tech blogs say that Nook Tablet 7 has 5 MP rear and 2 MP front cameras, but this is not true. Someone have mistaken Nook Tablet 7 with the 7-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab A Nook, and others copies the tech specs.<\/p>\n

The only info about cameras on the Nook Tablet 7 product detail page is that there are two cameras: the front one is VGA, and the rear one is 2 MP.<\/p>\n

Nook Tablet 7 was announced on November 16, and available for pre-order on Barnes & Noble’s website. <\/p>\n

The official release date is set for Black Friday 2016 – November 25. On that day, the new Nook goes on sale in 638 Barnes & Noble stores across the US. <\/p>\n

We have to keep in mind that Barnes & Noble launched the 7-inch Nook this year already. It’s Samsung Galaxy Tab A Nook 7<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Moving towards the low-cost device looks like a desperate step to compete with Amazon’s concept of the cheap tablet with full access to the powerful ecosystem.<\/p>\n

The rush is seen in the availability of accessories. Unlike the tablets launched together with Samsung, there are only few cases for the 2016 Nook Tablet<\/a>. To be precise, it’s two models (heavy-duty kids’ case and the book style cover) in a few colors each. <\/p>\n

Nook Tablet 7 (2016) – comparisons<\/h2>\n

The only comparison that makes sense is against Amazon’s Fire 7 tablet introduced a year ago.<\/p>\n

Both tablets are astonishingly similar when you look at tech details (see the table below).<\/p>\n

Amazon Fire 7 has a version with a twice bigger internal memory, and comes in a few colors, what Nook lacks.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, the new Nook is a bit lighter, smaller, thinner, and has a soft-touch back.<\/p>\n

These two devices offer tech specs that were attractive a couple of years ago. Instead of analyzing what the devices lack, users who are willing to spend no more than $50 on a tablet should think about what the connected ecosystems offer. <\/p>\n
