The best of Android is now not only available in the United States and Europe but also has finally landed here in India. I think we don’t need any introduction for the handset. Nexus 4 the wildly popular hardware which has been designed by LG under the nexus series from Google has now arrived in India for 25,999 INR.
Nexus 4 was launched last year in September 2012 only for US and UK markets by Google at a brilliant price tag of $299 for 8 GB model and $349 for 16GB model. The fire sale couldn’t match the stocks and ultimately lots were kept on hold. Even Google didn’t expected general masses to be interested in buying this developer’s paradise. With its great success, they planned to make it available to others parts of the world and here we see it in India today.
After years of wait, Google finally launched the Play Books in India last month which now has been witnesses by all of us. Surprisingly Google also brought its hardware in India starting with Nexus 7 on 26th March 2013. Last night on 28th March 2013 Google also launched Play Movies which makes even more sense after the launch of their tablets here in India.
Google Play Movies is its own movie rental and purchase service where the patrons can buy or rent a digital download of their favourite movie titles. Pricing are similar to what one can spend on watching movies in theaters but has been decided considering the Indian mentality alike what Apple did with itunes for example a $17.99 movie on the US Play Store is priced at $9.99 for the Indian Play Store.
