In an official statement Asus’s CFO David Chang has revealed that his company is selling one million Nexus 7 tablets per month. He announced this information after the company’s third quarter conference that took place on Tuesday according to WSJ.
Nexus 7 is a joint venture of Asus and Android maker Google which has been undoubtedly become the most success Android tablet ever produced. Asus revealed that the sales were 500K-700K in the beginning but last month the sales jumped to 1 million units. While the number announced by Asus is good, it is no where near to the market leader Apple’s sale numbers. Apple recently announced in its third quarter results that it sold over 14 million iPad units in the last quarter alone in the US while the global sales of iPad were 25 million in the third quarter.
While Apple is enjoying the status of the most successful and the only king of the tablet industry Google is expected to boost its sales in the coming months. Google recently announced Nexus 10 with 2560×1600 resolution display and a 32GB version of Nexus 7. Google has also reduced the price of 16GB model to $199 replacing the 8 gig version with it.
