Hello,

ASUS is selling 16/32 GB Wifi + 3G 7 inch tablets. This is exactly what Google sells under 'Nexus' brand.

So if i purchase a 7 inch tablet from ASUS instead of purchasing it from Play store, will it get direct OS updates from Google ?

If its a Nexus, it will get direct updates... doesn't matter if you buy it directly from ASUS...

But if its a cheap crappy ASUS 7" tablet (i have seen them), then it won't get updates from Google.

Only Nexus gets direct updates from Google...

I am talking about this Nexus tablet ASUS is selling in India directly instead of Play store.

I hope it gets updates directly from Google. Please confirm.

You might need to flash it once though with the Play Store build of Android just like I had to with my phone. Have been getting all updates regularly since.
