Even before the official availability in India via Google the Nexus tablet were already selling on ebay for around Rs. 20,000. This tablet comes with IPS backlit display with scratch resistant corning glass. The supported resolution on the 7 inch screen is 1280×800 pixels (216ppi).

A good 4325 mAh battery gets the tablet going for almost 8 hours non-stop with moderate usage on a single charge. As for the sensors there is Accelerometer, GPS, Gyroscope, NFC and Magnetometer (as mentioned on the nexus detail page on Google play).
For the price of Rs. 15,999 this looks good, yes the screen is small at 7 inches and you can get a bigger screen tablet for around the same price. But for brand conscious uses the Google Nexus 7 is here in India.
