Nestle India finally hears the voice of Nexus 7 winners and gives them a Christmas to remember !

Tech2Yantra had reported earlier that the KitKat Nexus 7 contest winners in India were unhappy about getting the old and outdated Nexus 7 (2012) tablet as a prize, instead of the new and latest Nexus 7 (2013) tablet, that was promised through the promotional ads and posters by Nestle Kitkat India. The news about alleged cheating broke out on the web on Monday with major technology sites like Androidpolice.com reporting about it. Soon after, other major Indian Technology sites highlighted the news.

All the protests and campaigning over a week by the dedicated group of winners at Facebook really paid off when finally today Nestle Kitkat India posted a message on their official page which read like this:

Was the Kitkat India contest held to clear stock of unsold Nexus 7 (2012) ?

The news of alleged cheating of Kitkat Nexus 7 contest winners by Nestle India has been circulating all over the web since Monday 9 Dec, 2013. Many prominent websites and forums reported that the Kitkat Nexus 7 contest winners of India were shortchanged with an outdated Nexus 7 (2012) tablet instead of the promised "all new exclusive" Nexus 7 (2013) device.

So was this act by Nestle India, a way to clear the unsold stock of Nexus 7 (2012) tablets in India. This original stock android tablet was not much popular in India since it did not have any microSD slots, SIM card slot or any Primary camera at all.

Well, the regular price drops that have taken place after the launch of it's successor, the latest Nexus 7 (2013) indicates that the retail stores and eCommerce bigwigs were indeed speeding up to try and clear the stock of Nexus 7 (2012). It may also includes the Google Play store India.
