Details of Google's cut-price iPad challenger have been leaked online revealing a trimmed-down tablet at a rock bottom price.

The Nexus 7 tablet, which tech website Gizmodo says could arrive in Australia as early as next month, will be available for $199 for an 8GB model and $249 for the 16GB version.

With a seven-inch screen it will be substantially smaller than Apple's market-dominating iPad, which is equipped with a 9.7-inch LED display.

It is also expected to be the first tablet to run Google's next-generation Android operating system, known as Jelly Bean.

Built by PC maker Asus, the tablet will reportedly feature a 1.3Ghz quad-core Tegra 3 processor, 1GB or RAM and a GeForce 12-core graphics processor.

Google has yet to publicly confirm the details of the rumoured tablet with the details reported by Gizmodo found in a training document.

The revelation comes as the tablet war continues to heat up as Microsoft announced its Surface tablet and Apple announced new features for its iPad.
