The tablet has also been released in the US, Canada, France, Germany and Japan.
In this country the Nexus 7 2 is retailing for £199.99 for the 16GB model and £239.99 for the 32GB version.
The original version of Google’s tablet was launched last year. Since then the device has been slimmed down and given a number of extra features.
The new device features wireless charging, 4G connectivity and a screen that offers 323 pixels per inch.
Google has claimed the screen made the next generation Nexus 7 the world’s highest resolution tablet, comparing favourably to the iPad’s Retina Display, which offers 264 pixels per inch. Both models offer higher resolutions than most users can perceive.
The company said it could offer up to 10 hours of battery life, and that its GHz processor was 80 per cent faster than the original model. Memory has been doubled to GB, and it also features wireless charging, the latest version of Bluetooth for compatibility with wearable technologies such as watches, and NFC.
The 144 x 200 x 9.15 mm tablet is lighter than its predecessor, at 299g with Wi-fi and 310g with 4G LTE. The 1920 x 1200 HD display also comes with 5MP rear and 1.2MP front cameras, as well as dual stereo speakers.
The device is also the first to feature the new version of Android, 4.3, which includes individual user profiles which can be restricted so that, for instance, children cannot see in-app purchasing options that could land their parents with huge bills.
