Nexus 7 2013 featured on Best Buy Ads

The much anticipated announcement of the Nexus 7 2nd Generation is expected to be tomorrow in the Google Event. To add more excitement and suspense to the event Google has been very careful in trying to keep the event and any news regarding the Next Generation Nexus 7 a secret. 

But the news which has been leaked from the Office max, about the inventory details of the New Nexus 7.

To add to that this week we have seen the fliers coming out from the Best Buy Ads featuring the upcoming Nexus 7 2nd generation.

The Ad has stated that the customers have to wait till Tuesday , i.e. the 30th of June 2013 for getting the tablets into their hands.

The device specifications in the ad snippet is like this 

Google Nexus 7

With 16GB storage and a 1920 x 1200 screen resolution, you'll have everything you need to access Gmail, Google Maps, YouTube and more.

Usually no retailers will be publishing the details in the ads before the complete sales of the previous version of a product is launched. Anyway Best Buy has spilled the beans about the upcoming Nexus 7 and the users will have to be patient for 1 more week for it to get into their hands.

Meanwhile there has some stunning photo shoots of the Nexus 7 which has been circling around. The new wallpaper of the Nexus 7 2nd Generation is simple and colourful with a vivid design. Looking like an origami work !

The new wallpapers for the Nexus 7 looks quite appealing. maybe i will be a Android 4.3 Jelly Bean default wallpaper which can also be available in other Android devices.

Anyway, fingers crossed for the Nexus 7 announcement.

  

Nexus 7 2013 specs updation and model cover photo

The past few days has been  quite exciting for the Nexus 7 lovers and fans. The leaks confirming the specs and the photos of the form and size of the new model has been reported in the Nexus7HD . The Android Event by Google on 24th June 2013 , Wednesday is expected to be also the announcement of the next gen Nexus 7.  The leaks from the Office-max inventory list also confirming the release of the Nexus 7 in the near future. 

The Nexus 7 second generation rumors has been circling around the web for last few months and was expected to be unveiled in the annual developers event of Google, Google I/O. but there was no news from Google regarding the the Nexus 7 device or the Android 4.3 update. While the FCC, and the Bluetooth SIG certifications along with the spilling of beans by the ASUS customer rep during a support session had started the fans to again dream about their new Nexus 7 and hope for much better specifications. 

The new information about the Nexus has been wonderful.

4 GB RAM

The earlier specifications had been  confirming that the New Nexus 7 will be seeing an upgrade from the earlier 1GB RAM to 2GB RAM. The earlier 1GB RAM itself was performing as expected in high resolution games like Need For Speed- Most Wanted mobile version and was giving a great user -experience, feel and fun to the user. Most of the users who gave reviews about the Nexus 7 had mentioned about the speed and clarity of the Nexus 7 while gaming.

Now after the new photo leaks of the Nexus 7 has released the data pertaining to the memory capacity of the device has been upgraded to a new number. The tag of the Next Nexus 7 if carefully scrutinized shows that the Nexus 7 is not 2GB RAM device but 4GB.

If you can carefully scrutinize the Memory specifications it is written as DDRLM 1600  "256M * 16" i.e. 16 times 256 MB which equals to 4096 MB which is 4GB ....

So it turns out that the new Nexus 7 will be a 4GB device.

Wireless charging

The New Nexus 7 is expected to be having a new feature for charging the device wireless.

We are not sure whether this feature is only a Nexus 7 feature or will be inherent with all devices having the Android JellyBean 4.3

The addition of Android 4.3 JellyBean to the Nexus 7 is also confirmed with the new leaks.

Nexus 7 and Android is adopting Wireless charging following Nokia which was the first brand to introduce this feature. Wireless charging has not proven much better than the normal charging, it takes too much time for charging the device also. Even then the feature is much appealing to say along with the other extra features added to the device.

The @evleaks has meanwhile released a model cover photo that will be used for marketing purposes by Google .

The much anticipated Google Nexus 7 HD or whatever that Google is gonna name it, is on the way.

Late July, that's when the Nexus 7 2013 is expected

We have been hearing rumors about the release of the Nexus 7 HD for past couple of months.

The expectation was it to be announced with the Moto X phone. But it seems like the Moto X is scheduled to release in August. 

Lot of sites have estimated a late release of the tablet on July. A Taiwanese website also has reported that the Nexus 7 2 will be releasing in Taiwan by the end of July for $299. According to the market experts the Nexus 7 2 will be able to ship as many as 8 million devices in 2013.

The Android Community has analysed a mid-summer release of the Nexus 7 2, since the market will be flooded with new tablet releases at that time and it would be a good time to welcome the tablet with the rest of them.

Meanwhile, the Fuhrer seems to be pissed off by the inaccurate details regarding the release of the Nexus 7 2. Check this out.

There has been a lot of posts going around the release of the Nexus 7 2 to be releasing soon. The posts about the specifications of the New Nexus 7 has been brewing up nearing to the Annual Developer's Google I/O 2013. But after no announcement regarding the release of the next Nexus 7 2nd generation , developers and fans got pretty depressed.  Below is a graph showing the search trends regarding the release of the Next Generation Google Nexus 7.



After a slump again the hopes are rising about the next Nexus 7, after the leaks from the Bluetooth SIG listings

the Asus customer representative honesty

Nexus 7 2013 - Is it the 7-inch version of Nexus 10 ?

Nexus 7 2 with all its mighty glory and power is expected to be releasing by the end of July.
The specifications confirming the Nexus from the Asus customer representative and the approximate dates gives all much expectation about what the next Nexus device in the Nexus family should be. Lets hope this kid is going to keep the family's name all glorious!

Though the Nexus 7 2/HD has some mind-blowing features implemented into it, it seems like the specifications appears to be bit exaggerating. Or is Google going to "Redefine the Standards" ?

The Nexus 7 was a wonderful 7-inch tablet comparing it to the other 7-inch tablets . Nexus 10 was made for users to experience the full Android Jellybean capabilities with a huge display and a powerful Samsung Exynos processor.

Nexus 10 had been giving a great user experience to the users since the past year. The multi-user support, the beautiful  2560 x 1600 (300 ppi)  ten inch screen, front and back cameras for HD-video chat and video recording respectively, the thin and light weight form-factor, the front facing speakers for watching Youtube and other videos without headphones and all the other awesome features that the Nexus 10 had made it the best Android device that one could own.

Nexus 10

Why did I brag all these time about the Nexus 10 when we are here to talk about the Nexus 7 HD ? Well you will know that after reading this full post.

Now lets come to the features that the Nexus 7 2 and the the Nexus 10 has in each of them and how does each see oneself to the other.

Processor

Nexus 10 - Samsung Exynos 5 Dual 

Nexus 7 HD - Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 

The CPUBoss gives a really better rating for Snapdragon 600 (8.8/10) compared to Exynos 5 Dual (8.2/10) [ chances are there these ratings may change] . Google has used the Exynos 5 Dual in their affordable laptop Samsung Chromebook. 

The Exynos 5 Dual is a better battery saving CPU compared to the Exynos 4 Quad. Snapdragon series has been also introduced under the power-saving brand. 

Both are having the ARM Cortex A-15 Cpu in them with a bit different clocking speeds, Exynos has 1.6 GHz and Snapdragon 1.9 GHz.

RAM

Nexus 10 - 2 GB

Nexus 7 HD - 2 GB

The Nexus 7 has upgraded its internal memory to 2 GB from 1 GB. This will better performance with the gaming and the high-definition rendering for the New Nexus.

Display

Nexus 10 - 10.1 inch

Nexus 7 HD - 7 inch

Of course the Nexus 7 HD is 7-inch. Bigger the display more closer to larger visual experience, but less closer to portability. 

Pixel-density

Nexus 10 - 300 ppi

Nexus 7 HD - 323 ppi 

The pixel density of the Nexus 7 HD is the Highest PPI among all the 10-inch and 7-inch tablets, and comes close to Nexus 5's 326 ppi. What is with Nexus devices and providing dense pixel distribution ? Take any Nexus device, Google has tried to give the highest pixel density to the Nexus device compared to other devices in the same class. So this makes it obvious why the next Nexus 7 will be the Nexus 7 HD. Anyways the best is getting better, now you can play your favorite videos in HD and see your gaming graphics with more clarity and life.

Camera

Nexus 10 - Front cam - 1.9 MP, Main Cam - 5 MP

Nexus 7 HD - Front cam - 1.2 MP, Main Cam - 5 MP

Nexus 7 HD has a back camera compared to the earlier version. This gives the users an option to capture pictures using their "tablet", which sounds very odd.... but still Google is adding that capability to make 

Nexus 7 HD, the complete 7-inch experience in your hands...

Mobile connectivity

Nexus 10 - No mobile (GSM/CDMA) connectivity 

Nexus 7 HD - HSPA/LTE Connectivity

The New Nexus 7 is having high-speed LTE connectivity for mobile internet. This gives users to get lightning speed internet on the go. Thanks to the Qualcomm Snapdragon 600, it supports LTE networking.

Is anything missing?   Yeah!  What about the price, battery power and the device weight. We can see that after the Nexus 7 HD has been officially released.

So what do you think to my above statement

Why did I brag all these time about the Nexus 10 when we are here to talk about the Nexus 7 HD ? Well you will know that after reading this full post.

Yes you got it ! Nexus 7 is going to be the next Nexus 10 in 7-inch form factor.

 How do you feel now? I feel like  hearing this all night.
