THE NEXUS 7 2013 

Nexus 7 2013 price ranging from $229

There can be a slight change from the earlier price mentioned on this blog about the pricing range of the Nexus 7. Now more news are coming out about Nexus 7 2nd Gen from the Google about the pricing. Since the Nexus 7 2nd generation is not going to have the 8GB version as its earlier version. The Nexus 7 2nd generation will be selling from the 16GB to the 64GB version.

Not much change in price

The earlier Nexus 7 was priced $229 for the 32GB version and the 16GB was priced at around $199. The new Nexus 7 2nd generation is expected to be staring to be available from $229, pretty much cheap as its predecessor.

With a lot of new upgrades and features arriving to the Nexus 7 HD or the Nexus 7 2nd Generation, the new Nexus 7 has been priced pretty cheap. Well that's what you get the when you buy a Google phone from  made by ASUS.

Nexus 7 HD Specs from all the rumors

Rumors are there confirming the next update to Nexus 7. Its been since a year after the Nexus 7 the first and best, flagship 7-inch tablet computer was released under the Nexus brand by Google. 

After a lots of appreciations and criticisms about the first born, Google is expected to release the sibling of the Nexus 7 with a lot of changes.

Power Saving Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor

The New Nexus 7 will be replaced by  the earlier Nvidia Tegra 3 processor of clocking 1.2 Ghz with a much power saving  Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 clocked at 1.5GHz. Nvidia Tegra 3 was the perfect match for the first model, but after the Jelly Bean 4.2 update Google and Android has been facing lot of complaints regarding the power drainage and performance lacking in the Nexus 7 after a few months of its inception. Maybe this has led to the switch from the performance master to the the power saver, and much cheaper processor. 

The Best Display got even Better

Since it is the HD version which is expected to be releasing the resolution is going to see a major change from the earlier 720p to 1020p , which cannot be found in many of the 7 inch tablets that are in market at this price range. The earlier version of the Nexus 7 had a 216 ppi pixel density, which was the highest among all the 7-inch tablets.  The rise in the pixel density to 323 ppi will give even more clarity and a better user experience.

5MP Back camera

The earlier version had been booed by the iPad mini fans for not having a back camera. But Google well received it by justification of having high-quality video chat front facing camera and " whose gonna take photos on their tablet " argument. Wait for it.... The Nexus 7 HD has a 5MP back camera and the recent FCC docs approving Nexus 7 similar tablet from Asus gives us more than a peek into the new version of the Nexus 7.

Nexus 7 2 FCC Specifications

 

JellyBean 4.3

After the not so good comments and reviews of the Jelly Bean 4.2 update which has ruined the Android's life by power drainage, many are expecting a JellyBean 4.3 update to be released along with the Nexus 7 HD.

LTE enabled in cellular versions

The new Nexus 7 will be having LTE support for its cellular versions as perceived from the data of FCC. Being a major player in developing 4G or 3.9 G to be correct, Qualcomm might be coming up with LTE support for the cellular versions of the New Nexus 7. 

Its expected to be having a storage capacity from 16GB to 64GB. Nexus 7 had a 8GB model which was later discontinued.

RAM might be increased from 1 GB to 2GB compared to the earlier version of the Nexus 7. The increase of the RAM to 2GB can prove a great help to the hard-core gamers and for HD video support that the new version is going to have.

Looking at all this, we feel that the new Nexus 7 is going to another wonder kid like its elder one. 

Now we have to only hear these exact words from Hugo Barra 

" and all these fantastic features will be available from today onwards, starting at only $199..."
