Doesn't really look like an upgrade for anyone who already has a Nexus 7.

Google have announced an event for next Wed 24th where it's highly probable they'll officially announce Android 4.3 and Nexus 7 2. I think the new Nexus 7 might even be for sale at the end of next week things look that promising.
The pricing details have also leaked: http://blog.gsmarena.com/pricing-det...exus-7-leaked/ 16GB for $229 (£150) and 32GB for $269 (£176). When this comes out i'll definetely be buying one. |

Looks like if apple wants to competive at the 7 inch tablet level they need to give the iPad 2 mini a solid processor and the retina display. These seven inch tablets are proving to be very popular. While I expect they will never replace laptops they serve a purpose.

So should be around £180 & 210 for a straight conversion +VAT, or more likely (purely a guess on my part) £189 & £229... |

As always, don't forget to add 20% for VAT...

front facing camera as well. rumoured 4 GB RAM. I won't be letting go of my N7 version 1 though.
Still reckon its the best mid-sized tablet out there

i have a hard time believing it's going to cost more than the current model.
to be honest i was expecting it to be cheaper. e.g. a month ago, The Motley Fool posted saying Quote:
That modest price increase would distance the device from entry-level models and put it more in the mid-range ($199 to $249), while Apple sits at the high end with $329. The low-end tablet market continues to head lower, after Amazon reduced the price of its first-generation Kindle Fire to just $159 and Hewlett-Packard now sells its Slate 7 for $170. ASUS also targets the sub-$159 market with its own branded tablets, along with other OEMs like Acer. Pricing slightly higher would help ASUS preserve margins, while Amazon will assuredly maintain its characteristic loss-leader strategy. http://www.fool.com/investing/genera...ext-nexus.aspx |

when the n7 v1 was released it was one of the lowest priced tablets commercially available. Now cheaper exports are hitting sub £100 prices (and available in trusted high-street retailers) and Google doesn't want to be seen in that category.
e.g. a month ago, The Motley Fool posted saying http://www.fool.com/investing/genera...ext-nexus.aspx i could make a reasonable case for why it should be cheaper than the current model. as in google's costs are no higher in supplying them, possibly lower because of the size of the production run. googe can still sell them at a substantial premium to the generic chinese models. and getting google play certified devices in to people's hands opens up other sources of revenue to google. |

![]() ![]() It'll have at least 2 Gb (maybe 4) of RAM compared to the 1 Gb of the Gen 1. The RAM is the one of the limiting factors with the Gen 1. It's going to have a Snapdragon Quad core processor of some description - miles quicker than the Tegra 3. It's actually going to have a rear facing camera, although not that important, it's handy to have. At least a 1080 display, but maybe even a 1920x1200 display. This will make it super sharp. Hopefully the build quality will be better too. Those things right there mean that I'll definitely be upgrading. I have both a Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 and while I love them both, it's clear that the better specs of the Nexus 4 mean that as a device it is WAY faster and more responsive than the '7. |

Is not the emphasis to be on the new US built phone?

I prefer the iPad Mini to the Nexus 7 so I'm going to wait and see what Apple do before getting my next tablet. I would like a slimmer and lighter full size iPad (under 600g) but I'm not sure that will happen. |

Apple's next generation iPad mini is expected to feature an "almost bezel-free" design, along with processor upgrades and a lighter, thinner design.

The Slim Port sounds interesting. Does the device have to be Slim Port compatible or can it be used with the existing Nexus 7's usb port?

At least the specs have been outed:
Android 4.3 JellyBean 1.5 GHz quad-core processor 7-inch screen FullHD (1920x1080 pixels) display 5MP rear camera 1.2MP front-facing camera. For anyone who doesn't already own a Nexus 7 those are pretty good specs i reckon. I could wait for the iPad Mini 2 but October is too far away. I don't own a tablet but when this becomes available for sale i'll be snapping one up asap. |
