Nexus 7 2
Now that the second generation iPad mini, or iPad mini 2, has been revealed, we can take a look at the competition to really get a sense of how it stacks up. One of the top competitors, of course, is Google's own second-generation small tablet, often called the Google Nexus 7 2. Here's the rundown.
By all accounts, Apple is about to unveil its 2013 update to the iPad mini, often dubbed the iPad Mini 2, at a West Coast event on Oct. 22. This time around, though, the iPad mini has a lot more competition in the small tablet world.
The next generation of the Google Nexus 7, commonly called the Nexus 7 2, has already been unveiled in the U.S. and released on July 30. But for the U.K., recent reports have put the Nexus 7 2's release date earlier than previously expected.
Google has been awfully quiet about the successor to the popular Nexus 7 tablet released last year, but that hasn't stopped insiders and rumors from spilling out onto the Internet. If it all adds up, then the second-generation Nexus 7 should be releasing by the end of July with some nifty specs.
Google's next-generation Nexus 7 tablet may be arriving in just a month, if a report is to believed. Publication DigiTimes claims that inside sources have confirmed the date, and a price of $229 for the 16GB model.
Google's I/O conference has come and passed and the tech giant failed to reveal its next-generation of Nexus devices. A new report, however, states that the next Nexus 7 tablet should be launching in July.
Google's I/O conference is less than one week away, and the company is expected to unveil a new lineup of devices for the upcoming year. Among them is the second-generation Nexus 7 tablet and one analyst claims he has a pretty good idea of what the tablet will be packing ahead of any official details from Google.
Google's 2012 budget 7-inch tablet, the Nexus 7, did extremely well, putting Google's tablet at the forefront of the tablet wars alongside the iPad and Kindle Fire. The company is widely expected to debut a successor at its upcoming Google I/O conference, except that it could be showcasing Android 4.3, not Android 5.0.
