Second generation Nexus 7 reportedly launching in May!?
Google is reportedly launching next generation Nexus 7 in May, and according to recent report from Digitimes, Asus is still still manufacturing the device. This rumor is backed by fact that Google I/O is held in the middle of the month. It’s also good decision from Google to keep Asus as the manufacturer, as there’s not much complainments about the built quality of first generation Nexus 7.
What will next generation Nexus 7 offer that first Nexus 7 lacks? Apparently there’s going to be Full HD display and “an industrial design with a thinner display” border. Meaning that there will be less space between display and the actual bezel. Pricing of the next generation Nexus 7 would be similar to first generation Nexus 7′s, $199 and $249.
