Since past year, rumors regarding the next Nexus 7 or something that will follow the 2013 Google Nexus 7 have already surfaced.
Rumor mills have been swirling speculations around the Nexus 7 (2016) since a year ago, but one piece of information has been repeated; the Nexus 7 (2016) is a Huawei-built tablet.
Google and Huawei have a history and the Nexus 6P speaks for this. However, Google is said to have ditched the Nexus branding on its two upcoming phones, which will reportedly be called Pixel and Pixel XL. Although this may sound quite tempting, gadgets freaks are advised to take this piece of information with a grain of salt as Google has remained tight-lipped and has neither confirmed nor denied these speculations.
It’s been roughly three years since Google’s last Nexus tablet was released in the form of Nexus 7. To be more precise, we’re talking about an AMOLED Quad HD display, which means 2560 x 1440 pixel resolution. A new report claims the Huawei-built tablet will be powered by a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor, coupled with a no less powerful Adreno 530 graphics processing unit and 4GB of RAM.
The tablet might also sport a 13MP rear camera, supposedly with some advanced features for snapping pics and recording videos, but details on enhancements haven’t been provided yet. According to the source revealing this information, these specs are based on a pre-production model, so small changes in the final device are possible.
If rumors doing rounds are anything to go about, the upcoming tablet will not be dubbed as Nexus 7 (2016).
Rumor has it Google and Huawei are working together once again, but this time they will be launching a tablet, not a smartphone.
